MK1 T-Sport - which summer tyres provide the best all round grip?

[Silver Yaris]

Hi all,

I currently have my full blown winters on at the moment but will need to put my standard wheels & tyres back on soon if it stays as mild as it is.

I currently have Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 185/55 R15 82V but want to replace 2 of them before they go back on the car as they are down to under 3mm.

I don't want to go down the route of cross climate or all season tyres due to having my winters so just really want a good summer tyre that gives good levels of grip in the rain.

The Goodyears's have been good but I was wondering if anyone can recommend anything else or do I stick with what I have?

Cheers

Uniroyal's (both RainExpert and RainSport's) are amazing in the rain. However I used a set of RainExpert 3's in the summer and felt that when you push on, the tyre gets quite hot and wears down really quickly. This is a common thing with these Uniroyals, but I guess that's just a compromise between wet weather grip and degradation in the dry. I've also heard good things about those Goodyear's.

slightly higher profile tested but this may be worth you casting an eye over. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2019-ADAC-Summer-Tyre-Test-185-65-R15.htm
