I put Rainsport 3's on my ZT 180 auto shortly after acquiring it nearly four years ago following recommendations on here. I think they suit the car well performance wise and are a reasonable compromise between cost and longevity. My wife runs a Vauxhall Astra Sports Hatch which has almost the same size wheels as the ZT (40 profile instead of 45) and I forked out for Michelin Cross Climates on that two years ago. It's a smaller and lighter car but I've been very impressed with them - they wear much more slowly than the Rainsports but still seem to have as much grip. Only trade off is a noticeably harsher ride, but you get used to it and the "point and squirt" driving style they give you can be fun.

When I bought my ZT190 it was fitted with Landsail tyres from Thailand.
Initially I planned on replacing them but I am quite impressed with their performance and am going to keep them on the car

I'd never heard of them, and these where ( and still are ) on my ZS from when I bought it 5 years ago.

Most importantly get 45 profile tyres some people go for 40 profile and they are awful, I have roadstone/nexen and I am really happy with them for grip in wet and dry.

The exhaust noise on my ZT is loud enough that road noise isn't an issue!

I'm now down to rainsport 5 or rainsport 3 I think.
Got rainsport 3 on the 75 after a close encounter with a kerb going round a island at around 20mph and the back end didn't want to follow the front . |
