..................Pooky Bear to 2 new front tyres today. She now has Uniroyal Rainspots on all 4 corners. The better of the old fronts is now all the full size spare. Got a very good deal from Alltyres in Woodford Essex.

Did consider selling the car this year but that idea has now been postponed.

i think it would sell better as a normally aspirated one.....:D

Uniroyal Rainsports
 

I have the Uniroyal Rainsport 3 on my V8 after running the previous variation on my CDTi and I can not praise them enough. They are BY FAR, the best tyre I have ever had on my V8 and I would 100% recommend them to any other user with 18 wheels. I have 225x45x18's on the front and 245x40x18's on the back. I ran the same size on my CDTi and it was fantastic. Both cars have Apex wheels.
I did three laps of the Nurburgring with these tyres and the grip in dry was fantastic. I have only tested them in light rain as the V8 doesn't normally go out when its wet, but, in light rain on the German Autobahn at speed they were rock solid.
I have run Continentals and some cheaper variations on the V8 and/or CDTi in the past and would not do so again. These new Uniroyals are fantastic and I think a very underated tyre. Keep it quiet though, otherwise the prices will increase. A bonus is, I think, they are made in the UK......
I know, the Apex wheels are mostly accepted as being half an inch to narrow for a 245 tyre but I have had no issues on either car what so ever.
All the best, Jarrad

I prefer Hankook EVO2 the sidewall is harder than the UniRoyal.

Also its hard to take posts seriously when people insist on calling their car Pookie Bear... I dont mean any offence, its pretty weird though, but each to their own!!

PS I hated ContiSportContact on the ZT, but the RFTs are MUCH better for roadholding/feel that is for sure.

It's Pooky Bear, and the name is in honour of my late wife. But like you said to each there own.

Ahhh in that case I totally get it..

Sorry about your wife :(

Me and my big mouth.

No problem and no offence taken.
