The rain expert for compact cars. Perfect protection for the wet!
The RainExpert is the perfect choice for compact cars. For greater safety in the rain with high economy—the best recommendation for everyone who drives a compact class car. A specialist for even greater safety on both dry and wet roads. Uniroyal offers more than 45 years of rain tyre know-how for optimum performance in the wet. High aquaplaning protection. Fits perfectly for example to Ford Fiesta, Renault Twingo and Alfa Romeo Mito.
Technical details:
- The expert for short stopping distances on wet and dry roads
- The long-life expert
- The anti-aquaplaning expert
High aquaplaning protection. Double-concave-shaped grooves and increased groove volume in the tread centre avoids water turbulence in the grooves and substantially improve water dispersion for high aquaplaning protection.
Long service life. Optimised stiffness distribution across the tread provides evenly low tread wear for a long service life. There is also a higher stiffness of the shoulder blocks providing a high degree of safety during critical steering manoeuvres.
Short braking distances on wet and dry roads. Directionally-inclined sipes in the tyre shoulders and tread centre improve the support for the lug halves during braking, leading to increased longitudinal tread stiffness. The braking distances on dry and wet roads become shorter.

Drove this tyre in the hardest rain I've ever driven in on Friday 3rd July 2015 North of London those who experienced this storm will probably remember.
Water was level with top of curb stones at times it was falling so heavily. It was very evident I still had control while those around me did not at times

Good tyre for wet road conditions in city traffic. Slightly noisy but safety outweighs.

Superb tyres these uniroyal rain tyres. Now have all our family cars on them, so no better recommendation for safety & grip. Yes, the sidewalls are a bit softer than other brands but the superb grip in all conditions outweighs this and once you get used to the feel of the slight flexing when changing direction sharply they are very predictable. Our family now have rain sports on all our cars, a mixture of RS2, RS3 & rain expert. All are superb and are great for the lower grip levels and lower temperatures encountered in Scotland.
