Rovelo RHP 780P

The car had the tyres on all 4 corners when bought used and we (mostly my wife) have done a bit over 13,000 miles with them. Not sure how long they have been on but loads of tread left. The car is a 320D 163 BHP and is mostly driven with a fairly full boot (trunk) and 1 to 5 adults. Driving varies between slow city to urgent urban response as well as leisurely distance with a variety of road types. The only times the stability control has kicked in has been accelerating on solid but uneven surfaces and also the odd roundabout exit in the wet when the rear has lost grip. It is C rated fro wet grip. No aquaplane experienced with these tyres. We are getting typically a couple of mpg or so better than official figures predict and this size is a D for rolling resistance. I also drive a Golf TDi which currently has Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 3 which is my current best comparison and C for wet grip and around twice the price for the BMW size. I feel that the Rovelo's are decent in the dry, less noisy than the Vector (although both are 70dB, less feedback than the vector, give less confidence than the Vector in any conditions although I suspect there is also a psychological element given the desire to not push an economy brand too hard. I've put 7 for buy again as I probably would not buy these tyres, not because they are poor as I think they are quite decent and from the prices I have looked up they represent excellent value for money, but I feel that we all should be buying the best tyres we can afford for the conditions we drive. You never know when the better handling or grip will more than pay for the extra cost or save a life. As such I would expect to buy something better when replacing them, possibly an all season. That said I wouldn't replace unless they were bad performers, old, or the usual reasons of damage, wear etc. These are more than good enough to stay for now.

Very surprised by the overall quality of this tyre. Grip in both wet and dry is impressive and comparable to premium brands that I’ve been using in the past. Also provide good feel through the steering and work well with the suspension set up to provide a comfortable ride. No experience as yet with ice and snow.
