Uniroyal RainSport 2 rated 81% while driving a BMW 330d SE
Driving on mostly town for 2500 average miles
After a back breaking few months on Bridgestone potenzas RE050A(run flats)on my BMW 330d, I changed over to Rainsport 2 after one of my rear runflats got punctured. I did check with my insurance AVIVA and there was no problem as long as the sizes were as for the stock car. Immediately there was a massive improvement in comfort on the rainsports and nearly 8 months later, they are still very comfortable with less road noise. Road feedback was probably 20% down from the potenzas when new, but after a few weeks the feedback improved to an extent, still about 10% down compared to the potenzas. Grip in dry is as good as the potenzas, and clearly better in the wet, able to carry faster speeds through curving roads in the wet. They seem to be wearing well, but time will tell. Overall, very satisfied with purchase, used one of the online companies who fitted the tyres at home, good experience overall. Thinking of getting 4 new ones for my partner's ford focus if I can get a good deal on the net again.
