2026 ADAC All Season Tire Test - 185/65 R15 P15 of 16

The Roadhog RGAS02 finishes among the weakest tires in the test, its poor winter and wet grip capping the overall grade and ruling out any recommendation. It shares a tread pattern and factory with the Mastersteel, and like that tire it is one to avoid.

Weak: Straight Aqua, Curved Aquaplaning, Snow Braking, Snow Traction Winner: Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 3 tests. Updated July 28, 2026.

Across three all-season tests, the Roadhog RGAS02 shows a clear split personality: it can deliver surprisingly competitive dry braking for a budget tire, but it repeatedly falls to the bottom of the field in wet grip-especially aquaplaning-and is also consistently weak in snow performance. This imbalance drives poor overall results (average overall position 14.3, with 15th of 16 in ADAC 2026 and 15th of 17 in AutoBild 2025), indicating significant safety compromises in the conditions where all-season tires are most expected to be dependable.

The most consistent pattern is severe water-evacuation and wet-handling deficiency, evidenced by last-place aquaplaning results in multiple measures and last-place wet braking/handling in AutoBild. Winter metrics are similarly poor (last in ADAC snow braking/traction and near-bottom in AutoBild snow disciplines). Comfort and efficiency are not standout compensations: noise and wear tend to be in the lower tier, while fuel/rolling resistance is mid-pack at best.

The Roadhog RGAS02, despite its budget pricing, cannot be recommended for serious all-season use. While it offers respectable dry performance for its extremely low price, it shows significant weaknesses in snow and wet conditions that compromise safety. The high wear rate further diminishes its value proposition, making it a false economy despite the attractive initial purchase price.
