The Uniroyal Rain Sport 1 summer tire is one of the successful attempts by the renowned North American manufacturer to create an ideal rain tire that stands out with excellent operating characteristics at a democratic price. This model is available in 24 of the most common sizes, ranging from 195/45R14 to 275/35ZR18. This speaks to the wide applicability of the tire - from compact city cars to powerful sports coupes.
The tread of this tire features a very aggressive symmetrical pattern, which is distinguished by an original design reminiscent of a double "V". The tread pattern of this model consists of a central part and two shoulder zones. The central part of the tread, thanks to the numerous diagonal drainage channels, consists of a multitude of separate blocks of sharp-angled shape. Due to this design solution, it was possible to ensure a larger contact patch area and a phenomenal drainage system in terms of its effectiveness.
As a result, the Uniroyal Rain Sport 1 tire behaves excellently on both dry and wet asphalt. At the same time, this model perfectly resists aquaplaning when moving at a very high speed. In addition, thanks to the numerous sharp edges formed by the large number of separate blocks in the central part of the tread, the tire demonstrates excellent acceleration and braking efficiency in any road conditions.
To ensure excellent handling characteristics when cornering, the shoulder zones of the tread of this tire have a reinforced design. The shoulder zones are distinguished by an increased width, and the surface of their blocks is equipped with special lamellas, which additionally increase the stiffness of these tread elements. As a result, the tire, when cornering, steadily resists deformations that occur under the action of lateral accelerations, which allows cornering at a higher speed without compromising safety.
