    Hi all. I have a road trip to France coming up in 5 weeks and will be doing approx 3k km. I have 2 tyres which are probably due a change. Should I be thinking about getting them as soon as possible? Do you need to 'wear' new tyres in gradually or will an 800km journey be ok on a brand new tyre? Thanks

    Change them now and take it handy for the first hundred km, this will make sure that the releasing agents are worn off so you are gripping the road with rubber not soap.

    If in doubt, change those tyres. No point risking your car/life over a few tyres, especially that far away from home

    Would the Uniroyal rainsport 3 tyre be any good?

    Grand so, that's good enough for me. 2 for 250.

    I have 2 rainsport3 and 2 rainsport2 I find the new ones much better and will soon have all 4 the same as the ones that were on the front are well past it at this stage.
