    Uniroyal rain tyres are my favourite

    I think falkens last pretty well had mine on the car for about 20k and they still have a fair bit of tread left to go

    if your after value for money and rock hard tyres mate that do the job, get some nankangs. people knock them for being shite in the rain but their not bad at all, they slip a bit but they last a lifetime and if ya dicking about in heavy rain on cheap tyres then ya deserve to crash lol. ive had four fitted to my car for the past 7000 miles, i smoke the wheels atleast once or twice a week and love my handbrake aswell (mwahaha) and they still look brand new. they grip really good in the dry and at £36 per tyre fitted and balanced, who's complaining?
