Product description & features

Wet braking and resistance to aquaplaning are the main concerns with the Uniroyal RainSport 5. Uniroyal has built this tyre with a directional tread featuring a V shape. Water is channeled by this design from the centre to the outer edge of the tyre. Inside the grooves of the tread, the stall of flow of water and turbulence is handled by the finish of Shark Skin Technology. Edge sipes are integrated in the tread and aid in water removal and provide grip while braking and turning.

The RainSport 5 has replaced the 3 and has an anticipated 15% increase in lifespan. There are also versions which can carry a heavier load; these are the RainSport 5 XL, which have reinforced sidewalls. These tyres should only be used when the temperature is higher than approximately 7 degrees Celsius. Tyres.co.uk also has XL versions.

Highlights

  • V-shaped directional tread
  • Edge sipes for water removal
  • Reinforced sidewalls on XL versions

Tyre review for Uniroyal RainSport 5 185/55R15 82V
Excellent Uniroyal RainSport 5s! This will be my second set. My first set lasted nearly 45,000 miles! They have amazing grip in all conditions. I've fitted them to my Skoda Octavia VRS with 305 bhp, and I do enjoy driving quite spiritedly. I definitely recommend, and I would buy them again.

Tyre review for Uniroyal RainSport 5 185/55R15 82V
I replaced my all-season Goodyear tyres with these and now have winter tyres. They are very good value for the money. They may not grip the road quite as well as the Goodyears, but that is fine for my car that only gets used a few times a month. They are manageable in wet and dry conditions, but I do notice that when cornering sharply and at higher speeds, they don't grip as well as the Goodyears did.
