Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Uniroyal RainSport 5 235-35-19 Ford FOCUS ST 2.0 TDCI MK3 8,000 miles August 27, 2025
I stayed with Uniroyal rainsport tyres after my first set on rainsport 4 tyres, could only get rainsport 5s when I wanted to renew.
Rainsport 4s I couldn't fault them in any way they were brilliant and to add to the brilliant tyres they were the cheapest tyre at the time of any named brand.
So thought the rainsport 5s would be even better and the tread pattern was changed as well, I thought it didn't look as good as the 4s but thought Uniroyal know what there doing .
That's where my love ended with them when I put the 5s on my car became horrible to drive, in any condition if I were on a motorway, wet or dry the car would need constantly correcting as if there were something wrong with the car, like something loose not a good feeling like drifting vaguely when it felt planted on the 4s.
My car is a focus ST3 in excellent condition so it shouldn't act like it does, I definitely won't be buying Uniroyal rainsport 5s again
