Uniroyal RainExpert 3 170/55 R13 Hyundai Atos 1,500 miles October 4, 2025
Wet Grip: Excellent!
Dry grip: Very good
Comfort: Excellent! After 24 years my old Atos feel like a premium one!
Rolling Resistance: The only "downside". This tire has a serious grip that make me push the pedal a little more.
Noise: Quiet but i use the car only in town.
P.S.: These tires are very soft so they need much air. I put 2.5 bar in fronts and 2.4 on rears and this helps reduce the "floaty" feeling when there is windy weather. Will buy again!
