Uniroyal Rainsport 3

Recommendable tyres, especially for wet weather for which these were eventually created. Good grip on dry and wet asphalt. They’re relatively quiet. On the previous generation I’ve driven even in winter, I had a problem only on the ice, but for these conditions you need chains or spikes. The only downside for me is that when I’m abroad where you can drive faster than 86mph, when I get to 100/105mph the wells and the steering wheel gently vibrate. I hadn’t had this experience on Bridgestone Turanza ER 300 that I’ve had before. The grooves in the tread are large so stones enter them and strike while driving. That’s why I noted that Uniroyal isn’t a premium tyre but a bit lower class abut quality is much higher than the butget tyres so I would say it is in the middle class. When it comes to consumption, I’m driving on them only one season. So far I have not noticed any consumption of the tyre. The appearance of the tyres is cool, although for me it’s important for the tyre to be good in all conditions not to look good. However if the looks is important for you, I don’t think you’ll hesitate to buy Uniroyal, the looks should’ t disappoint you. For car as mine this tyre is good, but for strong BMW or Mercedes I would rather buy something from the premium class. In summary, if you can afford to pay for a set of high performance tyres or if you have a fast car, buy something better (unless you’re driving mostly around the city, then this tyre will be great). But if you look forward to purchase a set of tyres from a middle shelf, for me the Uniroyal is the best choice. Read more Collapse

The biggest negative of my previous tyres Contisport3 was an amazing sensitivity to the holes in the ground (it wanted to snatch the hands off the wheel) and a high resistance to the managing the steering wheel. Uniroyal solved these problems. I almost couldn’t feel any resistance on the steering wheel, and the resistance is comparable to the behavior of the tyres with the width of 205 on dry which is actually typical for this tyre brand. The tyre has a soft shoulder that may be experienced during fast driving, but does not interfere with the normal operation and comfort. On a rain the tyre is brilliant, which is not surprising in case of this tyre brand. This tyre is considered the inventory of the rain tyres. On the highway in Croatia the biggest rain caught me. I’ve never seen such rain in my life. Despite the fact that the wipers couldn’t deal with it, and that the river flowed on the road, I was able to go boldly with the speed 70-75mph without risking anything. Tyre has never lost contact with the road. Falling in puddles feels like the car slows down but the tyres would ideally remove water from under the wheels. For them, there is no aquaplaning. I came back home on these tyres in one piece. On worn conti this could end badly. I do not know how sustainability is, but if it bearable I think I found the perfect tyre. Read more Collapse

These tyres are available for a very cool price. I’ve ordered them as my brother recommended them to me. He has them in the 17” version and is also happy with the purchase. The tyres feel no difference whether it is dry or wet, even at speeds of 75-85mph, behind the car there is only a cloud. They’re a bit loud but apparently for this tread shape it’s normal. Certainly it may be a fault of the old bearings. Noise is not a big deal, but you can hear the tires a little. Surely it also depends on the car and its noise suppression. I drove over there and the 10k and it still looks very good, apart from some glass cuts or cuts caused by sharp stones, there is no sign of use. So far no flat tyre and no falling into a hole damaged the tyre. On my crooked alloy wheels I finally managed to somehow normally balance the tyres. Previous tyres I had were the budget tyres that they did not work at all. I recommend buying new tyres that will last you few years that some used once that you have to buy every year and then they go to bin. Compared to sport tyres that a colleague of mine has but had less miles than mine - my looks like you have never used them. I recommend this model although with no doubt Uniroyal has other equally successful models. Read more Collapse

Currently I use the second set of these tyre of the summer season. I am very happy with them. Driving in the rain is actually reliable, confident, but let's face it, nothing is impossible. When the braking is done repeatedly the car can swim but while driving it's great. On a dry surfaces it sticks to the ground well. In general the rubber is soft and you feel it at higher speeds. The driving is comfortable. Sometimes, in a fast turn the car slips, but that's how it is with these front-wheel drive. To summarize, it's a brilliant tyre for draining water. Tyres provide a secure grip on dry and wet roads and confidence (it feels the same in both conditions). I don't have to be limited when the asphalt is wet. I'll also add that in winter I also use the Uniroyal tyres. Read more Collapse

