Rovelo Roadquest H/T

My previous car had Goodyear Eagle F1s all round, for a Passat with a 3.2VR6 donk up front, VW 4Motion and soft suspension, she handled exceptionally well, she hooked up and went, I could throw her into a corner in the wet and she would stick, complete faith in the combo. My new car, which unfortunately the old owner had replaced the tires before selling with the HT RV08, which on initial driving, thought were ok for a brand I'd not heard of before. However yesterday, in my Q3 Quattro 2.0TFSI, dry weather, brisk but not pedal to the metal pull away at the lights, it chirped and struggled for grip. Today, in the wet, zero confidence, slippery on corners, 4 wheel slide when pulling away in traffic with no beans. Personally, I will be replacing these tires were performance rubber, these Rovelo are awful, down there with some old Supercats. These types of tires should not be allowed on the road. But it does show the reason why some people drive so slow in the wet if this is the quality of rubber fitted to so many cars out there. I would say avoid at all costs, it may be cheaper up front, but its not worth it if you have to tip toe every where.
