Given 94% (breakdown) while driving a Lexus IS200 (215-45-17-V)
Driving on mostly motorways for 28,000 easy going miles
These tyres lasted 28K and would have gone another 8k in my opinion if not for me popping the rears on a kerb. They are very quite on the motorway and offer superb grip wet or dry, excellent in the wet and wear well too amazing tyre and highly recommended especially for the lexus as the V tread suits the Lexus handling and balance and wear.

Given 90% (breakdown) while driving a Saab Automobile 9 3 Aero HOT (215-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Overall these are a fantastic tyre - wet grip is great, and dry grip isn't far behind.

Wear is about average, there are better lasting tyres, but they tend to be hard and noisy; which these tyres are not.

I was so happy with the Rainsport 1's that I've just ordered 4x Rainsport 2's, so you may need to add a new section soon!

Given 87% (breakdown) while driving a Toyota MK2 MR2 Turbo (235-40-17-W)
Driving on track for 5,000 spirited miles
Very good road & occasional track tyre.
Superb in the wet - had all the majors before - Toyo, F1s and these are the best. dry grip as good as F1s
Not the cheapest, wear is reasonable for a soft tyre.

Given 90% (breakdown) while driving a SEAT Ibiza FR TDi (205-45-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 22,000 spirited miles
Why to buy this tires:
- Fantastic tyres on rain (at 180km/h on very wet road it goes smooth and secure)
- On dry it goes as good as any good performance tire
- It as a good road feedback (u might strange it at the beginning, but when u force it it just turns harder and harder)
- Progressiveness is smooth (your car wont spin without understanding)
- Changing tyres half the wear, it can hold 35000km with curve speeding (the Ibiza destroys any tyre on the exterior side)
- Good comfort considering the low profile of the tyre

Finally the PRICE:
- VERY GOOD PRICE FOR A BRAND WITH STATUS

DEFINITELY A TYRE TO BUY AGAIN AND AGAIN

Given 74% (breakdown) while driving a Audi A4 (215-35-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
These are really good wet weather tyres and surprisingly good in the dry. Not quite wearing as well as the contis I had before but the rainsport is certainly an impressive all season high performance tyre.

Might try the FK452 next.
