Product description & features

Uniroyal’s RainExpert 3 consists of summer tyres suitable for personal cars with water drainage being the main consideration. The company works together with Shark Skin Technology in terms of the design and production of treads and grooves that are helpful in draining water. For the drainage of rainwater, the RainExpert 3 has deep round channels that help in collecting water, as well as angled grooves that will drain water from the tyre to its outer edge. Moreover, the tread blocks have slits for providing improved braking and cornering on wet road surfaces. The tread blocks of the tyre are designed to keep stability while braking.

This model being the third generation of the RainExpert Continuous series, the RainExpert 3 summer tyre line now provides 3rd generation Continuous series summer passenger car tyres. Some sizes of the series are also produced with XL construction that gives extra load reinforcement for cars needing high carrying ability. Tyres.co.uk provides the Uniroyal RainExpert 3, including the reinforced XL tyres.

Highlights

  • Deep circular water channels
  • Angled water-draining grooves
  • Tread block slits for wet grip

Tyre review for Uniroyal RainExpert 3 205/60R16 96Y XL
At first, it may feel a little soft for the first 100-200 miles, but after that, it is great for wet conditions.

Tyre review for Uniroyal RainExpert 3 205/60R16 96Y XL
Up to this point, I am satisfied. The handling seems okay, but I haven't tried them out in very bad weather yet. The likelihood is that I will buy more of these tyres before the year is out.

The tyres are what I was expecting and it is nice that they handle well with the wet weather that is more common in the UK.

Tyre review for Uniroyal RainExpert 3 205/60R16 96Y XL
The Uniroyals give decent confidence in wet conditions, just not great. Had I replaced all four tyres and not just two, I probably would have felt more of a difference.

Excellent purchase. I can actually feel the difference. The dealer had put on some budget brand tyres when I purchased the vehicle.
