I'm very pleased with the Uniroyals Rainsport2, it's amazing the difference you get by changing all the tyres. The old ones were quite worn and I hadn't realised just how much this had effected the handling. These give good grip and are very good in the wet.
They call Uniroyal Tyres the "Rain Tyre", I can see why now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
A good tyre at a reasonable price.
This tyre is made by "Continental"

The best tyres I have used so far and they offer so much grip and control in all conditions. And my driving style is very spirited.

Had these fitted to the front of my Civic Type R to replace some very badly worn Toyo Proxes T1-R.
Initial impressions are very good, excellent grip in the wet and even better in the dry.
Comfort and road noise are reasonable for the size of the tyre and the feedback is very good.
Can’t really comment on the wear rates so I will report back once these near the end of their life to see if I’m as impressed with them.
So far so good, thumbs up for me and I would recommend these tyres!

Excellent tyres even though a bit pricey, good dry and wet weather grip. Good dry and wet weather braking and very progressive on the limit. Nice stiff sidewalls keeps the car smooth through corners. A very good tyre.

After a while skidding and sliding with factory standard RE040s on my Civic R, I plumped for these due to the good reviews. My god, they are SO much better! Wet weather performance is like night and day compared to the Bridgestones. Not a hint of wheelspin in the wet and very grippy in the dry. The walls are a little softer than RE040s but provide a smoother and quieter ride. I'm fully used to this difference now and its not a problem. I would definately recommend this tyre for FWD cars which need all the grip they can get!

Very good dry grip although sidewall is a little softer than the OEM RE040 potenza's leading to flex on cornering. A slight increase in tyre pressures to 34 front and 32 back seemed to solve this. In the wet they are much better than the potenza even when worn. I used to be scared driving away from the lights or pulling out of junctions when it rained because the potenza's would spin up at the slightest provocation. They would also aquaplane quite badly and made for nervous motorway driving. Proxes are very sure footed in the wet. Wear has been particularly good although 80% of journeys are motorway. Overall a very good all round tyre, not quite as good as the potenza in the dry but much better and safer in the wet.

Second type R bought ten tyres so far, set of 4 £365 fitted. Excellent grip dry & good wet, get about 8000m fronts 18000m rears could be better. For price/grip would recommend.

My drive is a Honda Civic type R(japan version)
the tyre come with stock, it did so marvellous in dry and also when attacking the corner with high speed... done so well in grip!!
but unfortunately it was too hardcore and uncomfortable for daily use.