Tyres in general are good. I confirm all good opinions about traction, hold, etc. These tyres are incredibly soft. On one hand, it’s improving the driving experience because they suppress inequalities. On the other hand, they are exposed to damage. Not to mention that, in my case, a fast bump into the curb may damage the rim. Previously, I had the Yokohamach Advan Sport mounted for four years and although it was very difficult because the tyres were hard, the tyres were not damaged. When it comes to Uniroyals last season, three times I had to visit the fitting station. This year, after the first month, I already repaired the tyre. Reason: wedging into a too deep hole. Perhaps this is due to the 45 profile, but these things simply should not happen these times. Read more Collapse

That was once again a conscious choice of tyres. For many years, I'm choosing Uniroyal tyres for a rainy summer. Everything happens on the dry and wet surfaces, you only need to keep on the road. It is the next generation of tyres, revised and improved. Very good drainage and rubber compound provide a high comfort while driving. Driving on wet in fast corners ensures the stability of the car through the special tread. On the highway at speeds of 80-85mph without any effect of aquaplaning. Brief braking provides further security. Only the relatively rapid consumption is a little inconvenient. Covering at a distance of about 25000miles is the result of an inadequate tyres. If you use two sets in one year, here you will be using them for 3-4 years. Read more Collapse

Hello. The the previous car I was using an earlier model of this Uniroyal tyre and I was very happy with it. However, the Uniroyal Rainsport 3 which I’ve recently bought disappointed me slightly. After purchase, they made toe in a facility and checked geometries in the car. Even that the tyres are noisy to me. To settle they needed about 620 miles but in the tight corners I still can hear them. They quickly wear out on the roads that I drive on, but the car holds the road very well on both wet and dry conditions as other users say. Indeed the tread pattern looks like a winner, but safety and pleasure of driving is important too. The price for these tyres is low. It’s ok when you take into account the price/quality/driving pleasure/security. Read more Collapse

I would like to evaluate today Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres size 225/55/17. Last summer I traveled around southern Europe and I was very concerned about the feedback of some users about the softness of tyres and especially in the conditions of elevated temperatures. I do not confirm these allegations - the tyres were perfect on red heated asphalt. During downpours on this slippery southern asphalt, they were doing great. Water drainage is a big advantage. durability - I can not evaluate this parameter because 7,000 km is not enough. Another disadvantage that users paid attention to is the softness of the sides - I have a heavy car but I did not get that impression. I recommend tyres and encourage anyone who is still not convinced. Read more Collapse

The tire works well. It doesn’t show any difference between dry and wet conditions. In the case of very high temperatures (plus 35 degrees) it becomes softer and can skid the back on the roundabout (RWD) without much effort. You can hear the whistle, but it isn’t annoying or anything so you can quickly forget about it. Some inequalities cause the impression that the car jumps (it may be due to the low profile). As for the durability of this tyre, it has taken a lot and compared to Proxes that I’ve managed to destroy after 6 months, this tyre is very resistible. Tyres appearance: two amazing rim protectors and Shark Technology on the tread. I recommend this tyre and intend to buy it again in the future. An amazing tire! Read more Collapse

One of the tyres broke after 2 days of driving ... Bad luck, I drove to an unidentified object on an even road (to work, at a speed of 40 km / h). The hole in which you can put 2 fingers, tyre to be thrown away. I had a spare so I bought a new one only in the next season ... So I could observe the consumption. After 20,000 km of normal driving ... it seems to me that it's a lot of wear, especially because I drive rather gently (I'm not talking about speed because it does not matter). The tyres make noise (quite much) especially in the most useful range (from 50 to approx. 70 km / h). I will not buy them a second time, so I do not recommend them to others. I recall of one benefit: very good on wet, but that's all .. Read more Collapse

Tyres are cheap and really cool. The car grips the road really well. Some people write that the car floats in excess of 85mph. Personally, I have not noticed this behavior when driving on the highway even at speed 112mph. That may be the suspension. Performance in the wet conditions is better. Car sticks to the ground like on glue. Great water draining. The only thing that bothers me is the behavior of a tyre with raids on the side wall. Cornering on the pavement , if it's entered early, can damage the rim. I've checked and the tyres were inflated to the manufacturer's instructions. As regards the strength of the tyre is not quite led them to this state. In general, in this price range is a recommended tyre. Read more Collapse

