Product description & features
The RainSport 3 SSR is the latest-generation tyre to be designed by Uniroyal, it is ideally suited to high performance and sporty cars, smaller vehicles and SUVs.
The RainSport 3 SSR features ‘Shark Skin’ in-block grooves, which cuts through the tread blocks to efficiently drive water expulsion and guard against aquaplaning. A unique asymmetric tyre tread pattern, with an EU Tyre Label ‘A’ grade, ensures optimal road contact and steering control. Meanwhile, Fast Curve Configuration technology gives the tread blocks added flexibility for exceptional grip on cornering.
Finally, the RainSport 3 is a self-supporting runflat (SSR), allowing you to drive a further 50 miles at up to 50 mph in the event of a puncture – plenty of time to safely access the next garage.
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.
