I’ve used these tyres before and would buy more. Excellent grip and last well as they don’t particularly like pot holes.

Tyres are performing well so far, price wise it’s hard too see why you’d bother buying any of the ‘premium brands’.

I purchased these tyres, Uniroyal rain tyre, based on youtube views and also buyer reviews and i was sceptical at first but after replacing the Michellins that were fitted i can honestly confirm that these Uniroyals are vastly better than the Michellins in both dry and particularly in rain to the point that the wet grip is almost as good as dry grip even when driving a little spirited. I will probably change the Wifes tyres from the Toyo's fitted to Uniroyals in the future.
