Description
RainSport 5 - Master the wet. The RainSport 5.
Safe driving even in the most challenging wet conditions
Extended tyre life for a long journey
Excellent control and steering response for maximum driving pleasure
Be safe even on rainy days in summer. The further developed Shark Skin Technology and the wide in-block-grooves disperse water out of the tread pattern, effectively reducing the risk of aquaplaning. Moreover, the innovative Aqua-Twist Sipes channel the water out of the tyre, leading to increased grip on wet and slippery roads.
Enjoy a long journey with the new RainSport 5. A newly developed tread compound guarantees low abrasion and the stiffer shoulders ensure even treadwear. The optimised tread design provides even pressure distribution on the contact surface, which leads to a higher mileage and an outstanding noise performance.
Take pleasure in every ride at a new level of sportiveness on dry roads. Through the stiffer base, the specially designed wide center ribs and its reinforced outside shoulder, this tyre truly delivers top cornering stability, great steering response and control for maximum driving pleasure – come rain or shine.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
