Looks a good deal for anyone who requires tyres. might have other sizes as well.

These tyres are good for a budget, mid range tyre on your daily driver, but i would not be putting them on a TVR.

And yet we’ve seen them perform really well on TDs.

A good tyre a bit like a good set up gives you fair warning your coming to the end of useable grip and the mild vibration Rainsport offer back to the driver when the tyres start to slide becomes a great tool in itself.
Getting them to slide in the first place takes some driving on public roads.
Very soft and will wear quickly compared to others but a great tyre match for our light cars imho.

No issue with them aside from wear when i used them some years ago on a daily at the time, but now they are a 5 year old design on a 5 year old compound.

For my money you could get premium tyres instead of mid range that are a newer design with better performance. A quick example would be the new Goodyear Asym 5 which you could get for £20 a corner more, at that size, and would last considerably longer.

All i am saying is that i don't see the point in buying budget tyres for a sports car when it makes such an enormous difference in how it drives and can be driven.
