Dry weather drive even in wet weather

Dry weather drive even in wet weather Uniroyal is introducing its new tyre for high performance cars to the UK. The Rainsport 2 delivers outstanding performance and gives motorists greater safety in wet conditions when it is most needed.

Uniroyal’s trade mark V-shaped tread pattern efficiently disperses water from under the tyres so that it holds the road. The Rainsport 2 has an innovative 3D structure in the base and side of the tread grooves enabling rapid water dispersion. An even ground pressure distribution is achieved through the use of a curved V-shaped tread rib. This means the maximum amount of rubber is in contact with the road surface allowing shorter braking distances in both wet and dry conditions.

The Rainsport 2 exceeds the mileage capabilities of its predecessor with its unique wet weather silica compound. To maximise the tyre’s mileage potential three indicators have been placed on both the inner and outer shoulder. Incorrect track alignment and camber settings are identified if the indicator grooves are unevenly worn. Poor wheel alignment is identified and rectified early as a result the motorist can gain higher mileage through avoiding uneven wear.

The Rainsport 2 builds on the success of its predecessor by improving in mileage capability, straight and curved aquaplaning protection, braking on both wet and dry roads and its overall handling.

The Rainsport 2 is available in 14 to 19 inch wheel sizes from all good tyre stockists. For more information on the Uniroyal brand, visit uniroyal-online.co.uk.
