Title: ANYONE RUNNING UNIROYALS RAINSPORTS
Post by: krazysteve on May 11, 2017, 20:35
As above what tyre pressures people running.
Had Potenza's on and they felt planted at all speeds and conditions. ( 26 fronts 32 rears)But they seem to be difficult to get in both sizes.
Just fitted on rear for the time being, tried 33, 36 now down to 30, has improved but still gets scary at higher speeds.
No, tracking has not been checked but car was planted before.
cheers

love them on my other car but have not tried on a 2.
How close are they to OEM spec in terms of load rating?

Given how poor the car can feel on mixed tyres, it may be the case that the pairing you have just doesn't work.

Rainsports where only £100 fitted, but i have free use of a tyre m/c etc.Rears that is.
When i last bought the potenza's  (2015) all four where £192 delivered, tbh if i could still get both sizes in them it would be a no brainer.
Loved how they gave feedback and always felt planted.
