sjbrowning7 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Just purchased 4 brand new uniroyal rainsport 2's. Buzzing to see how these can perform and how long they can last. My Yokohama s drives on the front have probably lasted me 6 months, not ideal when I do a lot of driving. Decided to get 50 profiles instead of 45's so I'm hoping they sit well in the arches! Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 tbh u have bought some amzing tyres there matey. i am getting those next when me r888s wear out. my mates just fitted rainsports to his fiesta mk5 and they are amazing to say the least very well done and enjoy them !!! Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 Haha cheers man, in this country you need rain tyres. It's crazy going for ones that can only cope in the dry I feel. The s drives were brilliant tyres but they deteriorate far too quickly! Quote
AdamB Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Make sure you set the tyre pressures mate. I ran them on the rear of my GT with 30psi and going in a straight line it felt really light, but round corners they were pretty damn good. Quote
daniel_g Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 You'll defo need them man, its total pishing down the now !! Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 Yeh I need tyres to go round the bends here. There's only a few straights around here but I'm sure they should be fine. What psi did you set them at? I normally go for 32 front and 30 back. I know dan, this weather is brutal lol Feart! Quote
daniel_g Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 There best straights are round the hillfoots way and a good rip over the clackmannan bridge I normally go for 28 all round, they'll go up to 30+ during driving. Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 The carse can be pretty epic. Went flying along there one night at around 140. Sound, once the tyres arrive and get fitted I'll sort that out. Quote
daniel_g Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 What up bridge of allan way ? Fuck that man lol. That M9 has a beast of a straight from the granada roundabout services up to the raploch. I had the GT waaaaay off the clocks there man lol. Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 Nah from the castle out to Kippen. A traffic police car left the road at 150mph on the carse. Ha I am too scared to do those speeds, it's far too bouncy and the front goes so light! Was going 120 from Callander to Stirling though, Ross was shitting it he said haha! Anyway, I should be safe enough with the new tyres! Quote
Weyro Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Just fitted another set of Rainsports to my car, best tyres ive ever used on any car, brother has them on his too Quote
scottyb Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Ive got them on mine too, awesome tyres. Have hit bits of standing water before and hardly noticed it! Still wouldnt recommend doing that though lol Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 Hate the 50 profiles already. Going to have to buy new ones in 45's. My car is too low for them to 1. Look good 2. Not scrub when I go over bad bumps. FUCK! Quote
ali_legend Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Hate the 50 profiles already. Going to have to buy new ones in 45's. My car is too low for them to 1. Look good 2. Not scrub when I go over bad bumps. FUCK!Sell them to me ;) Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 I'll need to first get the other tyres mate. I'm stressing out over them ha Quote
daniel_g Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 You waited ages for them aswell man. Here they'll be better than those 3 pointer racing slicks you have atm lol. Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 ill buy 2 can even pick them up Ha I'll ask my neebor if I can borrow his steelies for now and I can sell them. Just went and bought a lot of stuff today as well.Did you buy 195/50/15's yeh? You waited ages for them aswell man. Here they'll be better than those 3 pointer racing slicks you have atm lol. Lol I think I'd rather have the slicks back. Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 Fuck it, may just deal with these tyres for now and do sweet ass burn outs with them and then buy the 45's haha Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 I can't be arsed ripping them off mate. Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Could be a possibility of selling them now. Just need to arrange some wheels out. Quote
Amjad Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 I've ran two sets of the 50s, great tyres but like you said the 45s look a lot better! Should have less sidewall flex too Quote
sjbrowning7 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 I've ran two sets of the 50s, great tyres but like you said the 45s look a lot better! Should have less sidewall flex tooI fully agree, I'll never be going back to 50's ever again. It's made me a very stressed man. Quote
