“Odlicne. Malo se brze trose ali drže ko lude. Imao 2 seta rainsport 3 i jedan set rainsport 5. Nažalost, na novom autu je dimenzija u kojoj nema rainsporta tako da uopce ne znam sta da kupim”

Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community sentiment towards the Uniroyal RainSport 5 is largely positive, with frequent praise for its outstanding wet grip, comfortable ride, and solid value as a mid-range tire. While many drivers consider it an ideal option for wet climates and light hot hatches, several users note that it wears out relatively quickly compared to premium alternatives.
“Michelin PS4/PS5 Vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs Uniroyal Rainsport 5? Thanks again for you oil related answers! Looks like my front cheap dealership tyres need to be changed and I have decided to go for a much better performance oriented tyre. I have limited my options down to these 3 as per recommendations among other owners and reviews I've read. Although they all seem to be very evenly matched to one another. I noticed the price is where they differ. The Uniroyals, although well sued and recommended among the community (including the tyre saleswoman who has a wrx), are €90 a tyre which isn't so bad. The goodyears are €97 per tyre and finally the Michelins are the most expensive at an impressive €122 for PS4's and €130 for PS5s. Is the price hike worth it? or would it better to settle for the more affordable but still capable goodyears and Uniroyals? my GTI is my daily and fun car so something capable of both would be great thanks!”
“Uniroyal rainsport 5 Ciao a tutti, Ho un dubbio: sto montando i pneumatici indicati sul titolo ma, pur non avendo un disegno speculare tra interno ed esterno non indicano il verso di rotazione. E’indicato solo interno ed esterno. Allego foto pneumatico anteriore dx. È indifferente se questo pneumatico l’avessi montato sulla parte anteriore sx ? Read more”
“Advice on tires Hey r/tires ! The all-season tired I have on my car atm are nearing the end of their life. And I wanna use this opportunity to switch to summer and winter tires.

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
