Review Summary
Based on 32 user reviews
Drivers are sharply divided on the Rovelo RPX 998: many budget-minded users praise its value, acceptable dry and wet grip for normal driving, comfort, low noise for some, and surprisingly good tread life in cases, while a large minority report severe wet grip issues, understeer, and noise. High-scoring reviews often commend grip (dry and sometimes wet) and value, whereas low-scoring reviews frequently cite dangerous wet performance and rapid/uneven wear. Overall sentiment skews slightly negative, but the tire can satisfy light, cautious driving at low cost; enthusiastic or wet-weather driving exposes limitations.

- Comfort/ride quality for price

Areas for Improvement

Top 3 Rovelo RPX 998 Reviews
In the dry, it is okay, with no outstanding grip, but it is usable with sluggish steering response and noise.
In the wet, grip 404 was not found. The wheel spun constantly, and the vehicle was understeering at low speeds at roundabouts.
If you are on a budget, get something like Kumho PS71 or Avon ZV7. The bottom line is that those name-brand tires won't kill you or your family.
Latest Rovelo RPX 998 Reviews
wet. You cannot put any power on in a bend or you just slide. They also give wheel spin in wet conditions. I was a Police driver for 30yrs and would not recommend in the wet
Excellent all rounder, handling is crisp and feedback is good. Nice progressive tire with plenty of grip wet and dry.
Puts premium brands to shame.
Only replacing rear tires due to budge cause by me hitting a kerb.
Have just ordered a new pair.
