Uniroyal Rainsport 2 vs Goodyear GSD3! + Help Please :)

[DScape]

No experience with the Goodyears, but recently had Rainsport 2's fitted to the front and they're excellent! 205/40/17 @ £70 a corner fittted.

To be honest, you probably can't go wrong either way.

they have proved to be pretty useless in the recent snow and ice.

If your just heading for a tyre change then that won't have helped.

I think everything was pretty useless in the recent snow and ice - but you cant buy tyres to cater for just one week of the year.

Thats really good value! Where did you get them fitted ? I cant find anywhere which stocks them and few people order them in..

Mytyres is £300 for the lot them would have to get someone to fit them.

They were just as bad when new - anything running 45 profile is bound to be although knackered rear brakes kinda don't help either

Although some tyres that have cross cut centre and shoulder rather than V-tread generally tends to be a little better on packed down snow, it's almost impossible to find a tyre that can cope with that kind of temperature and condition swing.

I've heard Toyo Proxes TR-1 are meant to be good albiet a bit soft
