This set of tires has been really poor performance and durability, specially on wet surfaces It was clear that they don't have the adequate design. They lasted not even 50% than others in the same range.

Big improvement over the Toyo Teo Plus's they replaced. Quiet on the road, great wet weather grip. The ride is a little firmer over the Teo's, but that was to be expected. Only negative, which was not expected, was the feedback was not as good. Maybe because they are only new a need a little more time to wear in.

Seriously impressed with the performance of these last winter. Have just put them on again ready for the next cold snap. Was a little nervous about going for a 'less expensive' winter tire but they worked incredibly well. As good as the Wintrac (vredestein) I used previously at 40% less cost.
In the snow and ice the grip levels, particularly under braking really inspired confidence. In rain and dry condition you lose a little bit of initial bite as you can almost feel the treadblocks squidge but the grip levels and feedback are excellent.
Did about 4k miles on them from Dec to March and they are hardly worn which surprised me given the softer compound.

Have just ordered another set for wife's car.

Looked for ages to see what tires were available to suit my budget and car's performance. Uniroyal Rainsport 2's came highly rated, i asked some friends and they too recommended them it appears they are some of the best tires for your money i.e.?70 per corner.
Once fitted and bed in they have made driving a joy again the grip and corning speeds have doubled, after sliding around in the snow and wet the last few weeks these have been a god send.
I found them hard to locate and ended up ordering them in to my local garage.
Give them a go, not just for wet weather !
