    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 biggest negatives of my previous tyres wich they were Continental Contisport 3 was incredible sensitivity to ruts into the road and problem in steering. The Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres solved these problems. They stick to the road even in the most demanding weather conditions and dosen’t generate any vibration.I had absolutely no problems with balancing, wheel alignment or steering.The resistance is comparable to the width of the tyre and is typical for any brand tyre, that is without reservations. The tyres are quite soft that can be felt during fast driving, but does not interfere with normal using. They are very comfortable and pattern tread look very nice and sporty. I cant complain about regarding behavior on dry and wet surfaces,simply brilliant, which is not surprising in the case becouse Uniroyal is considered the inventor of the rain tyre. While driving on a highway in Croatia I've encountered biggest rain I ve ever seen while driving a car.. Despite the fact that the wipers could not keep pace.and the road looked like a riverI could boldly go 70-80 mph risking nothing. The tyres did't lose contact with the road even for a moment and ideally would discharge the water from under the wheels and there was no problem with aquaplaning. I recommend these tyres.

    Opinion from outside the UK

    Excellent purchase. Very good quality to price ratio. The Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres my brother recommended me who has the same 17 inch model and is also very happy. I drive mainly in a city and I have nothing to complain about regarding behavior on dry and wet surfaces, they’re getting on very well even at speeds of 80-90 mph.They are quite loud but propably becouse of tread pattern and also of the old bearings, surely it also depends on the car and its attenuation. I drove on them about 7000 miles and I can’t complain, there are absolutely no wear signs apart from a few cuts from glass or are any sharp stones but until today I have not damaged any tyre. The Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres look great even on my crooked alloys wheels. I drove normally, I don't prefer sporty or aggressive driving. The tyres are perform very well and stick to the road even in the most demanding weather conditions and dosen’t generate any vibrationI can easily recommend the Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres and other models from this manufacturer to every driver. The best value for money priced. Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside the UK

    The tyre with good value for money. For the price we get a mid-range product that perform on the wet condition the same or even better as tyres Michelin Energy Saver or ContiPremiumContact 2. When it rains you just do not need to slow down. Not removing hands from the steering wheel when we hit a rut full of water. On a dry surface it is also fine, but dry conditions are doing practically all the tyres. Volume tyres do not mind but I can not judge it objectively. It is rather comfortable tyre. The sides of the tyres are soft and feel it in faster cornering. Appearance tyres on big plus. This is not the most important factor, but if on the occasion of the tyre looks nice on the car is worth highlighting. In my opinion besides Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta it is probably in the order of second best-looking tyre. I recommend especially for those who are looking for comfort tyres with excellent value for money and good behavior in the wet. 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

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.
