Tires Uniroyal or GT Radial
Yes uniroyal makes a damn good tire. They are decent on the wallet. And deliver on their promises.
I put a new set of Uniroyal Rainsport 5's on my car in 2023, then drove 2100 miles to Germany and back over a 2 week period, including maxing out my car to 131mph and they are still on the car now after about 18k miles on them. They still have around 2 years of life in them.
Just get the GT radial IMHO, higher rating (60k miles) and cheaper than Douglas (45k miles).
I have the Uniroyal tiger paw winter tires. Have used them for 3 winters here in Toronto. They're good.
Like Uniroyal- my Kona N came with some Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring All Season tires. They are amazing grippy in the corners for just a "touring" tire... I never would have even shopped the brand, but they seem quite good as a performance tire.
Had good luck with the uniroyal rainsport 3 and rainsport 5 myself. no idea how well it tests but it drives amazing even in rain
GT Radial tires are manufactured by Giti Tire, a Singapore-based tire manufacturer with nine facilities worldwide. Ironman tires are a budget sub-brand of Hercules Tires, which is in partnership with Cooper Tires, and manufactures its tires in different countries.
Realistically they are probably close to equivalent to each other, but both are low end budget tire brands. They seem to fair well on dry pavement and do marginally well in wet conditions, but are noticeably lacking in snow and winter conditions.
Tried both but I’ll go with GT Radial
Uniroyal in my opinion is a lower grade in tire in general, they are not what they used to be... I have PowerPaws on my Corvette right now, and they are coming off in the spring.
GT Radial SX2s are the spec tire for the SoCal 86 cup and they are pretty shitty to be honest but they hold up well
