I have Toyo Proxes T1-R tyres fitted to my 16" daily driver wheels on my Ford Focus. They are simply amazing, nothing less
They are however, quite expensive tyres and do wear rather quickly, but in my opinion, as your car has a very small contact area with the road are definately worth the money.
The special directional tread on the T1-R provides excellent grip in the dry and seemingly near identical grip in the wet. There are very few tyres out there in my experience which offer the same level of grip, comfort and quiet road noise. They offer very predictable handling, even right on their limit.
I have seen cases on the older design T1-S where the tread has came apart from the tyre itself on the inner sidewall, but I have heard no cases of this occuring on the T1-R but it is only fair to mention it
For those who would prefer to stick with a more European known brand I would also reccomend the Michelin Pilot Sport or the Goodyear Eagle F1s
