Volvo 1988 Polo Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 5 given 76% (225-35-18-W)
Driving on track for 6000 spirited miles
Car is mostly used for spirited weekend drives and track days, the dry grip is superb, steering feel and feedback were spot-on... some progressive smearing though as heat builds up on the track. I've had those right after Goodyear F1 Asymmetric (1) on my front axle (FWD) and the SC5 felt much more purpose built in the dry. Surprisingly the tires are not that noisy considering how sticky they are.
As for downsides, they can wear out quickly... lasted six trackdays on my front axle in desert-like conditions (extreme heat) before shredding the sidewall. Never drove with them enthusiastically in the wet knowing their purpose...
I'd definitely recommend them if you intend to use them in dry, beware of the wear if driven extremely hard.

Writing about the Uniroyal RainExpert given 93% (155-45-13-)
Driving on mostly town for 4000 easy going miles
I have to be realistic here , since I have a 1988 Polo , but I still take tire performance very seriously .
I have never bought cheap tires ,
to me thats a false economy .
How much other drivers value their and other peoples lives is reflected in their choice of tires .I buy best .
