Uniroyal Rainsport 3. Any experience on the Omega?
« on: 19 April 2016, 18:56:31 »
As above. Size 225/55/16

I've been informed I can get these silly cheap from tyre supplier.

I have 4 new tyres on at the moment but they are budget shite and if I'm honest the noise of them is getting on my wick. They're BCT S600's if anyone is interested. The noise is as if I have bad wheel bearings! I've checked. And the bearings are good. And I've read online other people complaining about the same noise.

Anyway. So these Rainsports. Discuss.

Ps got a lad at work who says they're excellent but he has a hot hatch. Wondered if this will be the case on the boat like omega

They're excellent on my Smart Roadster, can't fault them & can't make them break away, even in the wet .... but it's half the weight of an Omega

When your bum is only inches from the floor a Smart Roadster isn't exactly quiet anyway  ;) ;)

Best person to ask is DrAndyB as he has them on his Omega.

It's a tyre I've been considering as well for when we get nearer the autumn.

For a comparable weight of car (albeit quicker and other wheel drive), I had them on my last 9-5 aero. Worked very well. Can highly recommend them.  :y

That must have been many moons ago? Maybe changed since then  :-\

I've had them on the 2.2 since 2012, super happy with them. Got them on both of them now.

Have them on the rear of the estate now. Again good tyres for the money.
