    Opinion from outside the UK

    The tyres recommendable especially in wet weather, they were created for such weather conditions. Good lead on dry and wet asphalt, relatively quiet. On the previous generation of Uniroyals I drove even on winter, the bit problem was only on the ice. The only minus for is me that you can not go faster than 90mph, becouse about 100 – 105 mph gently vibrates the steering wheel. Compare to Bridgestone Turanza ER 300 on which I also rode there was no such problem that it was but please notice that was premium class tyre. Uniroyal is a mid-range tyre but it is very close to the premium class. The tyres look really great because of their unique tread pattern When it comes to consumption, driving only the season, so far I have not noticed a bigger consumption. However, I noticed that their grip and braking in dry and wet weather conditions is great. The Uniroyal tyres will not disappoint you. Maybe for such car as mine, I have a BMW and Mercedes rather I should have bought something from higher class but those tyres are ideal in my opinion . In summary, if you can afford to spend more money or you have a very fast car you can buy something better (unless you are driving mostly around the city, then it is not of great importance), The Uniroyal – RainSport 3 tyres are one of the best value for money.What is more, you will feel safety and that is the most important thing. I do recommend these tyres to everybody. Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside the UK

    The tyre is supposed to class A on the label when it comes to wet grip. Unfortunatly that's not true. When you drive into a puddle the ESP system has really a lot of work. The Uniroyal RainSport 3 are very soft tyre a big plus of that is driving comfort. The tyres beats when it is cold but when they catch the right temperature it's all good. The class A for wet grip for this tyre is rather a joke.I use them from the second half of March I have them in the second half of March I also have some doubts about the TWI indicator. Its basically the blob, which indicates that the water does not easily escape from under the tyre which often resulted in the phenomenon of aquaplaning. It was quite dangerous on the road. Just to be clear, I drive usually in a city, do not drive professionally or sports, usually expresswayi and highways. In my opinion the price is very attractive so the choice is yours! I hope It was helpful Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside the UK

    Nice appearance and quite a good ride on the water. Total mistake turned out to buy these tyres. If I had ridden Matiz it can be everything could worked. However, the tyres totally not suitable for faster ride, so if you have a sports car you have to be really careful. First time I have contact with the product, which above 90 mph takes literally swim. When I have drove on the highway at 120 mph I felt insecure. Tyres weird bounced on the ruts and holes. The car started to slipped. Whats more, the tyres are quite loud during overcoming bows. I did not expect that. I also experienced aquaplaning which was very disturbing. I am very disappointed. I was expecting much better product. My previous tyres AVON ZV5 was much better. Don't be tempted sporty in appearance of the tyres.I do regret my decision I do not recommend Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres. I hope that my opinion will be helpful. Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside the UK

    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

    Opinion from outside the UK

    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

Scale of scores: Highest lowest

RainSport 3 is a summer tire designed for mid-range cars and SUVs. It is marked with a special umbrella symbol, used by Uniroyal to indicate its rain tires. The brand is a leader in manufacturing tires that ensure safety on wet surfaces. RainSport 3 is a great choice for drivers who want to maintain their dynamic driving and feel confident on the road, regardless of the road conditions.



Grip

Adhesion:

The contact surface of the tire has been optimized, resulting in excellent traction. The unique properties of this solution are especially useful in heavy rains. The car is safely controlled on the bends, and the tires respond perfectly to the movements of the steering wheel. Additional safety is assured by a shortened braking distance during dynamic maneuvers.



Aquaplaning

Protection against aquaplaning:

Uniroyal designed the RainSport 3 model using solutions invented by nature. Drainage grooves are inspired by the unique properties of shark skin and provide improved water flow. Users of Shark Skin Technology will experience a noticeable increase in road safety and resistance to dangerous aquaplaning, which may cause loss of vehicle control.



Handling

Driving:

RainSport 3 was appreciated by jurors, who awarded the Uniroyal brand with the prestigious Red Dot Design Award. This special award is the recognition of the innovation and functionality of the tire. The asymmetric tread design ensures driving safety, maximum performance and effective braking in all conditions. RainSport 3 is quiet even at high speeds, optimizing the acoustics in the cab and guaranteeing exceptional comfort.


Uniroyal Logo

Uniroyal is one of the best well-known brands of medium class tires. The company was founded in the second half of the nineteenth century and has extensive experience in the production of tires.

Currently, the portfolio of this brand includes tires for cars, vans, trucks and 4x4 vehicles. Uniroyal is famous for its excellent rain tires – hence the umbrella logo on the tires.
