Neither do I, but it was ridiculous earlier, coming off roundabouts the front was stepping out all over the place, I wasn't driving hard, the weather wasn't up to it.

I remember them being a bit crap when I had them on my Corsa, but I'm sure they weren't as bad as this.

Anyone else have them and find them shocking in the wet?


I got them in 215/35/19 on my Vectra and they seem pretty good. Traction control has been coming on a bit but it is a GSi and it has been a bit damp

I must admit the yokos on my saxo felt better. But then my saxo was on its ass and didn't have a 2.5 v6 lump in the front!

I have Those tires on the Xsara. Havent noticed them being shite yet.

My mate had Toyo Baldys (Proxys) on his Polo and they lasted 3000 miles He now has Nangkangs which he swears by.

I still agree with the fact the Rainsports are the best all round tires
