General Just changed to Uniroyal Rainexpert

[Metalguru3]

Hi folks
I've just swapped my Yokohama 539's 175/50 x13's for a set of 155/70 x 13 Uniroyal Rainexperts - in saving the Yokos for summer
The car looks totally different almost like I've put longer springs on with the tyre diameter a good 30-40 mm bigger but I'm hoping I get better grip on grass autotests.
Has anybody else any experience using these?

ive recently fitted the uniroyal rainsports in 195 45 14 on 6j wheels and i hate them lol... i wish id spent the extra 10er a corner and gone for yokos again, dont get me wrong theyre not terrible, they do give a much comfier ride and are really great in the wet, but in the dry and at high speed they really dont give much confidence, the car almost feels as though its driving on jelly, slight inputs from the steering seem to send the car wollowing into the middle of the road, and heavy inputs when driving 'spirited' induces massive understeer even in the dry, ive absolutely no fair in them and really dont trust them in anything but massive downpours (when you cant actually drive fast)

theyre the first thing ill be changing when summer comes and possibly put them on a set of steelies for the winter

let me know how you get on with them though



cheers
