I had two of these Uniroyal Rain Sport 3s on the front axle of my Mondeo ST220. I'd had to replace the fronts, but the Michelins on the rear still had about 5mm left, so there was no reason to change them.
Just outside where I work, there had been trucks parked all day doing roadworks. I was driving home and hit a patch of diesel. The Uniroyals on the front gripped through it, but the back end decided it wanted to lead from the front. I ended up in the barriers and the car was a write off.
Good tyres in the wet and slippy, those Rainsport 3s.
I ran Hankooks (Korean) on the S-Max before I bought the S8. The S-Max needed an XL tyre, and they were very reasonably priced, and decent enough. Good wear rate and grip. Those were 18" - they definitely don't do them for 20" wheels though.
