I had uni royal rainsport 2s on the car before, but tbh was unimpressed and BOTH punctured very easily (maybe just my luck ??)nitin_s1 wrote:UniJizz Royals are really good. Everyone rates them..




its just with upping the power and the smaller wheels just seeing what else is rated

You probably didn't have the XL stiffened side wall version. RainSport 3's are out now, try them.

I've had experience of both RainSport2's and T1-R's and rate them both. Although found RS2's obviously much better in the wet and still great in the dry, so would consider them better as an alrounder.andyconnolly wrote:I had uni royal rainsport 2s on the car before, but tbh was unimpressed and BOTH punctured very easily (maybe just my luck ??)nitin_s1 wrote:UniJizz Royals are really good.

but they did wear down quite quickly
.....running falken 452's just now and seem to be ok most of the time...a little dodgey when it gets rather wet but you got to love a wee slide now and again

Falkens I've only heard horror stories about. There's a reason they're favourites among drifters

Took a wee look there for the 3's but no stock in the size I need

Re: andyconnollys '98 S-Spec
How easy is it to swap intake mani's over and throttle body while the engine is still in the car ? And how long would it take ?
