Blue Rinse, so last year
Discussion
After the drive to and from Uxbridge on my "slicks" I've gone for a change and ordered a set of Uniroyal Rain Expert 3 tyres.

Are you seriously expecting it be wet in Scotland Mike??? Scotland? ... I'll be ready for whatever you've got ..........
After Spa, I was expecting everyone to be on slicks...
You can't get RainSport 3s in 15" unfortunately. RainExpert (the more humdrum version) are available but not rated so highly. I've been very impressed with the BluResponses on my S2, and I'm used to the RainSports on my other cars. Far better than the Bridgestones that were on before (although they were a little elderly).

your car seemed to be handling better in the wet in Luxembourg than mine was
That was down to the driver not the tyres

Cheaper! The Dunlops seem to have crept up in price and I have another "love" to The Rain Expert van tyres will do for tootling around in the S

The V8S runs on 205/55/15 so you should be able to as well but you will loose a tad of ground clearance.
Ground clearance could be compensated by winding the suspension up a touch but that would exacerbate the S Series "wheels too small for the arches" look. ................. and make the speedo even less accurate!
Tim has the Uniroyals on the Griff now - they make a massive difference to both wet and dry grip. Although he had toyo's before I have driven in both and would definitely recommend them. Also had them on my van !
Slightly chewed after Spa but that means they were doing a good job right ?

Taken the plunge and decided to have Rainsports fitted after wearing out a set of ancient Bridgestones. My friends have commented that they were surprised how much grip they had so hope that rainsports can match and exceed that.
Just need to then fit the new upper wishbone bushes and all should be good!
