RainExpert 3

I have been very happy with this choice over the last 18k miles. I was looking for a tyre with excellent grip in the wet and gentle breakaway characteristics at the limit and these Uniroyals have exceeded my high expectations. They make driving in poor conditions secure, safe and enjoyable. Aquaplaning resistance is excellent. Likewise rolling comfort is at least as good as any other tyre of this size that I have tried. Even now down to 2.5mm of tread they still feel unusually grippy and secure in wet or low temperature situations. In the dry there is less trade off than you might expect. They feel like a regular summer tyre that is maybe 2psi under the recommended pressures - a little bit soft in response and ultimate grip but this is only an issue if you are really pushing it hard. Unlike other bad weather tyres there is no tendency for the rubber in the shoulders to wear rapidly and shed chunks of rubber when pushed very hard in the dry. The only area that could be improved is wear rate as they are down to my limit of 2.5mm after 18000 miles whereas a summer tyre should last at least 25k in my use. A small price to pay for their fine all-weather performance.

Wet Grip: Excellent!
Dry grip: Very good
Comfort: Excellent! After 24 years my old Atos feel like a premium one!
Rolling Resistance: The only "downside". This tyre has a serious grip that make me push the pedal a little more.
Noise: Quiet but i use the car only in town.
P.S.: These tires are very soft so they need much air. I put 2.5 bar in fronts and 2.4 on rears and this helps reduce the "floaty" feeling when there is windy weather. Will buy again!

I drive a Seicento Sporting but due to lack of good tyres in 165/55r13, I have chosen to go to 155/65r13 which is a dimension with more and better choices. Uniroyals Rain Expert 3 were chosen based on their wet handling and small price difference compared to budget tyres. I also tend to choose newer designs thinking that there must be some improvement compared to older designs offered by the same manufacturer or by other brands (I had Barum Brillantis 2 before the Uniroyals)
I am satisfied with this choice as it provided what I was expecting, good wet handling and decent dry handling accompanied with little wear (allthough that was never going to be a problem with a light and underpowered car like the Seicento). I miss the feeling that the lower profile tyre provides but I drive a little less aggressive as I get older. Will I buy them again? It depends whether there is a better tyre in 155/65r13 or a safe tyre in 165/55r13 when they have to be replaced.

Decent tyres, a bit noisy... but I have been burned by my experience with this tyres and I would like to warn others.
If you get in need to substitute an Uniroyal tyre, be prepared to huge trouble. As soon as a new line comes out, spares for the old one disappear from the market. I have some practically new Rainexpert 3 tyres and I am now forced to throw them away, because the Rainexpert 5 line has come out (just one year ago) and it is now impossible to find a spare for the Rainexpert 3. This is ridiculous. In the past I have been able to easily find replacements for Michelin, Pirelli, Nokian, Hanhook tyres that had been replaced by a newer line many many years before, and now I am having the car stuck for over a month because just because Uniroyal (and evidently their father company Continental) does not think it worth supplying spares for items that were bought only quite recently. How reliable! So yes, my tyres have run only for 2000km, but this is already an end of life review.

Excellent tyres. I got these as a birthday gift, believe it or not, last year and they absolutely changed the ride and handling characteristics on my Sunny for the better. I always knew with a good set of tyres it will be a good handling, quiet and comfortable car, but I was totally shocked when I fitted these.
The wet/damp grip is phenomenal, the best I've had so far. In these conditions, they really do shine. There is no squealing or loss of traction, even with some fairly quick and less forgiving getaways from junctions. Even when you give it a little more around a corner, the cars feels like it's on rails. I feel very safe using these in the rain. I really enjoy driving in damp conditions now, as the tyres really show their worth. I think the designers at Uniroyal hit the nail on the head. The dry grip is honestly amazing too, but they seem a little more at home in the damp, which is more often than it is dry in the UK and most of Northern Europe. There are no traction issues in the dry and I can rarely get these to squeal, even when I do dump the clutch a bit to get going. It still handles like it's on rails in the dry and the traction is perfect.
The road noise generated from these tyres is pretty low and they offer nice comfort too. Before my car had cheap nasty tyres with very soft sidewalls. The ride was bumpy and very unsettled sometimes. Now it is smooth and made the car even more comfortable than it already was (reasonably forgiving suspension, comfy seats). They have lasted me a good while now and are still in great shape. Nowhere near the halfway mark yet! For the price, you really can't get anything better. I have family who now use Uniroyal and say the same thing, a little cheaper than the big boys, but keeps them humbled.
