The Uniroyal Rain Expert summer tire is one of the most successful attempts by the respected North American manufacturer to create a rain tire that boasts excellent characteristics and an attractive price. Since this model is produced in several dozen of the most popular sizes, ranging from 145/70R13 to 225/65R17, it is perfect for a huge number of modern small and medium-class passenger cars. In addition, this tire is distinguished by a high level of safety at high speeds, as evidenced by the speed indices assigned to it - from T to W.
Like most rain tires, this model features a V-shaped symmetrical directional tread pattern. Thanks to this solution, it was possible to achieve several important goals at once. In particular, the Uniroyal Rain Expert tire has a very large contact area, which has a positive effect on the reliability and stability of traction on dry surfaces. At the same time, the efficiency of acceleration and braking is ensured by a large number of sharp edges formed by the multitude of blocks located both in the central part of the tread and in the shoulder zones. Also, in the center of the tread pattern, the North American tire manufacturers have placed a longitudinal rib without any breaks throughout the tread. A distinctive feature of this tread element is the wavy edges, which contributes to an increase in the speed of water removal from the contact patch. In addition, such a profile of the central rib significantly reduces the level of resonant noise and vibrations that occur during movement.
Main features of the Uniroyal Rain Expert passenger tire

- excellent traction and braking efficiency on wet surfaces, thanks to the presence of specially designed micro-grooves arranged at a certain angle in the central part of the tread and in its shoulder zones;
- special indicators of uneven wear, located in the shoulder zones, allow for early detection of uneven wear.
