Title: Uniroyal Rainsport 2s - Any opinions?
Post by: Aldo on January 05, 2010, 07:46:28 pm

I bought a pair of Uniroyal Rainsport 2s for my ED30 after reading the following:

They were 80 quid each but I haven't had them fitted yet. Thing is....now I'm not so sure if they are any good or not. Any opinions?

Have I c*cked up here??? :confused:

I can't really say mate, but my dad used to swear by Uniroyals, and he used to drive back and forth to Italy 3-4 times a year. this was in the 90's though.  :ashamed:

TBH I haven't really heard anything of Uniroyal since the 90's.

For some reason they're getting harder to source in the UK, but they're actually really good tyres.  I used to use them but my local supplier went bust.

They're part of Michelin so you know they'll be good quality.
