try 215... sometimes they're cheaper than 205
one negative about Rainsports 2's are they pick up small stones so bloody easy.. worst tyres i've owned for that.. but i still like them.

And the uber soft sponge sidewalls. Thats why i like the AD08s. But wet performance of the rainsports is jizztastic.stk prelude wrote:try 215... sometimes they're cheaper than 205one negative about Rainsports 2's are they pick up small stones so bloody easy.. worst tyres i've owned for that.. but i still like them.

I'm running Yoko Advan Sports. Not really done enough miles (Or more importantly tried any other tyres on the Prelude) to give a confident comment but they seem to have very good lateral grip and not be too snatchy on breakaway (Although I suspect others might be smoother still). The stiff sidewalls seem to assist good turn in. Feel is still pretty good. They're noisy, but personally I don't care about that. Good tyres.

I ran some Yokohama A520 briefly while on 17" rims. They are quite noisy but felt really sure-footed.
Don't even consider them if you are likely to drive with them in the winter though. They are absolutely lethal in the snow / slush! I've gone back onto my 16"s temporarily until the weather improves.

Pirelli P Zero Assimetricos are the best I've had on the Lude. Expensive tho

The JDM came with a set of Pirelli P6000's on - have to say they were amazing, despite being old/cracked.
Definitely better than the Michelin's on the UKDM.
(Neither are cheap though unfortunately)
