This tyre was brilliant in lots of ways, but I don't think I will use them again. I just ordered uniroyal rainsport 2 at a fraction of the price and I hear they are as good or better.
Pros:
They looked really great on my fiesta zetec-s, the rim protector was superb due to the solid sidewalls, they handled brilliantly wet and dry, they last FOREVER (30,000miles of driving hard) and keep grippy until the end, they felt very sure and smooth at high speed, the sidewalls were super stiff and kept the car flat in the bends.
Cons:
Because there so stiff and hardwearing the ride can break your back (however my suspension is quite stiff anyway), they are priced very high.
In summery this tyre is brilliant for performance/tyre life (possibly the best), however the stiff Walls and medium/hard compound made (coupled with my stiff suspension) made me feel every bump in the road (I had passengers complaining).
If they were £65 a tyre I would live with it but there £90 so can't justify another set.
