I think those Rainsports owe a fair bit to the tastier Michelin Pilot Sports as opposed to the low rolling resistance ones we get lumbered with... Michelin - France Worlds number one tyre manufacturer. Own the brands Michelin, BF Goodrich, Kleber, Uniroyal* and Riken. Continental - Germany Owns Continental, Uniroyal*, General Tyre, Gislaved and Semperit. * To add to confusion Uniroyal is Continental owned in Europe and Michelin owned in USA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Duff 79 Report post Posted June 12, 2016 I've been very happy with my Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2's (wet grip was more than enough to tempt me to keep them on all over the very mild winter rather than swapping to my Yoko winters that I use the year before), but there are some new versions out of a number of highly regarded performance tyres this year that may make some decisions now a little harder - the Conti SC 6, the Eagle F1 AS3, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4...

I'm on the lookout for some practical tyres that are fun on the road and can take a 20 minute session on track without going off.. I was able to get plenty of oversteer on mine yesterday on a dry track, not a problem at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wait until you try some decent tyres then. I had Asy2's for a couple of years as they seemed pretty good, especially when new. They wore out very quickly though - 6,000 miles rears, maybe 8-10,000 fronts. Yokohamas have been excellent - enough grip esp. in the wet and are lasting way better.
