Uniroyal AllSeasonExpert 2 review

The Uniroyal AllSeasonExpert 2 is widely regarded as a budget-friendly, winter-biased all-season tire that excels in wet and snowy conditions but struggles with dry-weather performance. While users praise its impressive tread longevity and aquaplaning resistance, the tire's soft compound leads to increased fuel consumption and compromised handling during warmer summer months.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 5 owner reviews across retailers and review sites.

The Uniroyal AllSeasonExpert 2 is widely regarded as a budget-friendly, winter-biased all-season tire that excels in wet and snowy conditions but struggles with dry-weather performance. While users praise its impressive tread longevity and aquaplaning resistance, the tire's soft compound leads to increased fuel consumption and compromised handling during warmer summer months.

Pros

  • Excellent wet weather performance and aquaplaning resistance
  • Strong traction and safety on snow and slush
  • High tread longevity and durability
  • Competitive price-to-performance ratio

Cons

  • Poor dry braking and handling in warm temperatures
  • Noticeable increase in fuel consumption
  • Spongy steering feedback on dry surfaces
  • Potential for wheelspin in high-torque or RWD applications

Worth knowing

  • Users with RWD vehicles noted potential for wheelspin in cold, wet conditions, suggesting the tire may struggle to put power down in certain configurations.
  • Drivers of older, balanced sedans like the BMW E39 reported high satisfaction with the tire's winter-like capabilities in snow and ice.
