If you're in the market for premium summer tyres, two options you may consider are the Uniroyal RainSport 5 and the Kumho Ecsta PS71. Both tyres have notable features and respectable ratings, with our site assigning a rating of 64% to the RainSport 5, and a slightly higher 68% to the Ecsta PS71.


Let's start with the Uniroyal RainSport 5. This is a UHP (Ultra High-Performance) tyre, well-regarded for its aquaplaning resistance. In both Autobild tests reported, the RainSport 5 stood out for its superior "Aquaplaning - cross" and "Aquaplaning - longitudinal" performance. You can learn more about this tyre on its product page, or visit Uniroyal's manufacturer page for more information about the brand.


On the other hand, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 also has its share of strengths. It has been praised in tests for its excellent wet handling and braking, as well as its comfort. It also holds a significant edge in autobild's 2023 test with a balanced high performance, good handling qualities, and short wet and dry braking distances. However, it is noted to have increased drive noise. Check out the product page for more information on this tyre, or visit the Kumho summer tyre section to explore other offerings by this manufacturer.


When it comes to their positions in mutual tyre tests, the PS71 slightly holds a lead by placing 12th in the Autobild test involving 50 tyres as compared to the 17th position held by the RainSport 5. Nonetheless, both tyres held respectable positions given the high amount of competition.


In conclusion, if you prioritize comfort and wet conditions performance, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 may be a better fit for you. However, if you're in areas prone to heavy rains and aquaplaning is a significant concern, then the Uniroyal RainSport 5 offers excellent protection. Keep in mind that neither of these tyres has been replaced with a newer model, so both are current offerings from their respective manufacturers at present.
