Highlights

Aquaplaning

Like its sportier sister, the RainSport 3, the RainExpert 3 relishes the rain. With its Shark Skin Technology, featuring longitudinal grooves and innovative tread structure, it minimises water turbulence and quickly channels water away. So while you're enjoying precise handling on wet roads, it's protecting you from aquaplaning.

Grip

The RainExpert 3 has a flow-optimised asymmetrical tread structure and a tread compound that has been specially developed for strong grip in the wet. It features large outer shoulders, with lateral stiffness, for high grip while cornering.

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

Fuel economy

The tyre’s tread pattern has been designed for an optimised contact patch with the road, leading to reduced friction and a lower rolling resistance on all road surfaces (the energy needed to keep your tyres rolling at a steady pace). This low rolling resistance will save you money at the fuel pumps.

Test Reports: Uniroyal tested by independent tyre experts

‘Good safety reserves in aquaplaning, good lateral stability and well-balanced handling in the wet.’

Eighteen summer tyres took part in the AutoBILD test. The test criteria evaluated the performance on a wet course (longitudinal aquaplaning, lateral aquaplaning, handling, circular track, braking), on a dry course (handling, braking, ride comfort, pass-by noise) and analysed costs (lifecycle, overall lifecycle costs, rolling resistance). The Uniroyal RainExpert 3 impressed the testers with good results on wet road surfaces.

EU tyre label

1. Wet grip

The wet grip rating indicates how well the tyre will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.

2. Fuel efficiency

Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tyres deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing all the way down to class E.

3. Noise level

This is the external rolling noise generated by the tyre, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A down to C.

Additional pictograms for snow and icy conditions

In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tyres only).

With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your tyres.
