Uniroyal Rainsport 5 Reviews - Page 2

Given 94% while driving a Fiat Tipo (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 37 average miles
Fiat Tipo 2018. Mileage 25,000 km/year. I use it 80% on the highway. On dry roads, I did not notice any difference compared to other branded manufacturers. Excellent on water. Excellent value for money. Noise level is pleasant. I cannot evaluate rubber wear in a negative direction, because I change it sooner than wear.

Given 80% while driving a Mazda mx 5 (195/50 R15) on a combination of roads for 2,000 miles
After I brought a Mazda mx-5 nb which had new rainsport 5 on the front axle but budget tyres on the rear axle, and wanted 4 matching tyres. Initial impressions were good so new rs5 were ordered. Grip on adverse conditions were excellent and with low tyre noise and a comfortable ride, I am more than happy. Dry grip though average but the handling was safe and predictable.

Good grip in the dry and wet but the wear quickly. I don’t like the sidewall design but I do like the tread pattern.

Given 53% while driving a Alfa Romeo Giuiletta (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
I have had these tyres fitted to two cars now. The first set I bought myself and were fitted to a BMW. The second set came already fitted to a front wheel drive Alfa Giulietta.On the BMW they were disappointing, very squirmy at the rear with imprecise handling and lots of wheelspin when pulling away they ruined the handling of the car compared to the previous Goodyear Eagle Assymetric. On the Alfa they seem to suit the car better and give a nice comfortable (but not sporty) drive. They seem to be a touring tyre rather than a performance one, as feedback on both cars was limited, although they do seem to suit a front drive setup much better than a rear drive. In terms of wear they are okay if not brilliant, they cut through standing water well and are not too expensive. I will be looking elsewhere next time as I prefer a sportier tyre.

Given 93% while driving a Mercedes Benz c 220 cdi (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 40,000 average miles
After crashing my car due to aquaplaning, i got scared to drive under wet conditions but these tyre just grips under rain ! They lasted 35km till now and still have 3.4mm, the tyre is very comfortable, pretty quiet id say. In dry condition if u are not planning to go to a circuit theres not much differences between them and goodyears EG PE2 it understeer a bit when i am too mighty in corners. But overall very nice tyre last very long since i am driving 50% town 40% country road and 10%% highway pretty agressivly, they still lasted 40000km and still have quite a margin !! For beginers, daily drive i would highly recommend these tyre for the price, comfort and security under wet conditions which is a very important point !

Given 93% while driving a Audi S3 (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
Dry grip is execptional, then when it rains, that level of grip just keeps on giving! It's like the the rain doesn't even effect these tyres! Feedback and handling progression is alot better than I expected for what feels like a soft compound and soft sidewall tyre. Didn't last as long as the previous Bridgestones, however the grip level is a step above, and so is well worth the comprimise. Also as comfortable, if not more so, than a set of Michelins I have also previously had on the car. Definately recommend, definately buy again.

I dont think there are many better tyres than these in the wet! Dry performance suffers a bit though. Feedback and comfort are ok. Would buy again, not bad in the snow

Best tyres I’ve had. Have previously used Bridgestone potenza that were excellent but wore down quickly and lost grip. The uniroyal is a far superior tyre

Given 36% while driving a Renault Clio 172 (195/50 R15) on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Conclusion: If you have a hot hatch and enjoy spirited driving, avoid these like the plague! Probably ok for a Sunday driver with a car that won't exceed 30mph anywhere. I've got Rainsport 5's fitted on my Clio 172 Turbo with Speedline 2118s so tyre size is 195-50-15's......I absolutely detest them

Very precise steering and high cornering grip in the wet. Very quiet. Does the business on dry tarmac too
