Rainsports, whats your views ?

[Andi]

After reading about F1s in recent topic i have gone off them.

But i hear rainsports are realy good in all weather conditions, and are of simular price to the Goodyears.

Im tempted to buy a set in the next few days, anyone have any good or bad experiances with them ?

Thanks

goodyears do grip slightly better in the dry but show the rainsport a corner or deep puddle in the wet and its a different story. good rim protection on both.

Who makes the rain sport?

uniroyal.

had them on my cordoba and they are spot on.
going to put them on my vrs as and when ,as many have reported ,F1's from china are shite.

Considering our weather, anything that makes driving in the wet better is a good idea...

Taiwan ones are shite.

German and Chinese are OK.

Rainsports were very good on my ibiza, quiet and grippy in wet and dry conditions

Rock hard though and after a while they got even harder and started to go off on my Ibiza.

I was worried when I read all the posts at first as I had just had some Chinese fitted the day before.

Having read abit deeper though they have all the nessesary E numbers and are performing just as well as the German ones that they replaced.

I always thought E numbers were bad

I had Rainsports then F1's straight after and in the wet I found the Rainsports were probably better, and not really any worse in the dry.

I've got Rainsport's on my Leon after deciding i couldnt afford 18" F1's! I regret that, grip isn't too great in my opinion in the wet, have used Kumho's and even they were better! lol

You can't drive though

 

[mrcoyote]

You can't drive though

True.

 

[satilaboy]

do the rainsports wear ok? any worse/better than say F1's or toyo T1R's.

consdidering the rainsports as it is more often wet than dry up here in scotchland

 

[WeeJase]

they wear better than f1's imho,but that's the trade off with slightly less dry grip(not much of a difference).
and looking out of the window,we need all the wet grip we can get at the moment.
