RainSport 3

Aquaplaning

The RainSport 3 is our latest generation tyre featuring Shark Skin Technology. Inspired by its marine namesake, the tyre has a flow-optimised tread structure that minimises water turbulence and aids fast water drainage. You'll experience optimum aquaplaning protection and peak performance in the wet.

Awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, judges praised its innovative technology and its clear, unique performance promise. 

Handling

Its special tyre pattern increases the tyre's contact area on wet roads so you can zip around with confidence, steering in total control.

The RainSport 3 is rated grade A on the EU Tyre Label for wet grip, indicating the highest possible performance in wet and rainy conditions. 

Grip

Fast Curve Configuration and flexible tread blocks increase the area in which forces are transmitted to the roads. So, even when you take a corner at speed, the RainSport 3 will keep its grip.

‘The Uniroyal RainSport 3 is a specialist in the wet and impresses with best aquaplaning performance. Its braking distances are short. It also delivers stable and safe handling in the wet, short wet and dry braking distances and low rolling resistance.’

In the AutoBILD summer tyre test, 50 tyres first had to pass a safety check in the qualifying round. Only the 15 candidates with the shortest braking distances reached the next round. In the final rankings with a VW Golf as a test car, the Uniroyal Rainsport 3 particularly impressed the testers with its excellent performance on wet roads.

‘The Uniroyal RainSport 3 exhibits ‘relatively low fuel consumption’.

This year, the ADAC tested sixteen 225/45 R 17 Y summer tyres. The test included various different models from all tyre classes. The tyres were tested on a VW Golf 7. The Uniroyal RainSport 3 was awarded the rating 2.8.
