I think people on here generally rate the toyo's in the dry, but not the wet, whereas rainsports rated in the wet and as general all round? (not tried the rainsports myself)

Tried both
if your getting the rainsports then get them with xl sidewalls
decent all round tyre but the toyos are better handling in the dry imo great tyre but drops off dramatically in the wet when tread wears to 5mm approx.
i recently bought some bridgestone potenzas and they are definately worth thinking about and probably the tyre i would buy again out of the three - but ive only had them about a year so cant say on wear rate etc

I had Bridgestone Potenzas on a Vectra C and they were fantastic, good grip and lasted for 25,000 on the front wheels.vanzep wrote:Tried both![]()
