I've recently bought a second hand set of these too plus I had a pair on my mk5 a couple of years ago.

They're okay, rated as good all rounders but wear quite quickly. I'm no tyre anorak like some of the guys in here, but I think they're decent enough tyres, I'd hate to buy a brand new set at current prices though!!

We could do with a few more details:
What do you want to know about them?
What size are they? etc etc

well currently i have uniroyal rainsport 2's on the front and hankook on the back. then hankooks are wearing and i thought i could put them on the front for a month or two and when they are low swap them for the others, which will save me money in the long run if i buy some now for that price. they are 225/40/18. I dont drive the car that often as i have a work van so wear isnt a great problem. Just require good grip levels in the wet and dry.

So you want to buy them off your brother? For £130 snap 'em up! Just make sure they don't have any puncture repairs.
In fact for £130 I'd buy 'em if you don't want them.  :grin: And I don't even have any wheels to fit them on (yet, but looking!)....... :smiley:
