The BoneWagonGot my new tyres fitted today
Uniroyal RainSport 3s in 215/45x17 XL. Shark skin technology - gotta love that!
Loved the Rainsport 2s and expecting these to be equally good. A rated wet grip and C rated economy. Did the usual roundabout test on the way home and... lets say I have no complaints

Thanked 150 Times in 122 PostsYep, I put 2s on my 850R - that had phenominal handling. I wouldn't fit anything else these days, I'm a huge fan of Rainsports

Thanked 806 Times in 636 PostsMy Winter Tyres are Goodride Budget brand, also rated 'C' for wet grip and economy, £230 for 4 tyres. I'd be interested to see how the costs compare because I can't fault my budget winter tyres for grip and overall handling.
