Uni royal Rainsport 3s

Getting new fronts and going for these, do I want 83 or 87 load?

[nickabrahs]

Had these fitted yesterday. Went for 87 but it's your choice, I just heard they can be a bit squishy at 83 on the sidewall.

Seem good so far but only done 100 miles so reserving judgement.

87 m8 they look like normal tyres with 87 83 will look like there flat. Had them on for nearly 1000miles and they are epic in the wet and realy good in the dry.

[vRSAnt]

Agreed. I had Toyos and had a not entirely confident drive in dry and even less so in the wet. Its transformed by the Unis

Cool that's me sold! Can't go wrong at 60 quid a corner from Camskill!

[Gobsheene]

seen the state of a set of RS3's after a few laps at Combe yesterday. Bloody crap IMO.

Depends on conditions/car/driver. The Leon's PS3/PC5's end up doing laps on a drift car when they hit 2mm, they manage a handful of laps at best, they still do 10-12k of spirited road use well enough. Same with wet weather bike tyres vs a road legal cut slick, in anything less than a downpour they bobble up very quickly and overheat as the blocks move and don't get cooled.

I'm not saying RS3's are good or bad but forming an opinion on a tyre based on someone else doing a few laps of Combe probably isn't the best way to make up your mind.

Ok so Rainsports are on backorder until the 7th of July! Any other tyres worth getting in this price range?

I took mine round Combe back in september, track/ ambient  temp was warmer, the RS2's I had on then were nowhere near as bad as what the chaps RS3's looked like after.

Mine were, and still are, road legal today. (I did have winters on from nov-early march) There's still ~5mm tread on what were the fronts at Combe. I suspect the chaps RS3's are now no longer roadworthy.

I just fitted some Vredestein Ultrac Cento's. Very quiet,deep tread and so far are absolutely excellent. Highly recommended imo and this was also from a very good friend that is a tyre fitter for a living. Lovely tyre wall design too, very bling :-)

Got Kumho KU39 fitted for 75 a corner all in.  First impressions are actually much better than the pzero nero I had on before and the tyres don't look flat all the time!

I've got them on at minute they grip we'll wet and dry just didn't last long
