uniroyal rainsports are good in the wet, probably hence the name.

I've got these on the bus. Best tyre I have ever had. Used to spin up in 1st, 2nd and 3rd with the Falkens, can now get pretty decent traction (albeit in the dry) in 1st gear and no probs with 2nd..

Parada's are fantastic tyres! Not great in the wet but thats the trade off you get from having an Awesome dry tyre.

One more thing to remember about the Parada's is that they are a very soft compound so don't last that long!! Probably softer than the Toyo's and that's saying something

Got the new Proxies and rate them highly! Hardly wear at all and find them very good in the dry and more than adequate in the wet. Good tread pattern and £95 for two inc postage

Goodyear are really good, but expensive, my mate went through a set only lasted him 4000miles on a vec 1.8

Toyos FTW grip, price, and last a good time.
