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.
