Uniroyal RS3

[NaplesValver]

So, after doing 200+ miles in the Yorkshire Dales yesterday on the RS3s I can honestly say I may have unfairly judged them.

But only in the wet.

In the dry, not very confidence inspiring, but when it’s raining all day and there is loads of surface water everywhere, these tyres really come into their own.

Not once did they let go, and not once did it enter a corner thinking I wouldn’t have grip. They were outstanding.

However, I still don’t rate them in cold dry conditions!

So exactly what the majority of us have said throughout this thread. Just wear rate to look forward to now, lol.

You are aware of the country you live in right?

No rain today my friend.

So long as it they can take a dry, sweeping bend at 70mph, that's all you need from a road tyre.

Need to be able to put down 800bhp and 1000ft/lbs through the front wheels iirc.

Otherwise they're shite.

-5, black ice everywhere but when I try doing 50 round a roundabout, they don't grip, shite.

Just a word of warning . I've been running RS3's since they were launched so I'm used to a little bit of a squirmy feeling when newly fitted, but love the tyres . Just don't ever run them underinflated . I had a slow puncture last week , ran it for an hour and wondered why the steering felt heavy penmouth: It completely ruined the inside of the tyre , there was a huge pile of powdered rubber in the bottom of tyre when the garage took it off and you could clearly see where it had worn through to the cord. The tyre was new in December and only covered about 1500 miles :anguished:

You'll find that happens on most non-run-flat tyres. That powder will be where your wheel was chopping into the tyre. You'd have the same with a Goodyear, Nankang, General etc.

Still, doesn't make it any less annoying when it happens

Tell me about it . Annoyed as f**k . I'd been driving a wagon all day with ultra light steering , so just put it down to the Clios heavier steering . Only when I got home did I noticed how flat it was . The RS3s are very thin though on the shoulder/ sidewall . You can easily feel your fingers through them if you press on .
Oh well , s**t happens eh.

I have re-evaluated these tyres after the snow.

These things are amazing in the snow! I have managed to drive through the snow without any drama at all and only a couple of really bad bits where I’ve spun the wheels slightly or had a slight lock-up!

Kind of annoys me really as this means I can’t have a ‘snow day’ [emoji23]
