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 5 195/55R15 85H
For the past three months, I have been really pleased with the performance of these tyres. Considering how much rain we have had this year in Northern Ireland, they have been great for traction on the wet roads. I feel confident driving on them, especially when it is challenging, as they good handle the tough conditions. They are good at stopping aquaplaning.
