Volvo S40 1.8SE Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Uniroyal Rainsport 2 given 93% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles

I've been used to Pirrelli P6000 and Goodyear NCT5 prior to trying the Rainsport 2 and I am so won over that I am going to bin my new Pirrellis on the rear and fit two new Rainsport 2's as this tyre is highly underated.
Wet grip is better than I could ever have expected and very similar in dry.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU31 given 33% (205-50-15-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles

I have had these tyres on my Volvo s40 1.8 for about 5000miles and i can't compliment them in anyway! the reviews I read on these before buying them were excellent but now that I have them on and they are worn in they are shocking!!! they constantly spin and I'm not an aggressive driver and going round bends they might as well be bald! the back end always goes out and they can't handle the car at all they under-steer like hell. much preferred my Goodyear hydra grips. really wouldn't recommend this to anyone with a decent size car!
