i changed my factory spec Eagle NCT5's when they came to the end of their life which was 17000miles,i then decided to shop about for a cheap yet big brand tyre.I saw the reviews for Rainsport2 on this site and thought i would give them a go.I think these are fantastic they are much grippier and quieter than my old NCT5's were.I have done 5000miles since fitting the Rainsport2's and the wear is very low,i do tend to do about 70% of my driving on motorways,however these tyres perform great in twisty country lanes.The tyres could be pushed harder but unfortunatly the cars handling is not up to it.The are great tyres,i would always recommend these tyres.Why spend ?120 per tyre when you can get these. fitted for less than ?70.

I currently have a set of CSC3's on the front and a set of CSC2's on the rear of my car, and they have transformed the handling and grip levels considerably compared with the Falken 452's and Toyo Proxes T1-R's I was using before.
In terms of ride quality, I honestly cannot notice any significant difference between the CSC3's and the CSC2's, other than the CSC2's being a tad noisier when driving on motorways.
So far, both the CSC3's and the CSC2's are wearing well with hardly any wear evident after 1000 miles of driving, unlike the Toyos which had worn down by 0.5mm within 500 miles when on the fromnt of the car.
Dry weather handling is very good and wet weather handling is excellent. Both the CSC3 and CSC2 are very nicely balanced tyres. They're expensive compared to some other performance tyres but are, in my view, worth every penny.

Was wiery at first to say the least..
However, once the usual wax covering had worn off.. my god they grip! For what seems like a relativaly cheap tyre they are very good! I have bridgestones on the back and these barum's on the front and the B/Stones give up easier!
I have now done about 6,000 miles since having the fronts changed, wearing evenly and not wearing quickly! They are also much quieter than the B/stones.
Having done some research into Barum, it turns out it is a "budget" brand made by Continential! Having read up on them and experienced them first hand, i wouldnt say they are budget at all.
The rears are shortly due a replacement and i will defo use Barums again!

Excellent wear characteristics:
60K on Front
100k on Rear
for 2 successive Sets of Tyres.
Shame they are no longer available. Will try ER300's .Hopefully these will be as good.

The best thing I found with these tyres is that the wear rate is excellent. The rear tyres had 7mm of tread left after 9000 miles and the fronts were about 50% worn after doing the same mileage.
The dry grip is not as good as either the ContiSportContact 2 or 3's or the Toyo Proxes T1-R's I've had on the car. The wet grip is better than the Toyos but nowhere as good as the Conti's.
When the temperature drops below 7 degrees or so these tyres do not engender much confidence due to their relatively hard ride. Damp roads (at any temperature), also caused some grip problems at times.
Whilst they're a cheap alternative to set on Conti's (at ?60 per corner fitted, compared with ?120 for the Conti's), I would advise spending the extra money as the Conti's transformed the handling of my car significantly compared to what the FK452's (and the T1-R's), could offer.

Very good grip in the dry - on a par with ContiSportContact 3 and 2's.
Not so good in the wet - the tyre felt terrible even on straight line motorway driving as it squirmed over every bump in the road.
Wear rate is very poor - 0.5mm in 500 miles is not what I class to be good value for money.
Overall a good dry weather tyre. I wouldn't trust them in the wet though, hence I sold them on (at a loss) with 7.5mm tread remaining and bought another set of Conti's instead.
