To replace Dunlop SP Sport 3000's. Were £64 a corner all in, so much cheaper for starters. Here's some info.

Had my heart set on Uniroyal Rainsport 2's, and had a great price of £308 all in for all 4, but couldn't get them in 205/50/r16 and ran out of time as I've been running on worn tyres for far too long. So decided that if I couldn't get what I really wanted I'd go for the money saving option, and in the original size of 195/55/r16!

So far I'm pleased. Not as quiet or smooth as I was perhaps hoping, but my expectations may have been to high. It is quieter and more comfy so hoping over time it will improve further. Less tram-lining and I was getting wheel wobble under braking which has gone.

Grip is great!! The biggest improvement by far. Less aquaplaning too, seem to cut through standing water and don't get the traction control light on!! I was concerned that the softer walls would mean more roll or less feedback, but the handling is just as sharp as before.

Will report back further findings!

Same tyres as me, although in a slightly different size (I think) They were recommended by my local tyre shop, so went with it, as anything else would have been quite a bit more...

Great to hear James, it's always a worry changing to a different brand, but I've heard good reports so should be fine

just wait till they are properly scrubbed in, and you have some dry roads to play on then you will see the benefits

Thanks everyone. Glad you all seem to approve.

Just wondered how you are finding these tyres now that you have had them a while.

Good point Gilly! how are they treating you James, would you get them again or try something new? Are they coping with the torrential rain ok?

Mine are great in the wet, I leave it in the drive and use Julie's MINI instead

Been absolutely fine. Still seem pretty sticky in the wet. I would still like to try the Uniroyals but for the price I'm really happy. Think they're wearing pretty well too.

Do you have the 912's then Dave??

Thanks for the reply James. Bee needs some more tyres (no change there then!) and fancy a change from the Toyos T1 R's which I have been happy with but can be a bit indifferent in the wet.

Try the rainsports if you can Gilly - supposed to be AMAZING in the wet - I think James will try them next too

Cheers will see what sort of price I can get them for. Ron has just had a new engine and Bee had advisories after her first MOT so the cash is most definitely not flowing at the moment!!

i had these tyres on my old car. they lasted ages paired to other brands

Thanks Jack.

if i rember i got roughly 27k out of a set.
