needed 2 new uniroyal rainsports for the corsa (cos they are the best all weather road tyre ever imo)

Most places were quoting £70-80 fitted but found a place that did 2 fitted for £100 including swopping round the front and back wheels and balancing the wheels with the older tyres as well. Then all the lads had a nice chat about the car with me asking what was done with it etc...

so a big reccomendation to C&S tyres in middlesborough

people tend to stick to hyped up brands like toyo and goodyear etc which are good but I have had loads of different brands of tyres na I find the uniroyal rainsports great in the dry and in the wet (when you need maximum grip imo) they are amazing, you can drive as if it was dry!

I was converted to them after being at a track once and it seemed that 99% of the race teams were using them as their wet tyres.
