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.

Areas for Improvement

Top 3 RoadX RXMOTION U11 Reviews
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.

Latest RoadX RXMOTION U11 Reviews
Dangerous tyres, terrible grip in the wet. Understeer at 30kph in the wet on roundabouts.
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.
