You should check Tyreleader

Never late for work, thanks to these tyres

I got these tyres the other week 225/40/18 on the camskill offer. Excellent tyre in the wet, very quiet compared to my previous Dunlop sport max. Can't recommend them enough.

How are they in the dry ? I don't understand some of the reviews... Uniroyal seem to have a great reputation in the wet from drivers yet in the magazine reviews tyres like Goodyear Efficient Grip, Dunlop Bluresponse put them ahead both in wet and dry... are they protecting their advertising revenue?

I have them in 225/40/18 and they're ok in the wet, but not what I'd call brilliant.
In the dry they're a bit better but I can't see them lasting more than 10-15k miles on the front and my boy racers days are behind me.

The only problem with these are the sidewalls are fairly soft. Perfectly fine for the magority of people, but for those of us who like to take the occasional corner quickly, not so much.

Still recommend these though.

Had some 185/45/16 fitted a week ago and I am very impressed with them

Excellent tyre and it is always worth paying for premium brands rather than fitting rubbish Chinese ditch finders.

Any deals on 4x4 tyres. i am looking for 265/70/15R/112T

Good deal

I recently got four of these tyres fitted. In 3 months my wife has managed to get two punctures on the sidewall whilst parking and a further large gouge out of a tyre on the sidewall. Some people may mention my wifes parking but in the the same car in Michelin tyres this never happened in 3.5 years.
Very disappointed.

What about the Avon? £48 with the code!!

Great tyres awful garage. Don't expect them to actually be there when you arrive for your appointment.

Go for it great tyres been around for a long while british made ive listed them before from AA tyres.

Had a couple of pairs of these on the front of my Mondeo and they didn't last over 8k.
Other brands including Falken, Khumo and Avon lasted 12-14k. They are excellent in the wet but a fast wear rate it the compromise you get with soft rubber compound.
The Avon ZV 5 I have used recent seem to be the best compromise between grip, wear rate and price.

Got RS3's on my AWD Impreza. Lasted very well during this winter, and are just fine on the dry days so far. Good value tyres.

Thanks for the warning. If the side wall of a tyre is that weak it makes it a low quality tyre in my book.

Same here, wife had a pair fitted to the front and barely lasted 8k. Now on a pair of similarly priced Falkens and impressed so far in the wet. Wear yet to be determined.

Got these in different size 2 weeks ago, replaced rainsport 2's, so far impressed, and never had any issues with f1 before always been good

I'm sure that's just the local F1 close to you.
However I have had first class service at the Swindon branch.
And continue to give them my business as a result of this .
I find it hard to trust garages, because most of them try to make out something is broken or worn on your car for extra business. I have never had babbling BS from F1 and feel like I'm leaving my car in honest hands there, I can't speak for all F1 auto centres but Swindon branch, never had a problem and great prices too

for all those saying the sidewalls are crap, yeah there are better tyres out there for sidewall strength but these arw ALOT better than the previous rainsport 2s..

it seems that everyone has 205 tyres

I ran a set of these last spring/summer from new before put my winters on in size 225/45/17. Did 8k on them in that time and just about reaching 6mm on the rears (rear wheel drive) so no issues from me for wear or sidewall damage. I'll be putting them back on this week and expect to last me the summer easily.

Great tyres, you can drive like you have stolen it and that's with a remapped car and no issues with side walls just loads of grip wet or dry. As for the milage I have no idea as I have done only around 2k .

Wow! Talk about touching a nerve!. Work for Uniroyal by any chance?

I only said these tyres are known for soft sidewalls - you decided it must be wife who trashed the tyres. You didn't see anything but made a verdict... it's so easy to be a judge

Excellent grip wet or dry. A bit soft in the sidewall but I put a couple more psi in the fronts and seems to compensate well.
Wet grip deteriorates with wear but still good when damp, not great when saturated or loads of standing water.
wear is OK so far

Whatever you say but the wife trashed the tyres by her driving, never seen a tyre commit suicide before !
