Advice Needed on Tyres

[Matthewd91]

Had a look on search and theres lots of different options out there!! Ive had a look on Camskill and ive narrowed it down to Toyo T1-R's which i had on my last car for a few months and Uniroyal Rainsports 2's!! Being it coming into the winter and living in Scotland i need tyres that will be very good in the rain and i cant pull away at the moment without spinning wheels

Just looking for opinions of what people would recommend out of these 2 considering i may be changing the wheels next summer anyway!!

BTW the T1-R's are £60 a tyre on camskill.
The Rainsport 2's are £58 a tyre!!

no idea on toyos but have used rainsports in the past and they are excellent especially as you might guess in the wet ,highly recommended for the money.

what size do you have? i cant see them at that price on camskill any chance of a link m8?

Yeah i just noticed that there when i checked the tyre i have no idea why i had 55 in my head haha cheers

Think i may be ordering myself a set of these, are they good in all weather though?

 

[Matthewd91]

Anyone know anywhere that i can get the Rainsport 2's for a decent price before next weekend?

I found them difficult to get for a decent price and the availabilty was also a problem. Ended up with toyos there fine for everyday driving tbh.

Yeah the toyos are good i had them on my last car for a few weeks b4 i sold it, never really drove in the wet though, being the winter i need a tyre thats going to give good grip in the wet too, you still reckon toyos?

Cheers for all the help guys shall let yooze know what i go for

In the end the Uniroyal Rainsport 2's werent in stock So i decided to go down a different route as these tyres are most likely only going to be on the car till next summer, i have a Nankang NS1 on my spare wheel in the boot (Full Size) and its brand new so i just ordered another one of these and will put them on the front and put one of the old front tyres on the spare wheel

Does anyone know if these tyres are any good at all?

I'm running 452's also at the moment cant fault them too much in the dry but I personally dont rate them well in the wet
