Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

RoadX RXMotion U11 finished last, with notable weaknesses in wet performance. The tyre needed 37.7m to stop in wet conditions and posted the slowest wet handling lap at 89.26s. Its only real strength was dry handling, where it performed better than expected for a budget option. The tyre's low price point reflects its position as an economy option with significant performance compromises.

Review Summary

Based on 35 user reviews

Across 35 reviews, the RoadX RXMOTION U11 is widely criticized for unsafe wet grip and confidence, with many drivers reporting sliding and poor braking in rain and cooler temperatures. A minority of higher and mid-scoring reviews praise its dry grip for normal driving, stability once properly inflated/balanced, and notably strong longevity at a low price. Noise and ride harshness are recurring complaints, though some owners find it acceptable as a budget option for gentle, dry-weather use. Overall, the U11 prioritizes durability over performance, with wet handling and braking as the predominant weakness.

Strengths
  • Long tread life
  • Acceptable dry grip for normal driving
  • Good value/low price
  • Predictable handling in dry when not pushed
Areas for Improvement
  • Very poor wet grip and braking
  • Lack of confidence/safety in rain and cold
  • Noise and harsh ride
  • Weak handling/understeer when pushed
  • Aquaplaning concerns

Given 61% while driving a Vauxhall Crossland X (215/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 35,000 easy going miles
These came fitted on my Crossland which I bought at 17,000 miles from Arnold Clark. They looked very impressive. I think they must have been on since new. I have now driven the car for two years and it has reached 35,000 miles. Still four or five mm on the front tyres.
Not impressed. They seem passable in the dry though the car seems rather rough over bumps and noisy on some road surfaces above sixty mph. That might be largely the large diameter lower profile wheels.
My biggest gripe is the wet grip - especially at slightly low temperatures. I get nervous accelerating modestly out of roundabouts and even in straight lines. The steering easily goes very light if you are not careful. Does not inspire confidence about wet stopping distances.
I've been saying that I really should change them since shortly after I got the car.
Just noticed that the sipes have worn away around two of the blocks of tread on the front tyres - even though there is still at least 4 or 5 mm depth of tread in the main channels and the tread surface is nowhere near the wear bars. That prompted me to start looking at tyre reviews as the absence of the sipes can only make the wet grip worse.

Fitted these as a cheap option for my 2018 BMW X5 40d..... so bloody uncomfortable as the garage cannot balance them no matter how hard they try! Constant body vibrations even at low speed. My previous Goodyear tyres no vibrations, I did read previous X5 reviews so thought I'd give them a go....oh, guess you get what you pay for.

My Maserati came with these on the rear. Terrible for all driving styles and conditions BUT they literally didn’t wear out. They were far from new when I got the car and I’d done well over 20000 miles before replacing, and they still had miles left in them.

Given 67% while driving a BMW 120i M Sport (225/40 R18) on mostly country roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Love it! For having no grip. No kidding. These low grip U11 together with ESP works wonderfully together to make the car super nimble on curvy country road. Make me feel like Mika Hakkinen driving his F1 McLaren with 2 brake pedals. Just Google "McLaren 2 brake pedals" for further information.

Given 69% while driving a Ford Kuga (225/55 R18) on mostly country roads for 10,000 spirited miles
I bought my car with these on and very worn but as I do 5/6000 miles per year and they are not illegal we kept them .We live in Finland and the conditions are harsh at times .Now they are ready for changing as we have seperate tyres for winter ,it is September here .I do not understand the feedback on here as I used to rally drive and love nothing more than good acceleration ,we drive twisty tarmac and gravel roads and these tyres have caused me no problems at all .With 2mm of tread left I still can't get the traction control on ! I would buy them again in the blink of an eye .The downside is that they are noisy and as our profile is quite low that doesn't help . Our car is a Ford kuga 2 litre diesel 4wd so heavy enough to test them and they have been great . I am on the net now searching for them .

Given 69% while driving a Peugeot e208 (205/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 10,000 spirited miles
I’ve had these on my Peugeot E-208 for 4 months and they have been amazing. I drive it quite hard and have covered 10k in this time mostly on windy back roads around the Cotswolds. Although I am now down to no tread on the front, a lot of this can be out to the electric FWD car and heavy right foot. On the whole these tyres have been brilliant, surprisingly amazing dry handling, brilliant grip off the line and they have really helped control any understeer the 1.6 Ton FWD 208 would otherwise have! They’re still good in the wet but you can’t push them quite as hard as you would a PS4 shall we say. All round really impressed and would highly recommend to anyone after a really good budget tyre!

Do not buy these tyres please !!
Dangerous tyres, terrible grip in the wet. Understeer at 30kph in the wet on roundabouts.

Given 41% while driving a Mercedes Benz (225/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 20,000 average miles
These tyres are built for one thing and one thing alone, longevity. At 20,000 miles, the tread was 4.5mm-5.2mm and they clearly had life left in them. They are marketed as a tyre that can reach 60,000 miles but that is where the praise stops. The compound is hard. As such, spirited driving is not their forte. The traction light and skid noises could draw attention. The dry grip is average. In the wet they were below average. Forget heavy cornering and handling. Simply put, they cannot handle excitement. Wet braking was terrible. There is a reason these are cheap and cheerful. The car just felt broken and never drove properly. Similar to a previous detailed BMW review on here for these tyres. If you are looking for a town/city hard waring tyre though, then these could be for you. However, safety is not at the forefront so I could not recommend these on a motorway. They were replaced with Yokohama and the difference is night and day. As these Road-X tyres are quite hard, the fuel saving was okay but not spectacular. I would rather face a very minor fuel penalty with more appropriate and safer tyres than use these again.

