Great value tires. Running these on the rear of my rs4 for 11months and although you can provoke the traction control to cut in you need to push it hard. Liked so much replacing the Toyo proxies sp1 on the front with these tires.

I put 2of these on the front of my Passat and they were fine, in wet and dry, 3 months later went to France, and the long and short of it was I scuffed a kerb, ther was a piece of drainage metal that had a jagged edge protruding out from the kerb which ripped a whole in the side wall,the tire was wrecked. I could not get a new rainsport tire and hence had to replace both tires on the front, a rel shame as only 3 months old.

Since replacing the fronts to westlake sa05, not the best tire, my fuel economy has markedly improved, Im surprised no one else has mentioned this aspect of the rainsport - having a negative effect on fuel economy, in my case with just 2 rainsport tires fitted on the front I lost about 10 miles per gallon.

Best tire I have ever fitted to my car, I had P6000's on the car last, they were very good, but the Kumho's are better, and the wear I have experienced in the last 2000 miles is minimal.
Will be 100% fitting these tires again.

Just bought another set of these tires for me car after loving the previous set. Really can't fault them at all and they're a lot better than a number of the Bridgestone, Goodyear and Michelin's I've had before!
