Bloody awful, dangerous in the extreme due to understeer. Noticeable in the dry but potentially lethal in the wet. They were new, or appeared so, when I bought the car from a local Skoda dealership, but after a trip to our second home in France and experiencing extreme understeer at a roundabout in Blois I got rid of them as soon as I got home, telling the tire fitters not to sell them as part-used.

70dB Quietest tires
The quietest tires in the range are labelled from 70 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
They were fine in dry conditions, but sucked in snow; have replaced with BF Goodrich and are very pleased with them
For the cheap price I put them on my 2009 Toyota Camry and was surprised how good they are especially in dry weather. They are not that noisy as some people say. For an old car why put on expensive tires? Car may get stolen or tires slashed or car can get scrapped.
I've been using these same tires since 2021, so good in grip and last..just mild wear..that not enough? I'm a runner..going back and forth from Ipoh-Klang Valley-KL..its quite noisy but I don't mind coz they said this is performance tire but still comfortable for long distance and duration drive (pro tip:don't turn too much during stationary if you want it to last longer it scratch quite easily)
Nothing much to report. Two tires fitted front Dacia duster. Grip well, ride good, nothing special, but for the price I don’t think there is much better. Rovelo is made by Sailum. I would recommend this tires for everyday driving.
Stay far away from these tires - 1. They will not balance. 2. have a massive negative impact on consumption. 3. Noisy as hell, Cannot hear yourself think.
