Comparison: Uniroyal RainSport 5 vs. Firestone Roadhawk vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4

When deciding between Uniroyal RainSport 5 and Firestone Roadhawk, it is crucial to consider all aspects and conditions, including the ground surface, the weather, and even the driving style. Both tyres have the same rating from us (72%), yet their performances vary depending on tests and conditions.


The Uniroyal RainSport 5 from Uniroyal seems to outrun the Firestone Roadhawk in conditions involving aquaplaning - longitudal and cross - as seen across numerous tests. Major strengths include safe handling on wet surfaces and quality aquaplaning properties. However, it does have its weaknesses, with complains regarding a weaker performance on dry surfaces, spongy driving behaviour, and a reduced side guide on dry tracks. The tyre also shows considerable weakness regarding environmental balance and sustainability, and its durability and fuel efficiency are subpar.


Firestone Roadhawk, on the other hand, manufactured by Firestone, delivers a solid performance on dry surfaces. It has been complimented for its dynamic handling and short dry braking distances. It also is well-regarded as a value-for-money tyre, despite an increased rolling noise. Its performance on wet surfaces leaves more to be desired, and its lifespan could be better.


In shared tests, the Roadhawk ranked higher on average. In Autobild, it was in 10th place compared to RainSport's 19th position out of 53 tested tyres. In Autoklub ČR, the Roadhawk ranked 11th, while RainSport 5 was 5th out of 19. In the ADAC test, RainSport 5 came 31st in the leaderboard, with Roadhawk higher up in 20th position out of 50 tyres.


In conclusion, the RainSport 5 excels in wet conditions, particularly in regards to aquaplaning, although fuel efficiency and dry performance needing improvement. With Roadhawk, dry conditions are where it shines, presenting good efficiency and low wear, yet its performance on a wet surface and lifespan could do with some work. Both tyres have their unique strengths, thus the selection comes down to personal preference and driving conditions.
