Good tire for the price with superb wet road performance, tackles standing water with ease. Expecting the fronts to last for around 20k before replacing with the rears probably good for another 10k. Not on the same level as a Pilot sport or Sportcontact in overall performance/longevity, but quite a bit cheaper.

Retired my Bridgstones after several sets as not worth the money for average performance. Switched to the Rainsports 3's all round on my BMW 330D Touring some 7 years ago, won't use any other tire. Gives me so much confidence in the wet & dry, great grip, good wear rate also when exercising the 'Horses' to a good lather. The Rainsport 5's appear just as good, won't consider anything else for the money.

Responsive handling, not much roll resistance which provides an efficient ride. Surprisingly good and reliable in all conditions

Good against aqua planning, safe in wet conditions and pretty impressive on dry road. Genuinely satisfied and highly recommend

I got these to replace the OE Bridgestones fitted to my Lexus RC300h. I tend to favour comfort over on-the-limit grip because a) I only drive on public roads, not race tracks, b) speed cameras, c) have you seen the size of the potholes? and d) the strange whining noise from the front passenger seat if I start to “press on” too enthusiastically.
From the word go, the rainsports were a night-and-day improvement over the Bridgestones. Dry grip s superb - maybe not track day superb but perfectly good for a tight exit slip road off the motorway taken a little too fast for comfort. Although these are classed as summer tires I ran them through a very cold November and December with temps below freezing at times and had no issues at all. Similarly, the wet weather performance is quite incredible. The confidence they inspire in the wet is excellent.
My one gripe is that the tires have no rim protection. Er, that’s it. Everything else is a 10/10 from me. There may be “better” tires but these do what I need them to do, they’re brilliant in the wet, good enough to use all year round, comfortable and priced very competitively. I’d get them again in a heartbeat.

They grip well in wet conditions, but they don’t last long. They’ve only lasted 9,320 miles

The Uniroyal Rainsport 5 has proven to be an exceptional choice for those looking for a tire that offers superior wet weather performance without compromising safety on dry roads. I have been driving on these tires for several months and I am impressed by their ability to cope with weather challenges.

In the wet, these tires provide impressive traction. Water evacuation is efficient, providing confidence and stability even on slippery roads. I have experienced a noticeable improvement in vehicle control during heavy rain, which has made driving much safer.

What pleasantly surprised me is how these tires also deliver excellent performance on dry roads. Steering response is crisp, providing an agile and controlled steering feel. Cornering stability is outstanding, and the overall ride feel is smooth and comfortable. I didn't notice any understeer, although of course the tires always have to be inflated to the manufacturer's inflation range and the car's suspension must be correct, not to mention that you can't enter corners too fast, which is always the cause of understeer.

In addition, the Uniroyal Rainsport 5 XL tires I chose (225/45 R17 94Y XL) for my Hyundai i30 FB N line 30th Anniversary have proven to be the right choice for my car, providing extra load capacity that translates into safe driving even with heavier loads.

In short, the Uniroyal Rainsport 5's have exceeded my expectations by delivering outstanding performance in wet and dry conditions. They are a solid choice for those looking for versatility and safety all year round.

I live in Asturias in the north of Spain and this is a very rainy area compared to other parts of Spain. It has a similar climate to Britain and these tires are noticeable in wet conditions.

Post-Data: Those of you who criticise this tire very negatively should take a look at your navel and see if you drive too aggressively and that's why you have so many scares. Maybe you are paid by Michelin or GoodYear to kiss their asses. These overpriced brands are not a panacea.

I bought the tires 3 years ago and have been satisfied with almost all performance tires offered by the manufacturer. I drive them most easily in city conditions on dry and wet roads, but I know how to go with them on dirt roads as well. So far I have no negative comments. Recently I had the opportunity to drive at a higher speed than allowed, the contact between the car and the asphalt was at a level despite 3 years of use.

Had Uniroyal Rainsport 5 for 33000km so I’m considering wear to be really good. Other than that I would say that tires are good package. They are little bit slow to react compared to PilotSports or Asymmetric6. On the wet tires are really good especially for aquaplaning. Comfort is mainly noise level for me and in this matter Uniroyals are average.

I bought a 2020 BMW Z4 and it came with 4 of these fitted. On the drive home, I thought something was broken in the suspension. The car floated around like the wheels weren't connected. At 70mph, in the dry, these were SCARY and dangerous to drive with. The car wouldn't stay straight, and jumped around in my hands. Even at 50mph, they had so little grip, you could feel the car squirming. These lasted 300 miles before I had to take them off before I ended up in a ditch. Replaced with Pilot Sport 5's and they make the car handle as expected ... AMAZING! These things are the worst tires I've ever had on a car.

After almost 2,000 km in a 130 CV Hyundai Elantra, my impressions differ little from those previously mentioned. Correct grip in the dry, very good in the wet (the more water there is on the road, the better they are). What I like least is that the sidewall is too soft compared to my previous Hankooks, hence its good comfort but little information about what happens between the tires and the asphalt. In short, a correct tire in the dry (without sporting pretensions) and very, very good in extreme rain. I ride them because I got them at a very good price and the duration does not matter to me because I do 6000 km a year.

Used on big comfy softly sprung E-Class Estate - perfect for this use case. Excellent on wet rainy motorways, very resistant to aquaplaning and feel good on soaking wet backroads with puddles etc - typical UK weather and roads. Quiet, soft, have lasted very well (square setup is useful so I rotate front>back regularly to even out wear). Do not confuse these with a 'sporty' tire, they are far too soft and do not give the feedback required. I always use proper premium UHP tires on my more sporty cars, but for a daily commuter or ling distance car, these are excellent value. Reccomended.
