Looking for some new tyres for the rallye, got a set of superlegs so want some goodish tyres for fast road and some trackdays! Mostly road use....
All tyres at 195/50/15
Maxxis MA Z1 Victra?? (price £33.20)
Any feed back on these looks on Google and god reviews?
Uniroyals rainsport 2?? (price £38.60)
Goodish reviews but mixed really?
Goodyears eagle f1?? (price £52.00)
Same as uniroyals really mixed?
From what ive seen it looks like the maxxis is the best tyre as grip,wet grip and all rounder? plus its the cheapest witch is hard to believe?

I've had the Uniroyals (just got a pair 2 weeks ago) and had the Eagle F1's in the past.
The Eagle F1's were slightly superiour, although only just. However when they get low on tread, 3mm or less they become pretty lively!
I'd go for the Uniroyals, as they're cheaper and offer almost the same grip (possibly) for longer.

Uniroyals, on par with Eagle F1s but the Uniroyals last a lot longer and are cheaper.

Gonna be another vote for the Uniroyals from me. Best tyre for the money i've had anyway.

i hate the uniroyals with a passion. very very vague handling and the grip isnt overly impressive. far happier with my kumhos

I loved my old Rainsport 2s. I've swapped to Parada Spec 2s, and I hate them, my car feels as though it's floating, feedback on turn in has pretty much disappeared.

I had rainsports, where ok but nothing to shout about, when they give up there quite forgiving though which is nice

I have eagle f1's atm and they are good in the dry but in the wet they are pretty poor. And now they are lower on tread they are pretty crap! In the wet they are just dangerous and the stopping distance sucks!!
Had good experiences with falken ze912
Also could try some Marangoni zeta's my friend had them on his alfa 147 GTA and his vts and swears by them! Said they were the only tyres on the GTA that could give enough grip in the dry to stop it spinning up (he previously had eagle f1's and toyo proxes on it)
Also the maxxis MA Z1's are good but not for what you want! Friend has recently got a set on his 3 series said they are good...for drifting lol

I would go for the Rainsport 2's, they are a good tyre and better in the wet. They are what i am going for next

had the maxxis on the sax for a while they are veryt easy to get a four wheel slide going if it was my money i would be going for the falcons or a set of yokos but its all down to personal prefrence and trying them out for yourself....
