Stuck between these 2, got 2 seriously bad punctures on the front so thought I'd treat the clones to some new tyres all 4.
Uniroyal rainsport 2's = £148.99 for 4
Uniroyal rainexperts = £120 for 4 (cash sale) of a mate
The rainexperts appear to be dearer on eBay at £51.99 a tyre
What's your reviews on which ones I should get?

Are you getting 50 or 55 profile tyres? 50's are muchos cheaper! I know a lot of people highly rate the RS2's for there sheer grip in the wet although they do have quite a soft side wall so look 'flat' as such

I recommend Parada Spec 2s in the wet. Can't go wrong. Specially with some 4-pots aswell....

Expensive but i'd say they're worth the price, seem to last ages and the grip in dry and wet is awesome

I'm damn happy with my rainsport 2's, considering more often than not in this country it's wet, it makes sense to me!

Just got the car back And took her for a spin, and wow such a difference they are much much smoother than the budgets that was only and with them being 195/50/15's they fill the arch so much better, it's currently raining here and I've got to say it grips a hell of a lot more it feels like I'm driving it in the dry!! Rainexperts FTW and at £30 + vat a tyre you can hardly complain!
