I have a set of 4 Uniroyal 680's 'The Rain Tyre' on a classic Triumph, and I have agree - Uniroyals are a very good and quite an underrated tyre.

After buying my first 3.2 Omega in 2004, I used Dunlops, Goodyears, Hankooks and Michelins on it (I was doing highish mileages at that time). I can't remember what it had on it when I got it, but the Michelins I had fitted were by far the best tyre for me.
My Audi had Pirelli P Zero Rossos from new (which were true 'ditchfinders'), before reverting to Michelins. The Michelins are far superior in handling, wear, feel, and road noise.............

I agree with all of the above. I will never buy Pirelli tyres ever again after my experience of them. My Audi A6 Avant left the factory with Bridgestone Potenza tyres, which I binned for Michelin PS 4S. It totally transformed the car in the way described above.  :y

depends on if your car identifies as male or female
also, that's a bit NON PC
there are many "other" colours of antifreeze because "diversity"  ;D
all but 1 of my fleet are female
one is male because i had a glut of blue antifreeze at the time ,so "Jeremy" is male  :P

That's probably over tyred for an Acclaim. The horse at the end of the road is shod with metal... Cheap and lasts for ages.

Pink suits the RRS. The Alabama Mumsybus uses orange because it can.

Standard  Plod tyre was the Excellence that preceded it. Capable tyre but struggle to last much past 12k of you drive it :y

None of the ones I had fitted were run flats, nor should they have been on the Omega  ;)

I hadn't considered the load rating tbh. That car always had XL tyres, so perhaps it always felt normal  :y
