Rainsports aren't being made anymore, so buy them up while you can if you like them

i had these on my astra, are a relatively soft tread so do wear quite quickly, shit hot in the dry...gets a bit hairy in the wet but if your sticking to speedlimits etc theres no problem, i loved them but over 100miles a month was just eating them lol
