though not a directional tire they have to be fitted the right way, the side that faces out is clearly marked, nice tire plenty of grip wet or dry, not too noisy important on my car due to minimum isulation, good handling overall a very good tire, good value

Having recently fitted 4 of these tires I must say I'm impressed, I have only done about 1000 miles so far but the all round improvement is noticeable, in both wet or dry conditions its actually a pleasure to drive the car again, the handling and grip on the old tires was frankly awful. I bought these new tires because of the reviews on this site, and am glad I did.

Bought these to replace a set of Hifly tires that came with the car when we bought it a couple of years ago. These still had 5 mm all round but Id never been happy with them particularly from the handling perspective whereby the car noticeably seemed to lean a bit even in gentle corners. Wet braking was poor with the Hifly tires and omg were they noisy on the road;- particularly in the dry. After reading various reviews and not wanting to spend too much I opted for the Uniroyal RainExpert3's - these came in at a reasonable £164 fully fitted for the set of 4 at my local garage. They have an interesting tread and sidewall pattern - I wouldn't call them good looking but they certainly aren't offensive to the eye by any means. Overall impression after 1000 miles is pretty positive - the handling is hugely improved with the car cornering more securely and the overall grip in the wet and dry markedly better;- the car feels a lot safer. Tire noise is significantly better too. I wish that I'd changed them earlier as I didn't realise how bad the Hifly's were by comparison and how significantly better all-round the RainExperts are for not much more money. I cannot comment on wear rate yet of course. Highly Recommended at the price.

Very good tire, best on wet roads. High wear is only bad thing. Will buy again!!

replaced 2 front bf goodrich g grip with rainexpert 3 for 100euros.now car runs so smooth and i really like this tires.on dry are great,on wet are superb.i put them 2 months ago so i dont really know how much will they last but i read that they wear fast.i think im okay for the next 2 years with this rainexpert 3.i may replace rear tires with these aswell.

Well these tires have replaced my set of winters now!
Very good in the dry for grip and exceptional in damp/greasy/wet conditions.
I can set the quattro up in the wet for the drive to progressivly go to the rear on roundabouts and drive the car out onto the straights no drama or fuss when I want.
Deal with standing water very well.
Wear masked by AWD but I think 12K from the most worked axel [front] easily achieveable.
Not a "sports" tire so if thats what you want then look elsewhere but rather a safe set of hands...

Needed to get off the concrete sidewalls of the P7's my Jag was delivered with and cannot believe the transformation since putting on these Rainsport 3's. Much smoother ride, dealing with poor surfaces and potholes sublimely. Fantastic in the wet weather.

Maybe not the ultimate turn in razor sharpness, but the positives far outweigh that minor negative for me.

I had Dunlop,Bridgestone,Continental... but this tire is amazing the Best tire i ve had.
Tire on dry is superb,on wet is even better!!!
Road comfort is great excellent noise cabine is minimum.
Next summer tire will be Rainexpert 4 and i would buy it definetly!

had rainsport 2 was very impressed with it .did step forward got rainsport 3.
what i can say dry grip not bad rs2 as better,nut on wet road omg unbelievable grip with rs3.wear no good no good but depend on driving style .i always driving hard.one bad point no grip at snow at all.when breaking on snow at 10 ml/h car wont stop sliding and i cant do anything about it.
