Thanks for the feedback, I kind of talked myself out of the AD08r's, I really need a bit more of an all rounder. Going to go for the uniroyal rs3's from camskill £254 delivered (price is changing daily) and get them fitted locally somewhere...

I have done, paid for and booked into get fitted this weekend (kwikfit code is still working) £293 fitted for the goodyears. Will maybe try rainsport 3's next time but thought the offer on the goodyears was too good to turn down.

Enter bfkf20 for 20% off 4 premium tyres or bfkf10 for 10% off 2 premium tyres at the checkout (in the apply coupon bit). It was there black friday/cyber monday offer but still worked for me still earlier tonight. You need to select the fitting centre and reserve a time slot (although nothing is actually booked in till you pay for them) before you get a chance to apply the code and see what the actual cost is, bit of a faff but worth it.

But remember it is a summer tire .
At 7 deg or less its time to think about silca compounds , as used in winter / all year tires.

Got the Yokohama fitted on Monday feel like a quality tyre . Not driven hard with them on as I've heard they can be a handful in the wet . Ordered the rainsports tonight will be putting them on my spare wheels next week.

Rainsports for Christmas
Glad to see you taking the advice, even I feel these days like the ghost of Christmas past,
All you need now is a break in the rain to be able to fit them

I had AD08Rs 225/45/18s on the Legacy - I really liked them - but yes did notice that I felt I had to be a little bit more careful in the downpours...
I just fitted some Michelin PS4s since I couldn't get the Yokos at a reasonable price at the time and the PS4s get great reviews... I also got some Conti TS860s winters 225/50/17 on my 17"s for the first time ever - noticeably softer.
Also have some Bridgestone RE070s 215/45/17 (I think) on some 17" that I bought to get me through fitting Brembos - had them on a couple of track days - they felt very grippy... unfortunately wrong tyre size for Leggy so I didn't run them much...

RE070s are on these 17" ZCW wheels in pretty good nick, plenty of tread...
Got them from Brian at CAMS Performance for £500 - would let them move on for £400 + P&P...

I am a fan of Michelin tyres but have found the PS3 not a performance tyre. The PS2 and PSS that I've tried have been great though.
I've used Contis TS860 in a RWD BMW during winter and they've been great on snow.
