Product description & features
Uniroyal have developed the RainExpert 5 to deliver an impressive wet weather performance.
Advances in their 'Shark Skin' technology and 'Aqua-Twist' sipes have led to a greater increase in the level of surface water the tyre can remove from its path. Leading to great wet weather braking performances and reduced risk of aquaplaning.
A new, unique tread pattern has resulted in a significant reduction in cabin noise - for a quieter and more comfortable driving experience.
Improved mileage has been achieved via a newly formulated tread compound, for a more even wear rate over the lifespan of the tyre.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
