Uniroyal rallye 550 named which? best buy 2008

The Uniroyal Rallye 550 tyre has been named Which? Best Buy. To make the Which? Best Buys list, tyres have to be tested against a host of criteria and offer class-leading capabilities like dry and wet grip, quietness and wear rate.  Analysis is so thorough that only the very best make it as Best Buys.

The Uniroyal Rallye 550 (205/55R16V) performed well for the second year in a row. The rain tyre is a popular choice for medium to upper range cars featuring leading-class capabilities at affordable prices. Its double V tread pattern provides optimum water dispersion giving it high level resistance to aquaplaning. An advanced silica compound and a large number of intricate tread pattern grooves mean the tyre provides a firm grip in the dry and wet.

Uniroyal brand manager, Tracey Hyem, said: “It is excellent that the Rallye 550 has been commended again so highly by Which?. The Rallye 550 Uniroyal tyre is an excellent choice for middle to upper range vehicles offering comfort and premium safety, especially in the wet.”
