I have had them for about 1 month and have covered 1100 km. I wear them on a relatively heavy car, a Mercedes C200 with a 2000cc engine. So far, they have left me satisfied in all conditions (wet and dry roads). However, for me, they make a bit more noise than I was used to with other tires, such as Michelin or Pirelli P7. Of course, they are equal or even better in performance and grip compared to my previous tires. As for their durability and potential wear, I will provide an update after a longer period of use. Overall, I highly recommend them for their grip and performance.

Do they reach the appropriate temperature quickly?
It is an excellent tire and superior in grip and especially in traction on wet surfaces, as well as in water dispersal (avoiding hydroplaning) compared to other more ... eco-friendly options. It is also strong in braking on dry and wet surfaces. It is harder compared to the wonderful Rainsport2 tires that I had previously fitted on the same car. I don't think its mileage performance will be an issue. I highly recommend it, given that it is also relatively affordable, without reservation.

Fanatical user of rainsport 3 who wore them twice on 2 cars and they were unbeatable... This particular model has nothing to do with the previous ones.. much harder.. no comparison in grip and braking with the 3... Generally, if you want a very soft tire for fast driving, I no longer recommend them.. for comfortable driving in wet conditions for city cars, they are great

Excellent tire. Very good grip on dry pavement. Comfortable, worry-free behavior on wet pavement, with "comfortable" driving. The fact that they wear out quickly requires changing the front and rear tires relatively quickly. I appreciated their performance, overlooked the fast wear, and chose them again for the Ford Focus

Top tires!!! I started buying this specific tire since the rainsport 2 era. It has NEVER let me down, not even now... The only downside (if we want to find something negative) is that it needs to be changed after 4 years due to the soft rubber, which causes corresponding wear and tear.

I have worn them on two different cars and I wouldn't change them for anything. I am very satisfied with the tires, they have good grip and in the rain it feels like the road is dry...

I put them on 12/08/2022 on a Citroen C4 Diesel and I have driven 4000 kilometers so far... I haven't seen any significant wear, but I will have an opinion at the first 10,000 kilometers. After all the premium brands, I conclude that none of them had the behavior of driving on wet roads as if driving on dry roads, and of course, perfect behavior on dry roads... for me, IF their wear and performance reach the mileage of the premium brands, I don't think I will choose any other brand in the future... (the tire is made in France).

I tried them 7 years ago on my Terios vehicles, on a Citroen Van, and now on an SUV type vehicle. I never had any problems, especially on wet roads. Even with advanced wear on dry roads, they had very good grip.

I have installed the tires for the first time a few days ago, so I don't have an opinion on wet performance or quick wear. They are excellent on dry roads and for noise. I will come back with time passing
They were installed before 1,000 km and for starters they are quite quiet compared to the Vredestain sport track 5 that I was very satisfied with and they hold up well in wet and dry conditions. However, I will come back after a few more km to see how they perform and handle. As of August 20, 2023, I am still using the same tires with +35,000 km and the noise has increased slightly, but nothing significant, just a little more than when they were new. Their grip is still very good even now that they have covered so many km and their wear is almost average. I believe I will easily get through this winter with them and I will replace them if they become worn or lose grip. I won't even discuss the next change, I will put the same ones again. I am completely satisfied, 5 stars from me, and I am a bit picky when it comes to cars and tires

Worn on an Opel Zafira OPC, I have been wearing them for 2 weeks in the rain and they are perfect, also in dry conditions. I will come back when I have driven more kilometers

Apart from the research I had done before buying them, today, after twenty thousand kilometers, I have to say the following. The tire performs as if it were dry even in heavy rain and with a lot of water on the road, the resistance of the water is not noticeable and it "sticks" both on wet and dry surfaces, even on a car without ABS. As for their quick wear, I currently have no opinion, but even if they wear relatively quickly, it does not concern me, as the most important thing for a car that does not have any mechanical-electronic assistance for braking.

I always used tires from the top 4 companies, I have worn them all. The rain sport tires are top-notch in terms of grip, I dare to say that they are equally good, or even a step above the Michelin pilot sport tires that I used before, which were excellent for 4 years, especially in the rain, until the end. However, they lacked in dry conditions. The Uniroyal tires are excellent both in dry and wet conditions and for now, in the same period as the Michelin pilot tires I had, they are clearly better in terms of performance and they also have a very good price.
