When comparing the Uniroyal RainSport 5 and the BFGoodrich Advantage summer tyres, it’s evident that each tyre has its strengths and weaknesses. The Uniroyal RainSport 5, a product of Uniroyal, has an overall rating of 64% while the BFGoodrich Advantage, manufactured by BFGoodrich, scores slightly better with a rating of 68%. Neither of these tyres have newer models that have replaced them.
The Uniroyal RainSport 5 shines in conditions involving aquaplaning, with its best features being cross and longitudinal aquaplaning resistance. However, the tyres demonstrated significant weaknesses during dry handling conditions. Furthermore, they tend to consume a high amount of fuel and their wear-life is on the lower side. The Uniroyal RainSport 5 also has apparent weaknesses in terms of environmental footprint and sustainability.
On the other hand, the BFGoodrich Advantage excels in dry handling and overall comfort. One of the distinctive advantages of the BFGoodrich Advantage tyre is its fuel efficiency, implying lower fuel consumption. Moreover, the tyre provides stable driving and short braking distances on dry roads, contributing to safe and appealing driving dynamics. The tyre managed to secure the 9th position out of the 15 tyres in the ADAC test, standing out for its fuel efficiency. However, these tyres demonstrate a tendency towards understeering in wet conditions and show elongated braking distances when driving on wet surfaces.
In a roundup of test results, the BFGoodrich Advantage tyre outperforms the Uniroyal RainSport 5 overall. Especially in the Autobild test, where the BFGoodrich Advantage took the 18th position out of 53, beating the Uniroyal RainSport 5 which secured the 19th place. However, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 performs impressively in aquaplaning scenarios, marking it as a reliable choice for driving in wet conditions.
In conclusion, the BFGoodrich Advantage appears to be the better choice in terms of dry handling, comfort, and fuel efficiency, while the Uniroyal RainSport 5 is a strong contender in aquaplaning scenarios. It is crucial to choose the right tyre based on individual driving habits, typical weather conditions faced, and personal preference.
