Am I missing something obvious here but Camskill has these for very cheap compared to blackcircles. I know I'd need someone to fit and balance them but I reckon I could get that done for £20 or so locally. Are they really that bad?

Wrapping PTFE tape round your rims is great for the price, doesn't mean I'd want to rely on it keeping my car on the road  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

If you're looking at spending that kind of money then yes, they're probably the best to go for to be fair to them. Annoying really that no-one makes an R888 for £30 a corner. Except if it's wet. Because then we'd all die. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I think they are a great all round tyre for the price.Have had them in 55 profile and the sidewall flex is obvious. 50 profile is much better and less flex. I currently have them in 45 profile on my 16's and can't fault them at all Yes there are tyres that do a better job in the dry but these are good enough and are also very good in the wet. Thats why I tend to stick with them  I had some Goodyear Eagle NCT5's on a few years back. Dry grip was ok but the wet grip was simply scary!. for a tyre designed for family saloons. They were actually worse than the P6000's they replaced  ________________________________________ My Pugrun 2007/2009 video clipsTake a look Pugrun 2007...Lose yourself  Xbox Live ID: Marksixysix (Forza 3, Forza 4 PES 2010, COD 6/MW2, WRC 2010).

T1-R's are a real budget tyre these days, I'd be more inclined to spend more tbh, no point skimping on rubber, but I guess for the money they are ok.________________________________________ 340 horses |

They're priced like a budget, and for budgets they're not bad. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Rainsports are very good in the wet and dry!BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO GIVE THEM A GOOD 100 OR SO MILES TO BED IN! I thought i had a serious issue with ride and handling at first as it wallowed like a boat, until the top layer wore off, then they were grippy as f*ck! I was told by a tyre place that Michelin Exalto 2's are the best pretty much.......was this chap right? ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

I've got PE2's now, and they're exactly like my previous Conti's I had on before. I had rainsports on my Hyundai before and hated them, but then that was a much heavier car.It's almost like if an amazing tyre existed for the price of a budget then we'd all be running them ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Of all the tyres I've ever bought, PE2's were far superior to any others, fantastic wet or dry, hot or cold, epic tyre IMO.________________________________________ 340 horses |

Can't say I've had a problem with my T1R-s so far, definitely not as good as the old F1s in the wet, but still pretty good considering they're less than 30 quid a piece! All I can say is the 270° M6 lancaster sliproad can be taken at quite some speed, that's for sure  ________________________________________ High boost '6 for weekends406 2.1 Executive for weekdays |
