Well that's foiled that idea then! I thought those Hydragrips were winter tyres. I would alos have thought that the Rainsports (Uniroyals) were winter tyres. My CLK55 actually had those on briefly when I got it, and they are possibly the worst tyre I ever drove on.
Well, there are plenty of other reviews on the web, they can't test everything I suppose!
The Rainsports & Hydragrips are summer tyres with a wet weather tread pattern. If you live in a wet climate they may be better than other summer tyres. Winter tyres, or cold weather tyres, will have the snowflake in the mountain symbol on the sidewall to show they meet the criteria for use on snow and ice. Snowflake on the mountain symbol replaces the old M+S symbol on winter tyres.
