Rotalla RU01

Anyone heard of these tyres.

They are about £12 cheaper than the Khumo KU39, have similar ratings but get rave reviews on how quiet they are.

I’m generally not one for fitting budget tyres, however, with the amount of miles I do, the tyres will have gone off before they wear out, so I’m loathed to fit Pirelli or Goodyear and the like.

I’d never heard of them.

So I did a search.

The first result was a tyre review site, where the 

reviewers go into considerable detail on how abysmal they consider

the Rotalla’s to be. 

I have never heard of them but they seem to be stocked by some big names, however I’d wait until our resident expert NickD comes along.

I couldn’t find any specific reviews about the RU01 model, other than what’s on BlackCircles.

I dont really take any account of online tyre reviews, but this makes for some interesting reading, and as a result I won’t be buying today…

EDIT>>>

woops, not exactly the same tyre, oh well… sorry… 

yeh, I think that might be the review TruffleHunt was referring to.

It does make frightening reading, but then if you look on BlackCircles and read customer reviews for the RU01, they have 230 customer reviews 99% of which are positive.