Given 47% while driving a Vauxhall Insignia CDTI SRI 130 (245/40 R19) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Fine at normal speeds in the dry. Absolutely shockingly poor grip in wet or cold conditions. They spun up in 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the winter. One of the worst tyres in the wet I've ever used. They wear fairly slowly. Replaced with Firestone Firehawk that grip exceptionally in the wet. I wouldn't reccomend them to anyone sadly.

Given 71% while driving a BMW 218d Active Tourer (315/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 miles
Fitted on my BMW X5 with staggered 20 inch rims. First impression was horror. But......due to idiot fitters putting 52psi in , and not balanced correctly. Upon putting pressure correct, and getting rebalanced at a proper tyre fitters, I don't know any difference from my previous Bridgestone Duellers. Or continentals. No problem whatsoever. Not Star rated for BMW X5 but no probs with transfer box ,so must be consistent on diameter. Look good , cheap, and as my X5 chews rears on inner tread making contis etc uneconomical , I think these harder compound half the price will last a lot longer. Most reviewers would know the difference if these were fitted without their knowing. There aren't many awful budget brands nowadays. Some are even the previous compound and tread / mould of big brands with different make on the mould

Cannot stand all the reviews on tyres like these by people who think they are professional racing drivers. These tyre’s do a job, They are a budget tyre. Wet grip isn’t amazing but dry grip is more than good enough for normal day to day driving, The only thing that really lets this tyre down for me personally with my experience and the reason i am getting rid of them after a few thousand miles is the out edge tread has worn in such a way it now rumbles when driving at motorway speed.

Given 28% while driving a SEAT Leon 5f mk3 2014 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
Car came with these fitted on the rear with Michelin Primacy on the front. Dry grip seems ok but they are absolutely hopeless in the wet and even worse when the temperature drops.
Turning in to a bend outside my home town that I have taken a thousand times before, they completely failed to have any lateral grip and the car flashed its traction control light and threw its back end round. Wet weather, - yes but not standing water, temperature - probably around 9-10 degrees, "enthusiastically" chucked into the corner - NO. Feel the lack of grip in roundabouts to the point where it feels like I could quite easily flick the backend of a front drive car out with only mild encouragement.
Car is new to me and is more stiffly sprung that previous car (Mondeo) but the tyres seem comfortable enough. Given the level of grip, I suspect that these tyres will last forever... but not on this vehicle. My other half has H12's (205x55x16) on her golf and they are 100 times better than the U11's.
The U11's however will not be kept long enough for any mid life or end of life report. A pair of Bridgestones are on order and I expect this to make the car much safer to drive.

Given 34% while driving a Ford Focus (245/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
These were new on the front of my Ford focus which I bought second hand in January. 16k on tje clock and rear tyres still had factory original michelin pilot 4s on . These tyres have to be the worst I have ever driven on in over 30 years of motoring. Horrible feedback and the grip is borderline dangerous. Ended up buying 4 goodyear asymmetric 6 tyres and the car is like a different car. Full confidence going into a roundabout and don't have to judge if your goi g to slide or take someone out . These tyres should be avoided at all costs. Spend more and stay safe.

Given 46% while driving a Audi A1 (215/45 R16) on mostly town for 3,000 average miles
I would definitely not recommend this tyre unless you drive at snail speed in the dry with a car that has little power. The front lets go on cornering in the wet, with little warning. Bought a pre-owned Audi A1 with them on, and was it not for the car's handling capability and safety features and my driving experience and skill, these tyres would have had me in trouble

These appear to be standard fit by Arnold Clarke on many of their approved used motors. I agree with previous comments on the traction light not kicking in unless pushed hard. Although they are allegedly low rolling resistance, I did not find them too fuel efficient. Dry handling is average. Dry braking is okay. Wet handling is average. Wet braking below average. The rule of 7°C applies for summer tyres so they say. However, I found these were poorly gripping at 9°C. Cold conditions are a no for these. By 5mm tread depth, lateral grip was greatly reduced. You could be taking it slow and steady through a mini roundabout however, the car slides to the side. These tyres cannot handle excitement but that is not what they are built for. Be prepared for fishtailing if you do excite them. Although, the tread feels like it could last an age, these tyres just feel unsafe. There are tall claims of a 60k mile guarantee in their advertising. The more they wore out the worse they became. So bad, at 4mm, I was sick of the wheel spin and poor grip, I replaced them with something more sure footed. A budget brand. If you are on a budget and drive like a saint, these might work for you however, the more usage they see, the worse they get. Anti aqua planing abilities are non-existent. I purchased our car in the summer and they felt fine in the dry months. I thought I would see how things progressed. With weather changes and different conditions these proved they were not up to the job. To conclude, I do not think this is a safe tyre and would not buy into the longevity claims.
