Hello David
It's a TF
I put the Rainsports on the back. The handling went to pot it randomly changes direction on the straight and mid bend not happy at all as I am sure in contributed to my crash.
The reviews for the tyres are generally good however a few comment on the handling being poor in certain conditions some of the foreign reviews are less complementary. My two options were put more on the front or ditch them and try something different. I have decided to go with Proxies all round although I would prefer a better wet grip tyre.
I would have just gone with the Kumho's again but I cant seem to get the sizes at the moment.
I emailed Uniroyal who came back with this,
Good afternoon Andy,
Thank you for your email, I appreciate your concerns,
Please be assured we do not a stability issue with this tyre.
This may occur on rare occasions when mixing different styles of tyres. The design and development of the latest generations of tyres is highly sophisticated. More parameters have to be addressed, for example the EU Labelling, which covers not only the grip and safety aspects but also the product is judged on the fuel efficiency and comfort. As a result occasionally again for example, if a tyre which is intended to be highly sporty is mixed with a tyre which has a better comfort rating are mixed on the same vehicle the feel of instability may be felt. This can sometimes be remedied by addressing/increasing the pressure. Sometimes there will simply be incompatibilities between makes and models.
The issue needs addressing by you and the tyre retailer where you purchased the tyres from, as that is where you have a contractual agreement under the sales of goods act, and they in turn have entered into the same with us.
I'm sorry this is not an exact science sometimes.However I hope this offers some assistance.
Best Regards
Ian Jackson
