Toyo Proxes are around £72 each, i paid £82 for Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD2, for the sake of a tenner extra id go for a branded tyre if you can.

Bear in mind, sometimes your better paying a wee bit more for the tyres, as they'll last longer, works out cheaper.

I thought Proxes were ok grip wise, but to be honest they just fall apart under any stress. Tyres are one thing you really shouldnt skimp on, though shopping around should always get you a good deal. I managed to get 2 semi slicks inc fitting and balancing for £160, though to be fair the road tyres cost about the same.

I reccomend Uniroyal Rainsports, grippy in the dry, outstanding in the wet, and best of all, they last, did 2 hours round knockhill on them with very little notable wear, and they obviously get nowhere near that kind of treatment on the road. Again, thse are only around the £70-£80 mark, but thats for 15's, so I would expect a bit more for 17's.

EDIT - On mytyres.net the rainsports are £85 each in your size, about £6 more than Proxes T1-R. Personally I would pay the extra £30 and get a tyre that I knew was good, but then you'd have to trust my rating of the tyre. Never seen them on a heavier car to make comment, but a lot of my mates use them as well on tuned P1's, GTi-R's etc all pushing out well over 300bhp, so they cant be that bad. Plus, if you look around locally you may get them cheaper, they dont cost as much as that at local places here, but obviously thats no use to you lol.
