RainSport 3 is a summer tire, which is ideally suited to harsh weather conditions. Uniroyal, the brand known for its rain tires, developed a tire model that performs very well on wet roads, making driving safer. The modern tread design ensures quick water removal from under the front of the tire. A wet road is not a threat to a car fitted with RainSport 3 tires. The model has been designed for mid-range cars and SUVs.
Adhesion:
The car "sticks" to the road and performs safely when cornering, as the tread of RainSport 3 has many 3D grooves and elastic shoulders, which ensure a better grip. These features are particularly important during heavy rain. The car behaves reliably, responding well to the driver's commands and the drive is safe. The manufacturer is strongly focused on the maximum safety of drivers, therefore it has used a special rubber blend designed to improve grip.
Protection against aquaplaning:
When designing this model, the manufacturers were inspired by a water predator, so the model uses a unique shape of water-draining grooves that is similar to the structure of shark skin. The innovative solution and fine grooves that regulate the flow of water ensure excellent performance on wet surfaces. The shape of the tread prevents the loss of grip when the car drives over, e.g. a puddle. As a result, drivers using RainSport 3 are additionally protected against aquaplaning.
Driving:
RainSport 3 tires have a top-class wet grip category, marked according to European standards with the letter "A". This is very important information for drivers who want to drive safely and to feel confident behind the wheel of their cars. The asymmetrical tread pattern used in RainSport 3 increases the area of the tire’s contact with the ground, whereas the uniformly distributed pressure reduces the wear of tires and corrects any misalignments.
Uniroyal is a well-known producer of excellent rain tires. The company is owned by the German concern Continental, which produces top class tires. In addition to Uniroyal, Continental owns also other brands, including Barum, Semperit, Sportiva and Matador.

Opinion from outside the UK
Excellent purchase. Very good quality to price ratio. The Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres my brother recommended me who has the same 17 inch model and is also very happy. I drive mainly in a city and I have nothing to complain about regarding behavior on dry and wet surfaces, they’re getting on very well even at speeds of 80-90 mph.They are quite loud but propably becouse of tread pattern and also of the old bearings, surely it also depends on the car and its attenuation. I drove on them about 7000 miles and I can’t complain, there are absolutely no wear signs apart from a few cuts from glass or are any sharp stones but until today I have not damaged any tyre. The Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres look great even on my crooked alloys wheels. I drove normally, I don't prefer sporty or aggressive driving. The tyres are perform very well and stick to the road even in the most demanding weather conditions and dosen’t generate any vibrationI can easily recommend the Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres and other models from this manufacturer to every driver. The best value for money priced. Read more Collapse

The tyres are not very expensive but very cool. The car really holds the road well. Some people write that the car ‘’floats’’ at speeds above 90 miles / h ... I personally have not noticed this behavior even when driving on the highway 120 miles \ h. Maybe its a matter of suspension. The performance in wet conditions even better. The car stick to the road even in the most demanding weather conditions and dosen’t generate any virbation. Great drains water. The only thing that bothers me is the behavior of a tyre with while under the curb, faster entry to the curb can damage the rim. As for the durability of the tyre i need more experimence in this case to expres my opinion . Generally, in this price range is a tyre recommendable. I do recommend to everyone. Read more Collapse

One of the tyres burst after 2 days of driving. Just had bad luck.I punctured a tyre on a flat road on the way to my work. I drove at speed 20 mph. There was a leak hole which you can insert two fingers. I went to the fitting station to exchange the tyre. I was very disappointed what I saw. The tyres after 1200 miles normal city driving looked heavily redacted. The tread was completely worn out. I would like to add that I drive quite calmly.. The Uniroyals tyres are a lmore noisy than my previous tyres ,particularly in the most useful range (30 to approx. 50 mph). Their only advantage is the nice look and great perform in wet condition. I wont buy them a second time becouse I m very disappointed, so I would not recommend to others. Read more Collapse

I decided to purchase these tyres because of their parameters I was looking for summer tyres that perform well in wet conditions.My previous tyres were Uniroyal RainSport 2 and also I was pleased with them. The Uniroyal Rainsport 3 looks amazing,Very good grip on wet and dry. Good braking, I drove at high speeds and never had the feel car fell into slippage. It makes you feel their safe. I tested these tyres in the rain condition on a bend, where you enter up to 60 km / h I defeated this corner and accelerated to 100km / h. The only drawback is the wide grooves on the tread in which simply enters the stones. I would like to recommend the Uniroyal Rainsport 3 to everybody. Very good quality to price ratio.

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

They provide great performance in the warm and wet conditions. In the case of very high temperatures (+35 degree) becoming softer and and it can wear out faster without too much gassing. They are bit noisy than my previous tyres but it is still barely hearable. Transverse unevenness causing the impression that the car jumps (it may be just becouse the low profile). As for the durability of this tyre it has lifted a lot compared with Toyo Proxes tyres that after half a year it was damaged,not worth anything.Their tread pattern looks amazing (SharkTechnology). I highly recommended Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres.to all drivers.Next year I will purchase this tyres again Super tyre! Read more Collapse

Got these to replace the Chinese sunny tyres the dealer put on the car ( very noisy ) as they were not so good in anything but perfect weather . Rainsport3 is a very good tyre indeed ,quiet,very good wet grip only find the side walls on the soft side when driving hard but other than that the ride is spot on. Read more Collapse

I've always rated Uniroyal tyres and although I find that they don't last as long as some brands the reliability and road holding they provide makes them the no.1 choice for myself, family and customers, rainsport 3 are superb in the wet and corner like a go-kart in the dry.. Read more Collapse

Great wet weather grip. Quite tyre on the road wear rate is reasonable on a full time 4x4 drive vehicle thats as heavy as the discovery. We tow a big twin axle alot and they behave brilliantly, nice control. Would recommend especially for our climate. Read more Collapse

I do up to 270km/h in my A8 and lowe this tyres. Road eats them quickly in such speeds but the better the tyre the quicker it will go. Its the price we pay for good grip. They are great in wet when you hit an unexpected pool of water. Read more Collapse
