Thanks for the review be it 4 years on from when you did it been looking at thses for my e class and as I'm only acroos the water in rainy Ireland these look like they'll do the job. Thanks mate💪
Thanks for the review mate. Greetings from Romania. Had Uniroyal RainSport 3 on a Ford Focus MK1 estate which was driven very hard. In 2 seasons (summer seasons that is) and aprox 15.000 km the inner and outer flanks of the tires were badly worn out (center side of the tire still had 1-2mm over the wear indicators). Bought afterwards RainExpert 2 but drove those only for a season, afterwhich I sold the car. Overall good tires. Now I bought the Uniroyal RainSport 5 for my W203 C Class Estate and waiting to see how they handle and feel. Paid 1000 lei for all for which is equivalent by today's rates to 189 GBP from which I paid for shipping about 10 GBP. I bought them in 205/55/16 91V size.
Great tyres !! I mean they do wear down slightly quicker than most expensive tyres hence why they are not classed as premium tyres but they are amazing tyres, they perform just as good and sometimes even better. Amazing tyres. I highly recommend. And for those who didn't know, Uniroyal tyres are manufactured by Continental. Top brand
I run rs3’s on my mk1 audi s3 and love them! To battle the soft sidewall i run a higher tyre pressure and this has also aided in keeping the tyre wear even! My car is on coilovers and poly bushed and handles like a dream
Thanks for the great review buddy and nice to see some real situations out to test , I had rain sports 3 on my ST and yep same thing grippy but unfortunately shoulders let me down . Purchased a new car Subaru Impreza WRX and it's got ditch finders on it currently so was looking at these and help me make my mind up so going to get some asap
Just ordered some rain sport 5s in 265/35/18 for my E350CDI estate. I had the rain sport 3s before for my Lexus IS250 and I liked them a lot. People complain they are too soft , but they were fine for me, so I decided to check the new ones out. I currently run Pirelli P Zero front and rear , but I really do not like them , too noisy and the car is very unstable in the wet. I’m not a spirited driver, most of the time I drive on motorways and have my kids at the back anyway , so not so much worried about lack of sporty handling etc. I have my car mapped to 327 bhp and 720 Nm torque so regardless of what tyre I put on if I want to spin the tires I will. My only concern is the weight of the car , I’ve never had a car so heavy and I hope the tyre will be up to the job( I got the XL anyway). For me I rate safety more than any other aspect of the product. Water dispersion is by far the top of my list when it comes to safety . I worked as a policeman for 4 years and I’ve seen more incidents as a result of this than anything else. Regarding the video, well done mate , to the point nice and honest. Real world car in a real world scenario .
Taking these off tomorow and fitting a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4's. They've worn much better than the rainsport 3. And infact are being removed whilst still 3mm+ all over after covering about 14 thousand miles.
How does Michelin Pilot Sport 4 compares to Uniroyal RainSport 5? Someone wrote that RS5 is pretty good in dry and excellent in wet, while Pilot Sport 4 is better in dry and better all around tyre but not quite as good in wet as RS5. Do you agree or not?
I previously had rainsport 3 on my mk 4 golf gti turbo and I can say for uk most of the time rain roads it instilled a lot of confidence in my driving in the wet. The rs5 pricing is very attractive at £155 for 19 inch rim.
How are the RS5s for this type of weather we’re having now (cold and damp)? I’m considering getting a set as my stock tyres are all but “EfficientGRIP”. I want something that would be suitable for this weather as it’s otherwise a bit sketchy
I’ve been a big fan of the R S 3’s for many years, and also had problems with the inner shoulders wearing pretty fast (on a lowered Accord Type R). Just ordered the 5’s so hopefully they’ll be an improvement 👍🏼
@@Fiatagri60170 I've been happy with them. The grip is good, and the wear has been move even than the RS3's. I've not done as many miles as I normally would due to working from home but I'd replace them again with RS5's when I need to.
I've used Rainsport 5's on the front of a Focus ... a safe experience in the wet and for me that's where it counts. My CRV (bought 12 months ago) has worn Kumho SUV's on the rear and good Landsail SUV's on the front. Are the 5's a good chice for me and where would you put the new tyres - front or rear?
ive used rainsport 3,s for years i find they wore down very fast , however i found that running them at a high psi , 39 psi , gave perfect even tyre wear, and i still got great grip, and better mpg, i also found they are noisy, but who cares when you are this safe with them on, i - like you have now got the rainsport 5 on there way, and im hoping for better wear, but with soft tyres i suspect they will be pretty much the same, and with good grip im alright with that,
Good review buddy..had rs3 on previous cars been impressed for the price vs performance and water dispersion safety side. For a start these have an extra shark tunnel an other bits so may try them soon😊
I have rainsports 5 on my mercedes but the back tyres (255 35 R18) feels like a boat….they fittet on whoole new set on jr28 wheels Can someone explain me why does it feels like a boat
I would suggest inner edge wear on the back may be down to lowering, which likely increased your static negative camber. The central part wearing less, suggests you want to increase tyre pressures a few psi all round. If you are running a lower profile tyre than stock, you need to increase your tyre pressures, from the manufacturers recommended. If the rear camber is non-adjustable, see what aftermarket parts are available to sort it.
I run rainsport 3s all year round on a track prepped gt86. They are the best all rounder available. People complain about the soft side walls but theres nothing in it. Theyve never had a set. I dont care what the nay sayers say, they are awesome. Will be trying out the Rainsport 5s now mine are due. Good review thanks
I have noticed that the shoulder on the left front is worn out and the rest of the tyre has about 3mm on it. I think it’s due to roundabouts on left hand driving in the U.K. It’s just a theory as my car has the tracking regularly checked. Other than that I absolutely love these tyres for wet grip.
