Cross Climates are getting rave reviews right now, I've been asking around here and on other forums. I want a set. Not entirely sure what sizes they're available in. Maybe when my current tyres wear down...

Edit: Seems they don't do tyres bigger than 17".

I put 4 new Rainsport3s on the M3 the day before the buyer collected it.

Now, I only drove it for about 50 miles on these tyres, but it was a warm dry sunny day and I've never known the M3 feel so 'slippy', the DSC light was getting lit up leaving almost every roundabout.

It's likely that they just needing wearing in to get rid of the new shininess (for want of a better word), but that I've never known new tyres quite that bad so I won't be putting these on any other cars.

The Michelin Pilot Sports we had on the previous Mini were great though, new Mini just arrived came with Pirellis but I've not driven this car enough to judge the tyres.
