Uniroyal has earned its reputation as the wet weather driving expert, but what allowed the RainSport 5 to set the current benchmark? We asked Uniroyal’s tyre specialist to find out.
What is it about the Rainsport 5 which allows it to truly ‘master the wet’? We sat down with Uniroyal Tyre’s Product Manager Scott Benbow to get the experts inside scoop.
Q: For those not already familiar with Uniroyal, could you tell us a bit about the brand?
A: Uniroyal brand was founded in the late 1950s under the joint name of Uniroyal-Englebert, and within a decade was renamed to just Uniroyal, as we know it today.
We were the first to produce a ‘rain tyre’, the first to recognise the water-deflecting properties of the directional V-shaped tread, and the first to use biomimicry in the development of our Shark Skin Technology.
Our tyre range caters for every individual need. So no matter what type of car you drive, where you drive or how you drive, we’ll have a tyre to suit you.
And our tyres don’t just perform well either. Thanks to their exquisite design, they look good doing it too. Every single groove has a purpose, every feature has been meticulously measured, and every compound has been perfected.
