Black Friday 2026 arrives on 27 November, just as autumn rain gives way to winter. Blackcircles.com's
Black Friday tyre offers will appear on our deals page when they launch.
That timing suits
Uniroyal, a brand that has built its name on tyres for wet roads. Uniroyal is one of our
mid-range tyre brands.
In this guide you'll find the brand's background, five popular Uniroyal tyres for cars and vans, and answers to some frequent Black Friday questions.
Uniroyal: The Rain Tyre Specialist
Uniroyal's roots go back to 1892 in the United States. In Europe, including the UK, the Uniroyal tyre brand is owned by Continental, while in North America it belongs to Michelin.
The brand has concentrated on wet-weather performance for decades, and “Rain” appears in the name of most of its summer models. The current range also includes
all-season and winter tyres, plus a family of van tyres.

Uniroyal Black Friday Deals: FAQs
Do Uniroyal tyres go on sale on Black Friday?

Why are Uniroyal tyres known as rain tyres?
Uniroyal has specialised in wet-weather tyres for decades, and most of its summer range uses “Rain” in the name. Its tread patterns are designed to clear water and resist aquaplaning.
Should I choose the AllSeasonExpert 3 or the WinterExpert?
The AllSeasonExpert 3 suits most UK drivers who want one set of tyres all year. The WinterExpert makes more sense if you face snow and ice regularly and are happy to swap tyres each season.