Looking at putting these on my golf4 pd150 just put some Santa Monica 17’s on and can’t get prada spec2’s in 225/45 anymore so these will replace the Chinese crap that are currently on the wheels good vid btw 👍🏼
I don't know if the sidewall on RS5 is any stiffer than RS3. Somewhere, in a customer review, I read that indeed they are. But personally, even with the RS3 i didn't had any problem at all. The secret with tires that have very soft sidewalls is to add more air pressure. In my Uniroyal RS3, i always use 40psi, instead of the normal 32psi. The car responds faster, it grips amazing on the street, and you eliminate the problems that can be caused by the soft sidewalls.
How do you compare hardness of sidewalls of rainsport 3 and 5? All opinions tells that 3's have very soft sidewalls amd feeling wobbly when fast driving. Are 5's better?
had the rain 3 and rain 5 for years , and they wear down very fast the 3 wears faster than the 5, but both are very fast, i might try something else next- nankangs maybe
I have had a pair of RS 2’s on the back of my golf mk4 gti for 77,000 miles - 7 years. They still have plenty of tread left! . Nice even wear ( I put 34 psi in them). Need to change because of age. (Pass every MOT). Fronts only last 20,000 so am on RS3’s. Can’t fault these tyres for cost and performance.. especially in the wet.
@@Timborob still got car (2 years later ! ) rain sport 5 all round now and loving them. I only changed the rear r/s 2’s because of age- I think they would have done 100,000 easy. Mad!
@@scott48k21 That's incredible 😁 how did the RS3s look on the rear before you now changed to the 5's ?

@@bradshawsworkshop7735 Hi mate how many miles is that in with them? Had all four fitted today 215/45/17. Ordered from Demon Tweeks and a good deal. It's my first time on Uniroyals...always wanted some and saw the RS5 in my size. What were the 3s like in snow/ice? I have a celica Mk7 GT (the kitted one) and great car in dry through country lanes but deadly in the wet even at lowish speeds. So hoping these RS5s give me a little confidence through wet country lanes!
It's good you managed to find them in your size as they're only running limited sizes until 2020. Mine have been on a week, that's about 500 miles. The Rainsport 3's are still a good tyre, I have used anything other than the RS3 for the last 3 or 4 years! Snow and ice? Well, I tend to travel on gritted routes... Or at least I hope they're gritted 😂.
They will perform ok but take care of them.Change them once par year from rear to front and they will not get deformed.Is a classic problem of Uniroyal although maybe you bought the XL version.In that case the problem is less probable but my recommendation is the same.
do the uniroyal tyres have a valve stem dot on the tyres to line up the valve stem for balance? i have a set to put on my car but i dont see any light spot mark like other tyres i've had
The rainsport 2 and 3 had really soft sidewalls and the tyre rolls quite a lot when cornering. You can run a bit more tyre pressure to compensate but you can dial it out completely. So it does depend on the weight of the car but with the roll it causes ware on both edges of the tyres. Agree suspension geometry usually causes ware but in this case it’s the soft sidewalls.
I have just fitted a set of these to my BMW 1 series, and I am a bit dissapointed with them. Strangely they seem lacking in wet grip compared to the previous Goodyears and even the Falkens fitted to the Mrs car.
I will give that a try. I went for a drive today and they really do cut through standing water well, it is just the compound doesn't seem to grip the road all that well. Bear in mind the car is only a 2.0 diesel with 255 width rear tyres, it shouldn't spin the wheels or powerslide very easily if at all.
Just an update 3000 miles in, still not very impressed. They are ok, but just not exceptional and I just cannot feel confident when pushing on with them like I have with other tyres. I cannot really recommend them, for a car like mine at least.
Hi possibly a stupid question but which tread is the legal required one on the rain sport, I have above 3mm on the outside slanted treads but 2 straight lines on inside are close to 1.5mm, are the straights measured or just the slants on outside?
I have rainsport 3 on my tiburon, one of worts tires ever, like they arw made of rock, they slide on the dry, while fulda grab on the wet, pretty harf comparison
The main issue with Uniroyal tyres is I find is that the Goodyear Eagles are a better tyre in every regard and not much more expensive when taking into account how badly the previous version wore.
Hi Brendan. The sidewall does seem more rigid than the 3's (which I noticed when fitting) and the tread on the shoulders uniroyal claim is also harder.
@@bradshawsworkshop7735 depends on car spec. My rwd car needs 38 psi on factory wheels and tyres. If you star changing wheel specs and tyre sizes (not sure if you have) required pressure will also need to be adjusted, no? Or why else tge tyre wear uneven like that? Tracking issue would show differently like you other one, or could be due to both (incorrect pressure and tracking)?
@@bradshawsworkshop7735 Stock 55-60 profile tyres are recommended at 33psi, so you are only running 4 psi over that. Your wear pattern is telling you, that you need to raise higher.
Hey! I actually ordered a new set of tyres yesterday! I've done about 15k on these now and I'm impressed with how the shoulders have worn - the stiffer shoulders mean that they now wear evenly. I still have a few mm left on all of them but saw Michelin Pilot Sports 4's were only £20 dearer for a full set so I'm going to give them a go next. You won't regret choosing the RS5. Much better than the RS3 and the shoulders actually last!
I hate this tyre. It´s only a good rain tyre, but 0% sporty... You lose a lot of surface traction just for that rain dessign... If you want a rainy tyre, this tyre is perfect, if you want a sporty tyre, don´t buy it...
