Hi All
new to all this My first post
Time has come to, change my Toyo proxies t1r
Size 225 50 16 92w
Have seen the recommendations for the Uniroyal rainsport 3 but also see the rainsport 5 version are out now, anyBetter ?
But Also I’m thinking about replacing these with the Michelin primacy 4 as good wet rating A and rooling res C
Better than uniroyal ( A & E )
Has/ does anyone any experience of theses tyres on their chimearas
It’s a bit of a minefield and was hoping for all your expertise
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply and very helpful expert content
All makes good Sense about sticking to the road but more resistance etc
Sounds like I can’t go wrong with either choice of the Rainsport Tyres , so now thinking might as well try the rainsport 5 as like you say may be a bit harder wall but just an update on the 3 and as good if not better

Thanks again 👍

Hi all
Thanks again for all your reply’s with valuable Info
Sorry I couldn't post back sooner as I’ve been locked out unable to post as a new member because of a message that other new members had been sending abusing post etc
Anyway update ,I’ve received this morning my new set of rainsport 5s got a great deal
£270 for the set of 4 ,back and fronts bought separately different companies and getting them fitted tomorrow morning from my local garage £10 a corner so £310 fully fitted . Getting laser wheel alignment done as well
£50 so very happy with this and can’t wait to try them out
Will give feedback when I’ve done a few good miles in all conditions 👍

They will need 100 miles to scrub them in, (before you come back on here telling us there's no grip!!!)
That's because of the releasing agent.

Just had them fitted this morning
Thanks ,yes good advice , will Have them suitably scrubbed in Before I report back
I’m taking her to Blackpool next week To have a new back window and reupholstered roof
So that will give her a good near 300 mile rountrip
Looking forward to the drive already 😀

Hi all
As promised here is my update on the uniroyal rainsport 5 tyres
Been a while since I posted but have given enough time to sufficiently bed them in driving in all weathers ( not intentionally may I add ) and road types doing approx 700 miles
I’ve been really impressed by them, they seem well suited to the car ,handling seems more precise and better grip when cornering especially in the wet ,no tram lining etc .I do think they are definitely an improvement on the Toyos and also think they are slightly softer in the tyre wall helps you stick to the road although does give out a little more road noise but hey ,when you have that V8 sound track playing ,who cares !
I’m really pleased I decided to go with these and would definitely recommend them
thanks again for all your help and advice
Cheers all
