Uniroyal Rainsport 2

Used a number of different tyres but decided to give the Rainsport 2 a try after reading reviews. The grip in the wet is phenomenal and very impressive in the dry. Impreza's have a reputation for understeering under heavy load but with these tyres the understeer was eliminated to give very precise cornering even at high speed. Feedback was excellent and the grip never seemed to let go. Braking performance in the wet was excellent. The ability to shift water from the tread, and aquaplaning resistence is superb as I found out on a dual carriageway once when a couple of cars in front started to aqualplane when they hit some deep run-off from a field while my car kept it's grip and allowed me to stop quickly without causing an accident or losing any control. Great tyres, and highly recommended.

These tyres went on my front wheels to replace the factory fit continentals.

The wet grip is far better than the originals but otherwise I noticed little difference. I'm not a tyre nut, but I've not scarred myself by losing grip with these round corners!

The only thing that I was disappointed about was that they lasted only 18000. I've been used to getting more like 25000 per set (the continentals had gone a little more than that - and I'm only now replacing the original rear tyres at 45000!)

However, given that I can get 4 at 373 pounds (fitted), they might wear out about 20% faster but they are also about 20% cheaper than the continentals and they perform more to my liking!

These replaced the famed Michelin Primacy from which I managed to get 25K miles and thought they were a fantastic tyre. After reading reviews here I changed to Uniroyals because I wanted more ride comfort. These tyres are a revelation. Better all round and amazing comfort over potholed roads, compared to the Michelins. The car feels more solid and controlled, does not drift on fast sweeping bends and has a much more responsive turn-in; in addition to a more comfortable ride. Would highly recommend.

Bought to replace Continental Contactsport as fitted from new.
The Uniroyals are a 100% improvemnet. They are much quieter, more comfortable, and the steering has been transformed, no more tramlining and I feel as if I'm back in control.
Don't know about wear yet, but am delighted thus far(or as delighted as one could be with the dreaded low profile tyres!)

Great set of tyres! Been through many brands, these being far the best! Falkens were rubbish, needed changing every 6 months, not good grip at all!!!
Goodyear Eagle f1's were decent, but tracking wa out and tyres had to be replaced!
Toyo Proxes were the best on my MK3 16v GTI, until i got my hands on these! which are amazing for the price! Try them out, you wont be disappointed!

These tyres were fantastic in the wet and snow! never doubted them for a minute. In the dry they are not bad, but i have driven on other tryes, such as Continentals which inspire more confidence to really push on through the twisty bits. having read alot of reviews i'm off to try some Yokohama C drive, no doubt they will be worn out by the winter, so can then pick another wet weather tyre!

I bought these (x2 fronts) expecting great things. When I finally managed to get hold of a pair (easier said than done as most outlets don't seem to stock Uniroyal’s, favouring stocking the ‘Continental’ range instead), initially I was very pleased. The tread pattern was aggressive; the writing on the tyre wall was impressive ('The Rain Tyre') ... I couldn't wait to get some miles in; 15,000 (miles) & 12 months later and I'm on the legal limit ... Time for a new set. Did they enhance my enjoyment of driving? Not especially. Am I pleased with Rainsport 2? I was hoping for a few more miles. But, they haven't punctured, and they did cope with all the snow we had in January 2010, so overall, I am reasonably happy. However, I wouldn't go to the same lengths (as I did last time) to get another set. When the time is right, I'll go to my local tyre retailer and take whatever premium tyres they've got in the size I need.

Good tyre, better than the original Bridgestones. Bought based on the ratings left here but overall not impressed. Good grip but wear and noise are unacceptable. Rear tyres outer edge tread blocks worn into wedge shapes causing very bad noise, like wheel bearings had failed. Replaced worn fronts with Pilot PS3s and swapped front to back, now front bearings sound worn, but it's the tyres!!
