I'm quite impressed by the Falken 510s I put on our 230. Sadly I think they've gone up a far bit in price since then.

For mid price tyres I'd look at the Falkens mentioned previously or Kumho's

Try sites like Tyreleader or Camskill for good prices

Good selection here including Bridgestone, Pirelli, Continental or Michelin. The SL deserves something decent on the rears

Nice to know. I have just put four on my SL, £96 each fitted.

They seem softer than the Michelin Primacy’s that it had, though they have lasted well. 6 years, 30k and still 4mm but cracks beginning to appear.

look on the sites mentioned above, there are lots to choose from also based on fuel rating, wet grip resistance, noise, OE, price etc etc

Then call a few local places and ask them the price. sometimes I have found a price on black circles, fitted at my local place , cheaper than the locals own supply chain and vice versa.

There the rain sport 5,surposed to be slightly better than the 3,looked at reviews and most say one of the best tyres in the wet,I could have gone for Goodyear ones for a few squids more but I have personal reason why I won’t buy anything Goodyear, I’m not a boy racer so these should be more than good enough

Plenty of people on here really rate the Rainsports so you have made a good investment

Let us know how you get on. I am on the older RS3's, would be interested how you get on with the 5's.
