Delboy let us know how you find them. I'm looking at super sports as well for the 19" rs6 wheels. Good to hear they have proper rim protector. I had PS3's previously which had good sized protector as well.

Apols for my tardy response. Here's where to find the data on all new tyres

You got a great price on your Super Sports

Has anyone any experience with Uniroyal Rainsport 3's, Vredestein Sessanta or Goodyear F1 Assymetric in this size?

I've got Vredestein Sessanta's (275/35/20) on my D2 wheels, I found them good value and they were very good in terms of performance during the few thousand miles I drove on them. I'll be trying them on the S8 soon when I get my wheels refurbished.

Ok, thanks. I currently have 19" Vorti's on my wheels and they have been great, not sure of the differences just.

I know this is a D3 thread, but I have Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's (Asymmetric) on my D2 S8 - 18's.
On my PF S8 I tried various tyres over the years and preferred Conti's slightly over the others, again 18's.

Not sure why but I normally prefer asymmetric over rotational.
