Worst ResultPerformance Analysis
Uniroyal RainExpert shows a mixed trajectory: early tests (2010-2011) delivered strong, well-balanced results including a podium, but later comprehensive evaluations (2012-2015) trend mid-pack to weak, culminating in last place in Auto Bild's 2015 final despite qualifying well in the braking shortlist. The tire's wet bias is evident-excellent straight-line aquaplaning and solid braking shortlists-while dry handling/braking and overall balance limit final standings in modern, broader test batteries.
