Would do but it's raining...!
Pic on first page shows the alloys rim fairly well protected...

And that's the reason why Uniroyal are doing so well in the UK

Would be great if you could if you ever get a moment to do so

I'm using RS3 tyres on my r129 and the rim protection is very substantial. Mine have been on about 1500 miles or so and have no real apparent wear (not measured - just relying on Mk1 eyeball).

Thanks!! much appreciated!

Might give them a go after all, at 2/3 of price of Michelin

I've certainly got no complaints so far.

If I were to take mine on track, or have it solely as a back-road blaster, then I may think differently.

But given mine also has to be secure & comfortable for quite long journeys, then these score well as all-rounders.

And are very secure in the wet...!!!

PS. They also have quite a high silicon content apparently, so should fare reasonably well as temperatures drop a little too... not saying they're a substitute for winter or all-season tyres! I've no experience of them however as put winter Dunlops on.

And they have a cool shark on them!

Mine to, really impressed and in the wet they are incredible

I'm essentially looking for something with the best grip, both in the wet & the dry. I'm happy with the Michelin, but wondering if there's something better out there.

 

[Rotorhead500]

Michies will nudge them in the dry, I'm certain (based on the Pilot Sports I had on a Scooby a while back).

These really are good at displacing water!

I wouldn't want to be following me in the wet, the amount of spray is incredible such is the water displaced

Not worried, with the amount of Sonax on it, it pretty much stays dry
