New tyres Rainsport 2 this time.

[krussel]

Tyre time again for the fronts after my tracking got wrecked by a pot hole hit and shreaded the inside edge of my Pzero's

I really wanted to try Rainsport 2 's this time. I tried the tyre shop at the end of my road but they could not get them. I also tried STS but the same story.

In the end i bought 4 from Camskill at £75 ea delivered and had 2 fitted on the front at the local shop.

I will replace the backs prob next year as they still have some meat left.

I am hoping these will give better traction in the wet.

Had the same bother with pot hole on mine. Just fitted x3 Falken ze914 Eco tyres from cams kill. Fantastic tyres at £61 inc delivery each, was tempted with the rain sport 2's tho.

Good choice on the Rainsports. Camskill is a very good site.

Ordered at 11am with £3.99 delivery per tyre and delivered at 9.30am next morning. By 10am fitted on the car, cannot moan at that.

I always used Camskill but found it harder and harder for places that would fit tyres you provide without charging £20 a corner.

Rain sports are one I want to try next also.

I bought Rainsport 2's for my FR when i first bought it. Replaced really done Accelera's and its nice to notice such a massive difference with just tyres. Nice looking tyre to

Yeah this is what i found. Its £15 for fit, valve and balance but then £5 for getting rid of the old tyre. I dont think you can take them to the local dump anymore either.

I bite the bullet as i really wanted to give them a go and handed over £40. So 2 tyres fitted came to about £190 which aint really cheap.

Rainsport 2's are a good tyre. Had a set on the cupra. As you would expect they are great in the rain, found they overheat and go off when on track in the dry though. All round good tyre.

At my local place you're allowed to take 4 each year. They make you sign a form and take your reg number

What do you think so far? As I've just ordered 2 of these last night!

Rainsports are great tyres. But as said they aren't for track. Not that you mmentioned track. The tread just folds over and brakes off. As a road tyre though you really can't beat them for price/performance

Ive only heard good comments over the past 3 years about these tyres. On here, Jaguar and Saab forums.
Everyone seems to agree (no surprises) that they are king in the wet. For me thats what iam after, a bit more grip pulling out on wet roundabouts etc.

Great tyres for street driving! After reading some reviews- very good tyre on wet, but with soft sidewalls, so racing cornering will be average

Yup

Good work, you made them asymmetrical

Not many manufactures will agree they are king in the wet as 'v' tread design does struggle to dissipate water and have now moved away from 'v' tread patterns for this reason, I don't think Conti (owners of Uniroyal) even made a 'v' tread pattern which does kind of indicate their thoughts. On the up side they used to have 9mm in the middle when new.

Just had 5 x Goodyear Eagle F1's fitted to my Cupra for £582 including wheel alignment. Seemed pretty fair price and I got a £40 fuel voucher thrown in
Not sure how well they will last but I hear they're great in dry and wet conditions. I'll let you know in time