I've purchased these tyres with the idea on my mind that if the conditions will be worse, which in the summer means rain, so these tyres are a reasonable choice. Earlier I had the Uniroyal Rainsport 2 and I was very happy with them. Very good grip on wet and dry surfaces. Good braking. The tyres are wide, although I have not experienced any phenomenon of aquaplaning. In the rain I had the desire to try the tyres in a turn, where you normally have maximum 37mph. I've managed to beat it with 62mph on the counter. The only drawback of this tyre are great drainage grooves, in which the stones easily enter. The tyres of this size always presents very well. Overall a good tyre for good money. Recommendable. Read more Collapse

I bought these tyres at the beginning of the season> So far it surprised me only in a positive way. It is especially important for me to grasp the wet as there is a great mass of the car (starting a little over 2 tons), so it is very important that you do not lose cornering grip. So far it's well exercised in these conditions. The aquaplaning even imperceptible, but it is only the beginning of the tread. On a dry road also I've had no problem, even inhibit when the corners are quite rigid and at high temperatures it's not squeaky. Highly recommendable. I've already tested many high perfoemance brands and the Uniroyal is more than average. For me he best for wet conditions are Uniroyal rainsport 3. Read more Collapse

As a long term fan of the rainsport on other cars I am sad that I just can't recommend these tyres in place of the standard BMW runflats. The sidewalls are just far too soft even on the XL rated tyres and I now have no confidence really pushing the car because I'm never really quite sure how it is going to behave. Fast changes of direction are a no no. They're fine if you just want to go to the shops and back but if you actually want the car to feel good when pressing on then stay away. I won't be buying these for this car again. One good thing I can say is that they are excellent in the rain as always, I had no slides or aquaplaning in heavy standing water (6.5mm tread on the tyres at that time). Read more Collapse

Hello. My opinion is quite non-standard, because the tyres were used only on the track, and not in normal traffic. I am not able to judge tyres during normal driving - from what I have read, they have quite positive reviews. However, the tyres are definitely not suitable for sports driving because they are too soft - when the tyres are fast, tight, the tyre curls up, resulting in the inconvenience on the track and the tearing of the tyre's sides. After heating the tyre gets very soft which intensifies the effect described. But I emphasize - my opinion is about a sporty ride on the track, not in normal traffic where tyres are not driven to such high temperatures and so much abuse. Read more Collapse

This is my second Uniroyal tyre set. A few days ago, I returned home in the rain and snow. No problems with traction or aquaplaning. You should know that the tread can face water drainage. There is a surprisingly low noise level C. My previous summer tyres on this car were Continentals, but it seems that Uniroyals are quieter. Maybe they are still too new, but for now I enjoy the geratest peace inside the car. I usually drive in the city at speeds of 85-125mph. Tyres recommendable - in this price category are almost unbeatable. Their direct rival is probably only Hankook. I 'm not able to examined the issue of evaluation or sustainability - it is too early.

Although they are summer tyres that worked well during the transitional period (temporary frosts), they perfectly stick to the road, work well in corners and on mountain roads, have excellent grip. A tyre for those who value safety and convenience, not rally sporty edge. Tested both on the highway (it is well driven to a speed of 140km / h - I do not drive faster for what?), As well as on local and mountain roads. I am bringing children so safety is a priority. They save fuel even when driving around the city. With these tyres, consumption has dropped by an average of a liter per 100km. I also have winter Uniroyals. I would recommend. Read more Collapse

The tyre has no reinforcements on the side rims. After inflating, it looks like it has been deflated all the time. Holes on the way and, unfortunatelymake the car jump up, the same while driving on the curb + they get crushed mercilessly on the sides. To top it all, the body floats sideways. On the water, ok, it drains water, holds up thanks asymmetry of the tread. The left side throws water under the tyres on the outside and the right side of the car throws water under the tyre, but of course everyone from the manufacturer to traders and local sellers say that it is supposed to be so. I leave the choice to drivers. Regards Read more Collapse

