Rainsport and Rain expert

Another shout here for Camskill. Don't under any circumstances go via the other crowd as they WILL send you around in 'circles'. They charged me twice and when I complained they told me I'd have to wait at least two weeks to get my overcharged payment back! Not a mention of sorry or apology of any sort and made me feel that I was at fault. I told them that I would remember this at every opportunity to which they said, 'whatever'.

I have the same on mine with power steering, wasn't aware there was a difference.
215 as an option I think when P/S came in. BillC99 said:
I have Rainsports on the rear, but what size 16in are people putting on the front?
I have 16" Imolas front & rear and have been running a full set of Rainsport 2's in the following sizes for the last four years.Front: 205/50 R16 87V
Rear: 225/55 R16 87V
These are fitted to my power steering equipped 4.0 litre Chimaera and have been a fantastic tyre, excellent in the wet and the dry they are also very long lasting. Sadly Uniroyal don't make the Rainsport 2 anymore but as everyone seems to rave about the 3s I'll probably choose them next time.

Don't worry about the 3's Dave, by the time you wear them out 5's will be available Front: 205/50 R16 87V
Rear: 225/55 R16 87V

They seem to wear well. I have a friend who uses them on his road car and has done for about 4-5 years and says the new 3's are even better in rain. . He raced serious machinery so I believe him entirely. I asked him about them before buying mine.
Trip to Birmingham airport yesterday in appalling weather that would have me fraught on older style tyre's, lethal on wet greasy roads, Rainsport total and utter grip, even trying a bit, planted. Brake test as it was p11sing it down and standing water from close to 70 mph, stopped on a sixpence. Fantastically safe grippy tyre's in all weathers.
