Uniroyal RainSport 3 Reviews - Page 19

Better than all Continental tires.
Only with this tire i feel safe.
I have perfect brakes and i have many months to see the ASR lamp on my dashboard.
I think is the BEST tire ( speed index V ) for cars 1.2 1.4 1.6
Heated quickly

Recomended !

Exceptional grip in the wet. Dry grip is good but when the tires are new you can actually feel the treads moving about.
Comfort and progressiveness are fine.
Wear is terrible, they are very soft compound and they need replacing after only 6000 moderately driven miles on the front of my car.

I bought these tires in Jan 2014 and the thread is officially below the legal limit in Oct 14. I cannot stress enough how AMAZING wet grip is. You should not worry at all driving in wet conditions with these tires. Some math: Drove these for a total of 16200 kilometers (10066 miles) at speeds between 120 kmh (75mph) and 180 kmh (112mph). Daily (mon-fri) they did 90km (56 miles), 99% on highway/motorway. I think if you give these tires a lot of daily punishment at high speeds, they will wear fairly quickly

had the 2s now got the 3s very good tire, very good in the rain i have over 300 BHP and the tires have no problem putting the power down, only thing is that im down to 3mm in 4000 miles but have got some more on now :)

I use these as wets on my race car, in standing water they will aquaplane like any tire but in mixed conditions are very good. Have to run sub 18psi to get them hot enough. They are not ideal on a drying track as they will overheat quickly and you will lose feel as they start to roll.

For a road car tire they would be excellent

These tires are an excellent all rounder. I replaced all four tires and the car is quieter, more responsive, sharper when braking and best of all so planted when I drive in the wet.
I would recommend these to anyone and everyone who wants a decent tire at a fair price. They are really very very good.

It is by far the best tire I used in terms of road performance either in dry or wet. It is quiet too. The wear however is unacceptable as after only 6k kilometres they are down to 5 mm of thread. Thus is for a small MPV with an automatic gearbox, so no wheel spinning or spiritual driving. If it wasn't for wear it would have been a perfect tire. Disappointed.

This really is a pretty great tire. After buying some alloys which came fitted with some horrific chinese ditchfinders that gave up as soon as there was one drop of rain I wanted something that was good in the wet but still gave good feedback and had some tirewall stiffness. On those fronts it doesnt disappoint.
Dry grip is akmost as good as the contisports I had last year but the wet grip is just amazing. I drove through the worst thunderstorms in europe this summer with no hint of aquaplaning or loss of grip. They are just mega.
Whats the catch? I can only assume they are of a crazily soft compound because they are down to 4mm after jut 3.5k. They'll need changing by 5k. Admittedly my caravelle has been fully loaded (3 tonnes) for most of those miles but it's also been continental motorway driving so i'm surprised they've worn so rapidly.
They may last longer on a lighter car or possibly on colder weather over the winter but at £140 a corner I think i'll try something else.

These tires are so good for the money. They are a real step up from budget brand tires and in the wet they are at least an equal to any high end tire out there. I'll probably never buy another tire again.
Highly recommended.

Cheap, but dont last 5 minutes!! Previously had Pirellis and Dunlops on my Alfa 159 which both lasted for more than double the mileage of the Uni. Next time I shall try BF Goodrich or Fulda Sport Control for price - wear ratio according to reviews. :( Uniroyal

after having a few sets of the rainsport 2's i moved to these when they stopped doing the 2's at first i didnt see much between the both the only difference is they last abit longer in terms of wear however the sidewalls although better still go too soft and even running a higher pressure they deform quite quickly, if they could make the sidewall stiffer they would have a winner all round wet grip to me is like dry grip cornering is good but the feedback and feel is a bit soggy and when you get near the limit it gives you and indication but not as much as the 2's did, overall i will be buying them again. (the only side not is when they get used for a while they tened to tramline abit i had my car tracked twice within a month and that was fine so like i said if it had a stiffer sidewall it would be 100%)

Best tires I've had on a car, having had Pirelli P Zero Nero Rossos and Potenza RE050s before, these are the best tires in terms of grip wet or dry. Really good feedback and turn in was much improved over the old tires. Also can cope with spirited driving and hard launches. Definitely would buy again.
