For ultra-powerful, high-performance cars

Kim Adams' Verdict:

'I have driven this tyre on everything from a Porsche 911 to a 350bhp Ford Mustang at tracks as diverse as a soaking handling circuit and the home of the Spanish GP but whatever the conditions it remains mightily impressive. With powerful machines like these you need a progressive tyre that gives plenty of warning when the limit is being approached and the SportContact™2 delivers in both dry and wet inspiring you to use all the performance available.' Kim Adams writes for Auto Express magazine

The two central grooves of the NS-2, along with the v-shaped tread of the tyre, improve the drainage of water on the tyre surface and hence reduce the risk aquaplaning.

When dry, the v-shaped tread ribs ensure a uniform pressure distribution so that the entire contact surface of the tyre can be used for power transmission.

Computer similated V-shaped drainage sub-grooves increase resistance to hydroplaning at high speed running through deep water.

Two-in-one pitches and variable width tread profile help to reduce pattern noise and provide a quieter comfort.

Shoulder edge sipes ensure even and prolonged tread wear.

More miles and more economy - driving without limits

For sporty driving in all vehicles classes. Exceptionally good in all driving conditions.

The Bravuris 3HM delivers what the affix 'HM' promises: High Mileage!
Thanks to minimal wear you can be sure to go further - with regard to mileage as well as superb driving comfort.

The Bravuris 3HM is a well-balanced tire that perfectly combines greater mileage with confident handling in all driving situations, offering extraordinary value for money.

• Higher mileage due to reduced wear rate, even wear shape and reduced friction energy
• Precise handling and safe driving on winding roads
• Good directional stability
• Short wet braking distances

Precise handling and good directional stability on winding roads.
The high lateral stiffness due to closed shoulders with macroblocks lead to a superb transmission of lateral forces at minor steering angles. The effect of excellent handling on winding roads is complemented by intermediate ribs which guarantee good directional stability.

Short wet braking distances.
The large number of gripping edges provided by sipes and the high number of pitches improve the contact with the road surface. The state of the art tread compound also guarantees optimum adhesion and short stopping distances on wet road surfaces.

High mileage.
The wide, flat contour and a high number of pitches and sipes evenly distribute the pressure. The block deformation in the ground contact area is thereby reduced and the wear is low, which increases the mileage.

High Mileage

Feature: A wide, flat contour with a large number of pitches and sipes
Effect: Even pressure distribution and reduced block deformation on the ground contact area
Benefit: Higher mileage thanks to reduced and even wear

Dry Handling

Feature: High lateral stiffness thanks to closed shoulders with macro-blocks
Effect: Wide center and intermediate ribs support the transference of side forces at narrow wheel angles
Benefit: Precise handling and good directional stability on winding roads

Wet braking

Effect: State-of-the-art compound guarantees an improved grip on wet surfaces
Benefit: Short wet braking distances

Three-level groove

Surface phase increases rigidity and improves handling
Wide groove structure allows high water absorption and improved wet handling
Finned body improves wet braking because gripping edges interact with the road surface

Uniroyal RainSport 3 - The black shark

The new RainSport 3 – the latest-generation rain tyres.
The new Uniroyal RainSport 3 combines the best of two worlds to set a new standard in wet-weather performance. Its flowoptimised asymmetrical pattern optimally combines the benefits of asymmetrical and directional patterns. The result: maximum protection against aquaplaning as well as optimal grip when cornering and quiet interior noise throughout the tyre’s lifetime.

For compact-, middle- and upper-class vehicles and SUVs. Uniroyal offers more than 45 years of rain tyre know-how for optimum performance in the wet. High safety against aquaplaning. Rated as „recommended“ in the Auto, Motor & Sport summer tyre test 2014 (tested size 205/55 R16 V). It is the best tyre for longitudinal aquaplaning and wet handling.

Bionic: high-tech learns a lesson from nature.
The Uniroyal RainSport 3 is the first ever tyre to feature the completely new Shark Skin Technology. Uniroyal has transferred the unique flow-optimised quality of sharkskin to the surface structure in the longitudinal grooves of a tyre. Shark Skin Technology minimises turbulence, so that water can be channelled away more quickly – for maximum protection against aquaplaning.

• High aquaplaning safety
• Short braking distances
• High grip when cornering
• Quiet interior noise

High safety against aquaplaning. The new Shark Skin Technology and Ultimate Flow Structure optimise water flow. For the RainSport 3 the shark skin structure has been transferred to the longitudinal grooves of the pattern improving the aquaplaning safety.

Short braking distances on wet roads. Numerous grip edges due to a high volume of sipes improve the contact with the road surface. Due to extensive cushioning of the tread compound this leads to short braking distances on wet roads even in high braking situation.

High grip when cornering. Fast Curve Configuration provides the shoulder blocks high lateral stiffness for a direct transfer of the side forces. The flexible shoulder blocks enlarge the ground contact surface. Both lead to high grip when cornering on wet and dry roads.

Star Performer SPTS AS

The Star Performer SPTS AS is the successor to the AS and has been improved compared to the predecessor model. So the tyres should satisfy the different weather conditions. This succeeds as the customer reviews on Tyretest.com show. Several thousand testers give it high marks in all areas. The tyres not only have the M+S designation, but also the snowflake symbol, which officially classifies them as winter suitable.

The Star Performer SPTS AS is available in sizes from 13 to 19 inches. Thus drivers of all vehicle classes benefit of its excellent price-performance ratio. As a private brand of Delticom AG mytyres.co.uk can offer you products of this brand particularly favorable. Additionally you pay no shipping costs if you order more than one tyre. 

These are M+S and snowflake marked winter tyres, ideal for use in winter, having just the right amount of grip for both wet and dry surfaces. They also have a great price/quality ratio. Short braking distance, low noise level, heightened comfort, perfect traction and grip especially at high speeds. These tyres offer unequalled safety on wintry roads and in precarious weather.

Assymetrical tread pattern with all-round good qualities.

The ability to adapt at high speed, as well as when braking and accelerating is the eco. Precise handling in the curves due to the arrangement of the sipes. Safe drive when roads are wet. Low rolling resistance and increased mileage performance.
