Rotalla Setula S-RACE RU01 (285/35R20 104Y XL)

“High Performance, Budget Friendly.” The 2026 Value Benchmark.

The RU01 is engineered for drivers who prioritize a quiet ride and stable daily dry handling. While it lacks the extreme track-day capabilities of a Michelin Pilot Sport, it provides a safe, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for high-performance road cars.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🏎️ Asymmetric “S-Race” Pattern:

  The RU01 features a specialized outboard shoulder design for increased lateral stability. This helps the tyre maintain its shape during cornering, providing predictable handling for high-torque performance cars during daily city driving.

• 🔇 Noise-Reduction Groove Pitch:

  Rotalla has optimized the pitch of the tread blocks to minimize air resonance. For a tyre this wide (285mm), it is surprisingly quiet, often outperforming more expensive sports tyres in cabin silence—a major plus for long cruises on the KPE or PIE.

• 🌧️ Four Circumferential Channels:

  To manage the aquaplaning risk inherent in wide 285mm tyres, the RU01 is equipped with four deep longitudinal grooves. This provides reliable Class B wet braking, ensuring safe stopping power during Singapore’s sudden tropical downpours.

• 📏 Advanced Silica Compound:

  The rubber blend includes a high concentration of silica to improve wet traction and reduce rolling resistance. This contributes to a fuel efficiency rating of C, which is highly competitive for a UHP tyre of this size.

• 🛡️ Reinforced XL Casing:

  The Extra Load (XL) construction provides a stiffer sidewall compared to standard tyres. This is crucial for protecting your 20-inch alloy rims from pothole damage and ensuring the tyre can support the weight of heavy executive performance sedans.

📊 Performance Summary

• Dry Grip: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Solid for daily spirited driving)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent silence for its width)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐ (Reliable for daily use; avoid pushing limits in heavy rain)

• Value Factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Unbeatable price-to-performance ratio)

The Rotalla Setula S-RACE RU01 is the premier “budget-UHP” choice for 2026. It is the best option for performance car owners who want a great-looking, quiet, and capable tyre for daily commuting without the heavy “premium brand” tax.
