So you reckon it's all to do with the condition of the old tyres, rather than anything special with the new ones?YOG said:[post]355380[/post] Depends how old you replaced tyres were. The rubber hardens over time (stiffens the sidewalls, etc), so I would not expect your new tyres to be so good, if you still have them on, in 5 years time.
Matey in the rain the Uniroyal's are a revelation.Have them on both Pumas and when it's wet they are more fun than any other tyre I have tried.Also fitted them to my Exige which for the last 10 years I've run it on AO8s or 888.T hey were fine on track but always arse clenching on wet roads.With Uniroyal's you can throw it around like an Escort mk 1 and know exactly where it's going,I know a fella who races a Vauxhall VX and he has won 2 races in the rain on them.Mrfluffy said:[post]355414[/post] I put 4 new rainsports onto my Millie, to replace the 4 mismatched budget tyres that made the car wallow like a drunken hippo, and I was quite impressed. My Thunder has got 4 Potenza tyres less than a year old, and the Rainsports give a much quieter, more controlled drive. Not tried any real wet weather driving yet, the British summer isnt cooperating at the moment.
What is the benefit of fitting directional tyres on the back?. I've been running Rainsport 3 on 4 corners for about a year now and the car feels more planted wet or dry compared to my son's Puma which has Rainsport front and directional on rear(may not be very scientific research though because his rear tyres are quite old and the rear end is polybushed).Frank said:[post]359455[/post] I've got a pair of asymmetrical Rainsport 3s (very good tyres) on the front, but I want directionals on the rear. What is a good choice for reasonable directionals these day?
Got a pair from General Tojo on the back at the moment (yeah, I know it's Toyo )
Thanks, but I seem to recall that those are asymmetrical tyres.chilipalmer said:[post]359474[/post] I've got Dunlops Sport BluResponse
The tread pattern looks so much nicer than the others.gingerdave said:[post]359475[/post] What is the benefit of fitting directional tyres on the back?
