Here, it secured the 14th place. A comprehensive review by autobild 2024 compliments its Aquaplaning abilities and secure handling in wet conditions, although it does mark down for its somewhat weak grip in dry conditions. The Uniroyal RainSport 5 also secured the 5th position in the Autoklub ČR test, where it was praised for Aquaplaning – longitudinal.
To summarize, the Matador Hectorra 5 excels in providing comfort while the Uniroyal RainSport 5 shines in delivering outstanding performance in wet conditions, especially in Aquaplaning.
