The Rotalla F105 has quite a long bed-in period, these can take 500 miles to feel comfortable at speeds above 65mph and this tyre is very sensitive to pressure, a few psi will make a big difference to how the car feels with these tyres fitted.
Dry grip is at best OK with minimal feedback from the soft sidewalls, wet grip is quite shocking and offer little resistance to aquaplaning, on the positive note these tyres are long lasting, quiet and provided good economy, 20k miles so far on my 307 1.6 hdi 90 with 58mpg on mixed roads, with about 2k miles left in them before wear markers are level with tread.
My recommendation for these tyres would be only buy them if you drive in towns or cities, on the open road in wet weather these tyres are below expected performance levels, wet motorways are no fun at all !!
