Conclusion: If you have a hot hatch and enjoy spirited driving, avoid these like the plague! Probably ok for a Sunday driver with a car that won't exceed 30mph anywhere. I've got Rainsport 5's fitted on my Clio 172 Turbo with Speedline 2118s so tyre size is 195-50-15's......I absolutely detest them

Very precise steering and high cornering grip in the wet. Very quiet. Does the business on dry tarmac too

This is a second report due to the tyres nearing the end of their life. They have improved in terms of dry grip as they have worn, but unfortunately the numb, squishy handling has remained. Wear has been good but not fantastic, I managed 12000 miles on the rear of my 220bhp BMW in normal driving. Comfort was decent with them, the sidewalls are quite soft. These would suit a car driven steady, or for commuting but as a performance tyre they are somewhat lacking. I am looking at going for Goodyear or Michelin for the replacements.

Very good on dry. Not bad cornering and impeccable handling, the Uniroyal rain sport 5 is consistently great in the wet and in the snow, the tyre is a little less convincing when pushing it to the limits but provides sufficient safety

I have to say I’m very impressed with the uniroyal rain sport 5’s, previously having the rain sport 3 I decided to give these a go. It’s hard to tell if they are better than the predecessor but it’s surely just as good! Wet grip is incredible and on dry it handles very well, it’s made out of soft compound so they wear out after around 14k miles but what you expect from such grippy tyres. Good on fuel and definitely worth the price

Poor road feedback. Poor handling.

Really like this tyre Dry grip, its not the best outright grip and when giving it full the brakes you can feel the unusual tread pattern is ideally suited to heavy braking however cornering and forward traction feels very good and the its a tyre i really like driving on, always lets you know what its doing i feel and never catches you out. Big improvement over the rainsport 3 i feel in the dry. Wet grip is very good on these tyres never have an issue with grip at all. Good for everything in the wet, really cant say more than that. Comfortwise the tyre I'd say is pretty average noise wise but i like the comfort of them my audi has slightly crashy suspension and these really have softened them up a bit. tyre life seems pretty good as well looking at them now after 5000 miles and ive got 5.5 mil left which for my driving is pretty good.

Got them for my Focus, thy stick great in wet,they do the job in dry,as long you don't push them to the edge.cos of the soft edges. One thing however is so bad ,and that is wear... I've done 16 000 km /10 000 miles,and they are gone. One mil away from wear indicator, meaning they won't last two seasons. So if you do low mileage,good buy,but if you drive a lot of km as I do,buy something more durable.

This is the second summer I am driving with rainsport5, i had bigger expectations. The tires are very slippery on dry road, I haven't driven before with such slippery tires. On wet road the tire is good, even better than on dry. The plus is that they are silent and doesn't wear much. I have around 20K kilometers with them. To be honest I wouldn't buy this tires again, I just feel the car insecure with them. P.s. I've changed a lot of things on the suspension, because I thought that the problem was with the car, but with winter tires it's different. Wouldn't reccomend, it's not worth the price.
