Hyundai Coupe 2.0L Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Uniroyal RainExpert given 94% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
I fitted set of these on my rear in the spring 2011 and left the old Fulda Cerat Exellaro on the front. Now with my old Fuldas on the back my rear side tented to brake out at moderate speeds in the coreners, especially in the wet. Fulda do not do well in the wet. Thatswhy I bought these Rainexperts(mine were made in Slovakia). Instantly after changing the tyres my rear end stayed exactly where I wanted it. They are like glued to the road. Now before the winter came I also changed the front ones since I read here that they are not that bad in the snow. When I replaced the front ones, there was a lot of wheel spin. I didnt understand whats going on since the rear ones were like glued to the surface and these were well... bad. All 4 were bought at the same time, the front ones were in my garage waiting to be mounted. But after 1000km the front ones became as good as the rear ones. I dont know why, they just did.
The temperatures here (Croatia) are now -10°C and they are apsolutly great! When the road is dry the low temperatures do not represent any problem for these tyres. They also cope well in the recent snow. Of course, they are NOT winter tyres but they do wery well. I am not one of those guys who never have driven a winter tyre and then say oh this one is great in snow. Actually I always had winter tyres up till now. I also tried other summer tyres in the snow and these outperform those by far. Just few days ago it was snowing and I was on the motorway going 100km/h when I had to do an emergency maneuver due to some guy that was driving only 50km/h on a motorway. My heart almost stopped but thanks to these tyres I managed to avoid a colision. The car wabbeled a bit but nothing dramatic. I only wish the braking distance in the snow would be a bit shorter (I mean when you really slamm the brakes), but I guess I cant expect these to be perfect in all conditions (ABS was working overtime). All in all I would recommend you to try these first before you buy a set of winter tyres. For summer - a definitive must have.

Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 spirited miles
I fitted these tyres after the OE pilot primacy tyres wore out surprisingly after only 12k
The key negative is that they are not that great in sub zero temps or snow but hey that's what I bought winter tyres are for.
In the dry they are outstanding offering equal levels of grip, comfort and feedback, in the wet however I have never known levels of grip like it, the mich's were good to a point then just let go with no feedback, these give early warnings that you are approaching their limit, the feedback through polybushed suspension is so instinctive.
They did wear quickly on set 3 due to the rubber suspension bushes wearing, the car has done 110k now and I've never fitted anything else other than a spare set of wheels with winters on

Expensive but well worth the extra cash. I do seem to go through a front pair every 15k but thats more likely to be my driving style.

Only fitted a couple of used Nangkangs on my car temporarily on a spare set of rims whilst I was re-furbing my main ones, and was surprised by them. May not be the best tyre available, but certainly one of the best in their price bracket.

When I bought my car I had two of these on the front. I was pretty unimpressed for the price that they cost when it came to replace them.

Dry grip is acceptable but certainly nothing to write home about, they seem to warm up quite highly and are happy at a higher temperature than Toyo Proxes T1-Rs and performance does improve when they are heated correctly.

Wet performance is an absolute joke. The tyres are quite willing to aquaplane, they really aren't all that progressive and give little feedback and indication of how close to the limit they are.

The one saving grace I suppose is the wear rates of these tyres. They seem to have been on my car since the dawn of time. I drove about 15000 hard miles on them and got so frustrated with the lack of grip I put them on the back. But it's only now - 8000 miles later - that I've finally needed to change them.

It's no real use me commenting on how the comfort is as my car's setup with coilovers and is very stiff so...

All in all, there's no chance I'd be buying these again, especially when Proxes T1-Rs are cheaper and offer so much more grip and feel. Sure, they won't last as long as these will, but then again I'm not sure Stonehenge will.

Driving on mostly town for 8000 average miles
Really poor tyre - had them on the front of a Hyundai Coupe 2.0 and have just replaced them because they were illegal after only 8000 miles. I have driven mostly short journeys, bur still, 8000 miles? I think they are a very poor tyre that are awful value for money. My advice: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH MARANGONI
