Hi All,
For the past two years and on two cars I have run the same set of 195/50/15 Uniroyal Rainsport 2s. These were bought for about £45 per corner from Camskill. At the time these were considered to be a good 306 tyre and thrown in the category of budget performance.
My experience of these on a 1.8 XS on track was that the sidewalls are very flexible and are easily sucked under the tyre. They were fantastically predictable in the fact that the entire car would slide sideways in a controllable manner.
On a rallye with the heavier gti engine the lack of grip was concerning and there was a lot of understeer. They could easily be spun up. Wear on the sides was very obvious but with plenty of tread left in the centre and inside.
My experience of these tyres in this time has been that they are a good road tyre but not a performance tyre. This is reflected in the price. They are great value and deliver a lot for the price point but I wouldnt recommend them for any track work. Tread pattern looks cool though!
