  • Positive - Good aquaplaning resistance, low noise, good levels of comfort.
  • Negative - Undynamic handling in the dry and wet, long dry braking, extremely long wet braking, high rolling resistance.
  • Overall - The Rotalla S Race SU02 might be a quiet comfortable tire, but with long braking distances in the dry and wet, and soft imprecise handling, this is one we'd avoid.

    Bought four new tires for my Saab 9-3 2008. Good tires with nice grip and handling but a little bit too noisy in my opinion. Very good budget tires for a "normal" driver.

    Whoever loves themselves and their passengers will not fit this tire. In the dry, OK, but as soon as the roads get wet, either drive really carefully or just stay home. I bought a set of wheels with these tires preinstalled and figured they would be okay for a month until I have to fit the winter tires. Boy was I wrong. Extremely unpredictable in the wet, every turn was a journey by itself. All in all, do not recommend, spend a bit more money on a better tire.

    They perform great, the price is great. I have had 2 full sets of these tires now, my biggest issue? I have had 2 of these tires delaminate! Both on rear tires and over a year apart, 1 formed a huge bubble in the side wall and the side wall would deform dangerously under cornering, and 1 delaminated on the inner shoulder of the tire exposing cords and steel belt, the overall wear on that tire would never have suggested there was an issue. I really liked these tires, for years. But with these incidents I cannot justify buying them anymore

    These tires would be good if correctly manufactured but what a NIGHTMARE. Out of 6 tires, 2 of them were not perfectly round and the cars would wobble (especially in front). I had to throw them away and buy other tires. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BRAND NEW TYRES. NEVER AGAIN!

    Given 81% while driving a Suzuki vitara s 1,4 boosterjet (225/45 R19) on mostly town for 8,000 average miles
    Fitted these tires as a +2 size upgrade on my Suzuki Vitara, from 215/55-R17 to 225/45-R19. I have driven them for about 8000km. I honestly am quite surprised with these tires. Never expected much from a Chinese brand-made tire, but it holds well. During the heavy downpours, the tires are predictable, even when traveling north of 90kph. During that time, naturally I drove past puddles. These tires cut any standing waters with no major drama. The aqua planning was also manageable, never had a skid, no issues at all. In the dry weather, the tires are behaving like any normal touring tires. The steering is quite precise, no jitters on high speed (about 110-120kph) and definitely it drives smoothly throughout. Like others mentioned, the tires are relatively quiet. Despite the wider track and larger in size, -dare I say the noise is comparable with Yokohama RV02 (the tires I replaced)? Though I have driven them for 8000km+, these tires still look brand new. We’ll see how long these tires will last. All in all, I am happily surprised with them. Makes you wonder why would you want to pay double of what I paid for on these tires for major brands.

    These tires are good on dry ground no problem even if there is better but the real problem is on wet ground so there is no one left! Dangerous I often slipped under braking and lost control, it's a bit scary! And when accelerating, it's the same, the wheel slips on the first 3 gears. Unless you drive quietly they may not scare you, but in fast situations or emergency braking they are catastrophic. I will not repurchase this model.

    Given 70% while driving a SEAT Ibiza 1.0 TSI 115 (/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,300 spirited miles
    Have done about 2000 KM on these tires so far in warm weather on both dry and wet roads. Both dry and wet grip is good, but not fantastic. Definitely sufficient for a daily driver. When pushed hard, there is some understeer and the relatively soft sidewalls are apparent. This tire claims to be UHP but in reality, feels more comfort biased than other UHP tires like the Goodyear F1A5. Overall, I'm not disappointed with them, especially considering the low price. In fact, they have performed surprisingly close to the Michelin Primacy 4 that were fitted previously on my car. I probably would not buy them again as other UHP tires do feel sportier but anyone looking for balanced, quiet tires should defnitely give these a try.

    Very impressed, hold the road in both wet and dry conditions, noise levels very low and the ride has improved much more comfortable. The steering feels a touch lighter with these meaning the feedback is a touch less and its to early to say about wear. I have not tried a hard stop and hope I won't have to but overall I'm very happy with these tires and would buy again.

    I had these tires for 2 seasons and the tread is somewhat good. I will drive for a 3 season and replace them. I find that they are very good tires and I would buy again.

    Given 100% while driving a Honda Vezel 1.5 Hybrid RU3 (215/55 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
    Im lucky to have bought these tires for my Honda Vezel RU3 2015;

    Overall these tire are competitively priced as compared to the Dunlops (factory fitted), these tires are silent and much softer than the stock dunlops, very light on the vehicle, im enjoying the drive.

    The grip factor is very nice, being a summer performance tire, the UTQG rating is; Treadwear 320, Traction A, Temperature A with speed rating upto 270kmph, therefore driving on piping hot tarmac at 129kmph the car never felt sluggish around the curves.

    I have so far driven these tires inter city, locally and driven up the north hills aswell, so after after driving 15000kms+ the tires are still as brand new as the day one. I keep them rotated every 10000kms with air pressure 33psi.

    I'll admit these are much in my budget and user friendly tires. Would definitely buy them again.

    Ok firstly i only do around 3000 miles pa.
    so i did not want to buy expensive tires, if i was loaded then i would have got th Uniroyal rainsport 3.
    I am very happy with these, I have a 225bhp car, so it can be very quick.
    Very happy with the feel and control of these.
    Chuffed as, plus I got 4 for £150 delivered. fantastic

    For the money great value. I wouldn't buy them if you were a high mileage person. I can judge that my set will require replacing before 20k. Giving me 3 years.

    I've had these tires fitted for around 2 weeks now and they seem to do a decent enough job. Noise and comfort is good and I have, so far, had no problems with grip or handling. I don't think I would be fully confident if I was pushing the car hard with these tires, but at this point, they seem like good value for money.
