650rob Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Another question from the uneducated! The boots on the front are going to need replacing on my deck. I've got Uniroyal rainsport 2's at the moment. I've been offered 2x Hankook Ventus v12 (i believe) for £200 inc fitting, tracking, valve etc through new life tyres - Is this a good deal? The rainsports are 205 45 ZR R 16. Or should I go for Proxes: 170932504492 for £150. Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated as I'm pretty skint but don't want to buy cheap buy twice sorta thing. I'm near Edinburgh if there are any recommendations.Cheers folks!Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 i've been using rainsports for a few years now and can't really fault them apart from wear. had toyos before them, but haven't looked back after trying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmb6vti Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I had proxes on mines amazing dry grip but wear quick maybe cause of my driving lol. Not heard anything bad about rainsports. You should check out black circles for fitting near you. I'm also in East Lothian so Howdy.Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
650rob Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Aye the rainsports are really good tyres Broon, just they are near enough £100 a boot. If you know of any cheaper let me know!Hiya Sean, will probably use New Life in Niddrie as the bloke did a quality job refurbing and painting my alloys.

650rob Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 I managed to get them for £75 each which isn't too bad considering I needed them to match the rears. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
