In terms of rating, Bridgestone Turanza 6 has an overall higher rating of 83% compared to the Uniroyal RainSport 5 which has a rating of 64%.

According to the autobild test in which 50 tyres were ranked, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and Uniroyal RainSport 5 were ranked close, with positions 16 and 17 respectively. Despite the close positions, the nature of their best features differ significantly. The Uniroyal RainSport 5, a product of Uniroyal, excels in Aquaplaning, both cross and longitudinal. This combined with safe wet handling, makes it a great choice for wet conditions.
On the other hand, Bridgestone Turanza 6 from Bridgestone, stands out for the comfort it delivers and its lower rolling resistance. These features make it an ideal choice for long journeys and highway conditions where comfort and fuel efficiency matters.

In summary, both tyres have their unique strengths: while the Uniroyal RainSport 5 offers excellent Aquaplaning qualities and safe wet handling, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 provides user comfort, and reduced rolling resistance. It's upon the buyer to decide whether excellent aquaplaning qualities of the Uniroyal RainSport 5 fit their needs or they value the attributes of comfort more, in which case Bridgestone Turanza 6 would be a better pick.
