Uniroyal RainSport 5 205/55 R15 88 V

I have these on the front in my Mini Cooper S Coupe and also had them before on all 4 corners on my 2007 Boxster S. They are by far the best tyres I used in Scotland. Because the weather here is always damp, cold and rains a lot, these were an option I considered for the Boxster and now that I have the Mini I put them on as well on the front as the ones that came with the car were budget tyres and were awful. Now, they are very good on dry tarmac and grip is more than sufficient for normal daily driving, if you are a bit of a heavy foot person you will see that they can handle quite a lot of abuse. In wet conditions they come to their best and I can confirm that both the Boxster and the Mini have benefited from having these tyres fitted. You can drive quite hard and the water dispersion is great. The confidence of having grip even under torrential downpour is one of the best feelings when driving. I am not saying you should drive like a maniac, but these tyres are definitely the best I have ever had in a vehicle in the last 25 years. Wear will depend on the driving style, so don’t blame them if you drive like nuts and use a lot of unnecessary braking. Both in the Boxster and the Mini these are fantastic and the feeling of a secure and stable drive is what’s best for me. Will definitely have them in the future again, and recommend to anyone not only in Scotland, but perhaps the whole of the U.K. where the weather is not nice most of the time. Mind you, these are summer tyres, don’t go crazy during winter, because as most summer tyres, the rubber goes hard below 6 degrees Celsius, so if you like a sharp drive even in cold weather, get a set of proper winter tyres.

For the price, these are great tyres. They grip well in the dry and very well in the wet. I'm using them on a stage 2+ tuned cupra k1 and not had any traction issues so far. I would definitely recommend them to those wanting a decent tyre at a lower budget, in the dry they are almost as good as the goodyear eagles they replaced and in the wet seem to out perform them.

Always use Rainsport 5 on my car. Find the road holding very good in the dry, and also feel very confident when driving on wet surfaces. In winter believe it or not. Ive found these tyres to be very good in the snow, within reason, and I've never used snow tyres for a few years now. I do a 50 mile return commute to work most days. Read more Collapse

Excellent mid range tyres. I have been using Uniroyal tyres for quite some time now and I was always pleased with their performance. However the only let down is that the price is slowly creeping up so they will soon compete with premium tyres price wise. Read more Collapse

Have used Rainsports from 3's through to 5s. Preferred tread pattern of ones previous to 5's but they all do the job especially wet grip which is best in class. Wear well, medium price range excellent all round tyre. Read more Collapse
