2025 Auto Bild All Season Camper Van Tire Test P9 of 9

Rotalla Setula 4 Season RA03 earns a "satisfactory" rating with its main advantage being the low purchase price. It provides good safety reserves on dry surfaces and performs adequately in snow braking. However, the tire demonstrates weak performance potential in snow conditions and on wet surfaces, limiting its overall capabilities and making it suitable primarily for cost-sensitive applications where performance is not the primary concern.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 3 tests. Updated September 10, 2025.

Across three all-season tests, the Rotalla Setula 4 Season RA03 consistently trails the field, particularly in wet performance, driving its low average placement (20.3). Wet braking and handling metrics are repeatedly bottom-tier with large gaps to the best, and the 2025 camper van test underscores widespread deficits in wet safety and aquaplaning. Dry braking shows occasional mid-pack results in larger comparative fields (2019-2020), indicating a modest relative strength, but it deteriorates sharply in the 2025 test. Snow metrics are mostly lower-mid to bottom, while efficiency/noise are unremarkable to slightly mid-pack.

Overall, the tire's pattern is defined by pronounced wet weakness, occasional acceptable dry braking in some sizes/tests, and otherwise subpar all-round capability without any awards or standout category wins.
