My RSRs were dreadful in wet and greasy conditions on Saturday and i even left the tarmac and a ridiculously slow speed.
Thankfully no real harm done.
So i amlooking to replace my tyres on the SP12s with something more UK weather friendly.
Currently looking at 255/35/18 and 215/40/17 Uniroyal Rainsport 3's
Anybody have them fitted or any other recommendations?

I can't say much about the tyre as I've not driven on them yet. But they are rated highly as road tyres when you don't have your super stickys on 
Have you looked at tyreleader.co.uk? Did me an excellent deal on a set of 4, delivered for just over £300 if I recall.
Camskill are cheaper for the sizes i want. Comes to about £380 for the 245/35/18's and 215/40/17 delivered.Have you looked at tyreleader.co.uk? Did me an excellent deal on a set of 4, delivered for just over £300 if I recall.
There was a place in Birmingham were very competitive when i bought the RSRs. Cant remember the name at the moment ???
Just returned from the fitters. Charged me £60 which i thought was fair. Nicely balanced ready for going 170 + next week at Elvington 
First impressions.... nice comfy feel and i am sure the steering is much lighter. Not pushed them yet, need to wear off that first skin first. Pretty much did that to the rears as i left the tyre fitters already

Went for a drive up to Windermere yesterday.
I think these tyres definately need some time to bed in.
In comparison to the Federal RSRs i found the car felt a little vague and somewhat 'floaty' at speed.
It must be noted that i did soften the Nitrons a few clicks while the tyres were being fitted.
So next weekend i will reset the shox and see if it still feels the same.
Certainly dont want it feeling that way when i am doing 170 at Elvington on 21st.
