Nissan 200sx Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Uniroyal Rainsport 2 given 87% (225-50-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
Excellet tyre, I'd heartily recommend them, and wouldn't buy anything else for general driving. Have jsut come back from a trip to the Nurburgring with them, and was very pleased with the progressiveness and grip on a dry track, and impressed by how little wear they seem to have shown. Generally the wear rate is not terrible, but I go through rears quite quickly due to my driving style and an aggressive LSD (and not tyre rotation on staggered tyre sizes).

Wet grip is incredible. I often joke that the tyres are made with Gypsy magic, because they are THAT good, and confidence inspiring like nothing else I've driven.

Their major flaw - due to the tread pattern these are *abysmal* in snow. Like most summer tyres the central V/feather pattern has no horizontal edges for grip, so they are absolutely not recommended! If our snowy winters continue in the UK I'm considering buying some proper winter tyres. That said, in any other conditions these are the only tyre I'd want on my car!

Great tyres, super super sticky in the dry, the best I've ever experienced in gact. also noticeably more comfortable than my last set. I have these on two of my cars I like then so much. Only down side is wet weather behavior. A little bit of rain is no issue, but I've had some aquaplaning on standaning water at over 60mph in torrential conditions, but as long as you drive accordingly they are super.

Had a set of these through work, wasn't expecting too much, but have found them to be much better in the dry AND wet than the previous F1's.
Was warned they may be rather soft and wear quickly but haven't seen much of that yet, still look almost as good as new.

Driving on mostly country roads for 13000 average miles
I got these as a replacement for the P-Zero nero's i previously had on the back of my 200sx. They have lasted 13'000 miles of mainly nation speed limit a and b roads. they have never missed a beat and are by far as goods as T1r's.

They impressed me in the snow too, they stood up to 50 miles a day of snow covered country roads, the only issue was the were useless at reversing in the snow.

Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 spirited miles
Good dry grip and great traction out of turns. I find the tyre likes to sit up on it's sidewall mid corner and exit. Excellent wet grip you can go nearly as fast as in the dry. They are a bit noisy at high speed. On prolonged high speed runs the tyre can overheat and subsequently lose grip. These tyres work best when cold and during cold conditions. Wear is reasonable but not great if you like to drive hard everyday. Overall an excellent tyre.

Driving on mostly town for 15000 average miles
The 512 is a pretty good all round tyre. It seems to be wearing really well and is quite quiet.

Great for the price though I fancy trying something grippier next like a Toyo T1R.

I was very unipressed with this tyre. It grips very well in the dry, but in the wet I only found the grip to be average. It also does not like stsnding water, with straight line aquaplaning felt on the motorway at 70mph even when new. Turn in is quite imprecise and it wears quite fast.
Tyre is fair value but there are better tyres around for similar money.
