Opinion from outside the UK

I purchased 2 tyres on the front axle since the previous ones were faulty. So far no problems at all. Very good grip in the dry. In the rain as the name suggests really are a rain expert :) When it comes to driving in the rain I have not had a better tyre so far. To break the grip on the move you have to really try. No instability while braking, ABS did not activate at all, as with some other tyres and sudden braking is the norm. I won’t write anything about their durability or rolling resistance because I have them for long enough. They are only being slightly noisy at high speed motorways but not lower speeds than that. Overally these tyres are great! Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

I think that is a good brand and the manufacturer does not have to be ashamed and fear. Sound Dampening flexibility to overcome inequality, drainage and traction on various surfaces is good. Read more Collapse

Well they keep the tires on dry roads. Once pisnely when starting in the 40 degree heat. The wet well to divert water. Water fountains can be seen in the rearview mirror ;-) Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

Tyres (size 195/65 R15 91 H) I have had those for one season, I have travelled on them about 7.000 km (mainly in the city, but also a few longer holiday trips). On dry and wet surface tyres stick to the surface very well. Noise - up to 120 km / h - quiet; above 130 km / h - a bit more noise, but the noise level is still acceptable (the ears does not hurt, and the radio does not need to be turned up). The appearance does not matter to me, although it presents itself well - the tyre is to be safe and not to look nice. After 7.000 km tyre wear unnoticeable. Overally OK, but ... Previously I used Uniroyal RainSport 2 (on the same car) and thanks for the great impression and experience - I bought their next generation, that is RainExpert 3. Unfortunately, I have the impression that the newer not necessarily became better and that "better" has disappeared from the market. RainExpert 3 was excellent when it comes to grip: absolutely not afraid to go faster in the puddles, or faster to ride in the rut in the rain - they were like glued to the asphalt. With RainExpert 3 I have no such confidence and peace of mind: in such situations I have the impression that the tyres are balancing on the edge of grip the can offer but - surprisingly (and fortunately) - nothing bad ever happens. Moreover - even deliberate attempt to get the car into a light slip did not quite succeeded. Nevertheless, the unpleasant feeling - riding on the ice – doesn’t leave me. If not my previous experience with RainExpert 2, probably RainExpert 3 would recommend. But compared to RainExpert 2- I'm a bit disappointed: maybe I expected too much of them, but the predecessors - RainExpert 2- have set the bar high. Maybe it's a car issue, but to my Vectra - I would rather not buy them again. Read more Collapse

Scale of scores: Highest lowest

Uniroyal RainExpert 3 is a summer tyre designed for passenger cars. This is a middle-class tyre and guarantees the best value for money. The asymmetric tread pattern helps a car to drive safely on any type of surface.

Aquaplanting

Tyre developers have opted for the RainExpert 3, The 3 RainExpert performs excellently in rain due to the Shark Skin Technology, which features very small grooves in the water channels to reduce the flow turbulence and ensures a faster displacement of water from under the contact patch. As a result, the driver has better control over the vehicle on wet roads and is better protected against aquaplaning.

Grip

RainExpert 3 stands out from the competition when it comes to optimised water flow and its tread, which is responsible for excellent traction on wet roads. The confident cornering and excellent traction is ensured by the large outer shoulder blocks. According to the European classification, which determines the wet grip, the Rain Expert 3 received the highest rating - Class A.

Fuel efficiency

The tread was designed to optimise the contact patch with the road, which translates to lower friction forces and lower rolling resistance on all types of surfaces. How does this affect the car user? The tyre uses less energy to maintain constant speed in a straight line and lowers fuel consumption.

Uniroyal is a well known manufacturer, especially among drivers who are looking for models with the best proven wet grip. Since the launch of the first rain tyre by Uniroyal, professional tyre test results and drivers opinions confirm that their models are the best solution for wet weather. Uniroyal also owes its prestige to the fact that the company belongs to one of the largest tyre manufacture groups in the world - the German Continental.