I bought Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tires because I needed tyres that will provide well perform on wet surfaces. My expectations have come true. I really wanted to minimize the risk of hydroplaning, because of my wife, she also usy this car.. The Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyre gives me a sense of security in all conditions and makes sure I do not have to slow down when I drive during the heavy rain.I cant complain about this tyres. They have excellent grip and are surprisingly quiet and pattern tread looks sporty. I recommend these tyres to anyone who likes aggressive driving in all wether conditions. Read more Collapse

Before I purchsed Uniroyal tyres I had many doubts about the manufacturer.I was wondering if I should spend a little more and buy premium class tyres. I decided to purchase these tyres because of their parameters. I must confess that I am not disappointed with this purchase. The tyres are good looking, their grip is fantastic. Compared with Toyo tyres I had before are much quieter, and more comfortable during the drivie. The differences can be observed especially on the bumpy road. These tiyes are designed to operate in dificult and wet conditions. Read more Collapse

I bought Uniyoral tyres in 185/55 R15 size and they fit pefectly to my Renault Clio and my driving style. My driving style is not aggressive one but I like to drive fast. I drive mainly in a city and on a highway from time to time. The stability of the car has not deviated from the norm. In the wet conditions tyres stick to the road very good. Admittedly, this profile does not dampen inequality rather too well but the noise level is acceptable. In summary, I do recommend Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres to everyone!! Read more Collapse

This is my second set of Uniroyal tyres. Previusly I used RainExpert model. Compared to its predecessors they are more quiet, as well and the pattern tread is more atractive. The Rainsport 3 tyres perfom superb in wet condition, completely hassle-free braking and driving in deep puddles same. Even in sharp corners you still feel confident. They were very durable compare to my previous tyres. I curently done about 25000 miles and I can not notice any signs of wear. Very good quality to price ratio. I do recommend Read more Collapse

The tyre works very well in everyday use. They perform perfectly in the puddles and ruts with water.I drive mainly in a city with a moderate speed and on a highway from time to time. The Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres provide a good grip and safety on a road. The rubber compound is quite soft and I have to drive more before I rate their durability.I have noticed that they are very quiet.They looks very nice on my car. Im very happy. I recommend especially for moderate city driving and to the long family trips. Read more Collapse

Got these on all 4 corners of my 2000 3 Series. Great in the wet, I live in Ireland so this is needed. Aqua planing is a thing of the past. A little noisy. Good fuel economy once inflated to the correct pressure. Curb protection of the rim is good. Reasonable grip in the cold, for an all weather tyre. Some great info here. Check their tech vids to understand the water dispersion at work. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Uniroyal-Rainsport-3-Launched.htm 4.5 Stars - Thanks UniRoyal Read more Collapse

I run them on a small car and as such very light. My previous tyres when braking hard would cause abs to come on frequently. With these tyres I can't remember the last time abs came on. Very hard braking in the rain is exceptionally amazing. Acqua plaining is also a thing of the past. If you live in a rainy country or region, these tyres are for you. Exception for aggressive driving. Because they are a softer compound they will feel a bit mushy in warmer weather and warmer tarmac. Read more Collapse

These tyres are great. They are one of the lowest for fuel consumprion and noise and I can well believe it. They really stick to the road and are OK in mud/off road. I'll be replacing the other two soon and would definately go for these again. I've been using Uniroyal since about 1977 and trust the brand. The rainsport 3 is the latest for this wheel size and I've got Unirolyals on a pickup, a modern coupe and a classic car. Love 'em! Read more Collapse

These tyres have dramatically improved my car in almost every way. The wet grip is unbelievable when I compare it to the federal tyres that I had previous. As I live in Ireland it's always raining and the roads are very slippy and it's hard to get heat into the tyres but with these tyres that's not a problem you get great grip even when cold. I would highly recommend these tyres for anyone driving a rear wheel drive car in the wet. Read more Collapse

I drive a vRS Octavia and needed a tyre to suit the performance of the vehicle and when I fitted the rainsport 3 tyres the difference even from the rainsport 2 was exceptional. Driving in wet and very wet conditions the tyres do exactly what you want them to do and grip the road as if it were dry. I am extremely satisfied with the performance and very happy with the service from oponeo. Read more Collapse

Very good tyres excellent grip in wet and dry conditions.
