   dont know how many of you have tried these, but wow!
   
   dry grip so far has been faultless... and wet grip is something else!

   i had hankook ventus k102's which to be fair were pretty good, but they were quite worn before i replaced them
   
   the ride seems slightly softer on the uniroyal's but thats again probably cause they're new compared to the old ones

   i just dont rate them that well, i used yoko avs sports and they were so much better all round. Then again i am putting a wee bit of power through them

    Like R888s with tons of grip
    
    Ive run decent tyres and the uniroyals, they are not a bad tyre tbh, ive driven cars with alot worse, didnt have any major issues other than melting a brand new one on a track day.

    Yeah they won't be a patch on R888s, because they're designed for different things. You're not comparing like-for-like there

    Of course, but for road work they are good. Just saying i've personally used them on track and they do well for a road tyre, but are no where near the a track tyre (obviously)
