Uniroyal rainsport2 for me as well but in 195/45/16.

Run them on the other halfs astra but in 235/45/18 and they are just as good, 20k miles and just needing replaced. She doesn't drive hard lol

+1 for uniroyal rainsport 2s get mine from tyretraders tried
pirelli p zero thought were crap
federal crap
proxes crap

now going to try Kumho KH31 see how they are but uniroyals are the best iv'e had on this car for wet grip and dry.

hmm Uniroyal Rainsport 2's....never heard of these before, seems pretty unanimous so far, be interesting to see what others say.

The tyres im running are awesome much beter than toyos

Sure there Vredstein sport trac 3s

Leon boys run Vredstein tyres alot

Very grippy work awesome with my diff cheaper than toyos and a sexy tread patteren which always helps

 

[Tucker157]

Heard good about the uniroyal rainsport 2's from many many people.
Verdestein have a good reputation too

I like Pirelli pzero Nero. I run 205/45/16, can't fault them, I drive rather hard as well, progressive on the limit. And found them very useable in the snow lol

[CupraSean]

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Give em a ring first 01788 550045

Speak to Ross

Say Dan at GSF sent you should look after you

Just go into his tyre shop slowly

 

[CupraSean]

Cheers pal !!

Go in slowly ? lol sounds like there is a story behind that ? or is it really bad for lowered cars ?

 

[denzil691]

might try the vredesteins next then

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

+1 on the Vredestein's. I'm running the Ultrac Sessantas which I believe is the previous design. They didn't have the Sportracs in the size I required. They get nothing but rave reviews on the BMW forums.

R888 for track 195/50 16 = Superb in dry!

Goodyear GSD F1 205/40 17 = Great allround tyre

 

[Tony 156]

Currently running uniroyals, good in the dry, really good in the wet. Best tyre I've used on my cupra is the Michelin ps3. Very good tyre and lasts much longer than any of uniroyals or vestiens, toyos etc...

Do have R888's on a set on 15's for track days and summer fun though.
