This is the second set of these i have had on my passat, i'm not running huge horsepower (230bhp) and these grip fine, even though my suspension has been lowered over 100mm, a bit slippy in the wet, but i don't really notice as i don't drive like an animal in the rain, many people don't like them, i do, always have, and i'll buy them again.

Writing about the Uniroyal Rainsport 2 given 71% (205-55-16-W)
Driving on mostly town for 10680 spirited miles
Well had four new rain sports 2 tires for roughly 2 years on my golf gti 150bhp car, I've done 10680k on them, the two back tires almost look new with hardly any wear, which a bit confusing why this is? But the fronts don't have much life left in them maybe 11k? I do agree with some of the comments tires/steering do feel a little boaty, and the tires are a little noisy, my exeperience in snow was bad but then my tracking was not correct and car could not grip, which are my only negatives. The positives are the grip in wet inspires confidence to drive fast or cruise at speed, in the dry tires are good to. My driving style is racer boy ish Michael schmacker style acelerating hard an fast around corners, quick starts from traffic lights to 30mph with good grip by the law of course lol bearing in mind my car is fwd drive car, so the tires have coped well with me and I will replace the front two most probabely with rain sport 2's again as I do not want to spend £146 Each on a good year or mitchiln I think the rain sports are value for money roughly £76 each tire considering the performance you get.
