Post by: Scottymon on September 01, 2014, 08:02:08 pm: Used to love the Rainsport 1 and 2 on my old car in the wet, but the Goodyear Eagle F1 beats them hard in the dry and probably similar in the wet, not tried the 3 though.

Winters coming grab some winter wellies. :laugh:

Post by: Scottymon on September 01, 2014, 09:11:54 pm: Then, personally I'd go for the Eagle F1's or the Michelin Pilot Super Sports; around £85/£105 respectively in 225/40/18. :happy2:

Post by: Scottymon on September 04, 2014, 10:17:15 pm: Not sure why the Vreds have a poor Wet Grip rating compared to the others:

AS2: A
PS3: A
PSS: A
RS3: A

Vreds: C (http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b758s134p111412/Vredestein_Tyres_Car_Vredestein_Ultrac_Sessanta_-_225_40_R18_92Y_XL_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_F_Wet_Grip%3A_C_NoiseClass%3A_1_Noise%3A_67dB)

:confused:

Post by: xjay1337 on September 05, 2014, 07:49:49 am: The EU tyre regs are a load of poo anyway.... Eagle f1 in same size has both a and b depending on load rating. Sessantas are a far better tyre than the rainsports.

Post by: Scottymon on September 05, 2014, 09:36:11 am: Hmm, not sure what to make of it really, as the tests are at least standardised and not decided by just opinion which is always flawed in comparison tests.
Title: Re: Vrendstein senssata vs Uniroyal Rainsport 3
Post by: Spankiee on September 05, 2014, 06:31:57 pm: The ultrac sessanta wet grip I found to be excellent and I used to own a turbo vauxhall which is known for shocking understeer. :pomppomp:

I had 3 sets on that car.
Title: Re: Vrendstein senssata vs Uniroyal Rainsport 3
Post by: Scottymon on September 05, 2014, 06:45:59 pm: I find it strange all the others have an A rating and the vReds a C then, all things being considered.

Also worth noting the Eagle's are lighter by around 2.5lb per corner for those wanting to save unsprung weight - and the fuel rating seems better on the Eagle's...

Reason I'm drilling here, is because I'm considering PSS or AS2 (again) or the vReds.

Post by: Spankiee on September 05, 2014, 09:12:12 pm: A lot of people have ps3's I do on my edition 30. I would of gone for the vreds again but I had Michelins on the back already
