I have and I think they are fantastic. I had Michelin’s on the 18 inch wheels and I wasn’t impressed. In damp weather the traction light was always coming on, with rain sport 3’s I have no problems. I’ll definitely be sticking with them :thumbsup:

Thanks, Yorkie! I've had them on other cars and was very impressed, but the cars weren't in the same performance league as the 'M'..

They're OK for a mid range tyre, I had them on for a a few months last year.

Hi Synthedup. What have you got now and how are they different/better than the Uniroyals?

There good enough tyres but don’t wear well. You’ll get half the mileage you’ll get out mps4. :thumbsup:

Im currently using PS4S's, very smooth, amazing grip and silent.

They're the replacement for the PSS.

Just had Uniroyal Rainsport 3 fitted this mornin and initial impression is that the ride quality has improved a LOT and they are much quieter, so much so that a side effect is that the exhaust now sounds better because it’s not being drowned out by tyre noise!
I will have to adjust the pressures (I didn’t even ask what they put in, there will be a thread asking about recommended pressures coming along shortly :roll:) and let them bed in a bit before I give a full response but first impressions are certainly good compared to the standard Bridgestone RFs.

Hi Lazza. Interesting to hear about the road noise/exhaust noise improvement! Thanks for your input!

Hi Kermit. What sort of mileage did you get from the RS3s? Thanks for your input.
