Uniroyal RainSport 3 SSR 205/55 R16 91W
Technical specifications
Description
The high-performance tyre for powerful motor vehicles and high-performance SUVs.
The RainSport 3 convinces with top performance in braking, handling and high aquaplaning safety.
- High safety against aquaplaning
- Short braking distances on wet roads
- High grip when cornering
With its flow-optimized, asymmetrical tread, the Rainsport 3 offers a high level of protection against aquaplaning, precise handling on wet and dry roads, uniform abrasion, and comfortable driving behavior. The engineers also took their lead from nature. The skin of a shark is known for its ability to considerably reduce flow resistance.
For the RainSport 3, a structure based on the placoid scales of a shark's skin has been incorporated in the grooves of the tyre. Shark skin technology (SST) reduces flow resistance and accelerates water drainage from the tyre's contact surface.
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)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more
