Tyres??

Good to finally hear some feedback on the Rainsport 3s.
Used to put Rainsports 2s on my old remapped Fabia VRS (170bhp / 280lb/ft) and they'd grip in standing water with traction control off from a standing start. Was properly impressed.
Looks like @ £67 / tyre I'll be giving the RS3s a go in a month or so
I'd usually swear by Michelins, but not for £40 more per corner.

I think they are proper tyres (wet & dry). Im still thinking about what to do next. I have 2 RS3 and 2 Michelin PS3 (almost shot). Either it will be:
2x Rainsport 3 (so 4x RS3 in total) or 2x Yokohama Advan AD08, im thinking about putting on some Ultra High Performance summer tyres on there for once.

11K from P Ross's on front
Just got 11,000 miles out of P Ross's RUNNING AT 33 Psi on the front. Given what been's said probably go again for these- only 5000 miles would worry me
The Goodyears will definitely last a little bit longer. I think the average driver should expect at least 12000 miles out of a pair of Uniroyals on the front.

In my experience most tyres are generally good in the dry top brands and uniroyals and hankook v12s also. its the water that makes them bad.
The uniroyals have an A rating for water unshure about hankooks .
Looking up the Goodyear Eagle F1's came across the 'efficient grip' they appear to be just as good.

That is very impressive mileage,yes it's not mega hp but still you must be a careful driver.
Lol, i don't have much choice due to travelling on single carriageway A roads to work, 20k a year!
My GY Eagles Asy 2's have done 11k and look not far off new, guy that did the MOT thought they were no more than a couple of K old.
Highly recommended tyre, although the only ones I've had on the Leon plenty or others on previous cars and I really do rate these.

That's impressive as well-must be a hard compound to get that sortopf mileage.Do you find that the Asymetricals go quicker on the edges if the tracking is out and you can't swop them around?

I keep my tracking tip top so not had any issues there.
I am very surprised but in honesty 85% of my driving is in London so town speeds. We have done 2 euro road trips (2k and 3.2k round trips) and a le Mans which were pretty hard going.
My old man preferences these and he does 40+K a year in big estates, he's been through just about every tyre out there and said these can't be beaten for performance and wear rate.
How did you manage that as they are on their site for £87.60 plus postage for 225/40r18 Goodyear Eagle F1's? That's good going.
