Poor wet grip is the clearest theme among owners of the RoadX RXMOTION U11, raised in just over half the reviews. Dry grip is less consistently criticised, but negative accounts still outnumber positive ones. Longer-term reports often describe slow wear, which does not necessarily come with reassuring grip. Around one in five reviews mentions intrusive noise or weak wet handling, and roughly one in six criticises steering feel. Both returning reviewers remained dissatisfied, though their experiences do not establish one consistent change with age. A few owners are content with ordinary use, but the overall feedback is dominated by grip concerns rather than the low price.

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.

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.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the RoadX RXMOTION U11? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
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.
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.

My Diesel Multispace came fitted with a set of these tyres when I purchased the car last summer. In dry conditions the grip level is just about acceptable however the steering feel just off center is extemely poor with a strange dragging sensation during cornering they also feel as if the rubber is very hard but my tyres had the wrong load rating of 97v they should be 93v for my car. Driving in the wet is a comedy both axles ready to slip out of line with zero warning on wet roundabouts at very low speeds I would class these tyres as dangerous in any emergency situation. If the vehicle you are driving has these fitted get them changed now to a safer better tyre! I am not using these tyres now.

Terrible terrible tyres. In the dry very average but in the wet these tyres are very dangerous. Traction control light never off in the wet and as the temperature drops they get worse. They were fitted brand new from Arnold Clark on the car I bought. I have swapped them out after only 2000miles and fitted Goodyear vector 4all season tyres and the car is transformed.

Had these on the rear of my Audi A4 from when I bought it, they were on 6mm, feedback from the tyres is shocking and if it rains then you are almost guaranteed to slide out even at 5mph especially if you lift off at all (even when only applying a tiny bit of throttle) over all the absolute worst tyres I have ever driven on. There are many different budgets out there at the same or less price that are infinitly better than these.
Only positive thing about them is they don't wear much, 19,000 miles later and on 4mm but no wonder as they do not grip the road at all, if a tyre wears, it means it is gripping.. I cannot stress enough they are terrible and not worth it.
If you value your car and life, DO NOT USE THESE. DEADLY IN WET.
I put these on my x5 as a much cheaper option to the pirelli’s they replaced…half to price for 275/315 offsets. Would I put them on my m4? Probably not, but for any sport suv they are just fine. To expect these to perform the same as something twice the price is unrealistic. They doing the job I need them for and they look great. I’m not racing my x5 but they honestly don’t feel bad at higher speeds. I’d consider them again.
These things last forever and I didn't notice a huge difference in wet to dry conditions. That being said they are horrendously noisy and made the ride very crashy. Small potholes make it sound like you've torn your suspension off.
If I wanted something cheap to last a long while I might consider them but will avoid them if I can in future.

These tyres came with the car, absolutely shocking grip in wet/damp conditions. Car slides out of control on round abouts and bends. Noticed it feels like the tyres are over-inflated when driving in dry conditions particularly on roundabouts if taken a bit quick. Feel like I can’t drive the car how it’s meant to be driven on B roads without worrying I’ll wind up in a farmers field!
