Description

Rotalla Setula S-RACE RU01 (205/55R17 95W XL)

The 2026 Economy Champion. Quiet, Safe, and Budget-Friendly.

The RU01 focuses on delivering a refined driving experience at a fraction of the cost of premium brands. While it is a budget tyre, its 2025–2026 production updates have improved its wet-weather reliability and reduced road noise levels, making it ideal for daily urban commuting.

✨ Key Performance Technologies

• 🔇 69 dB Ultra-Low Noise (Class A):

  One of the RU01’s strongest features is its silence. With an EU noise rating of just 69 dB, it is significantly quieter than many premium performance tyres. The optimized tread block arrangement disrupts air resonance, ensuring a peaceful cabin on the PIE or KPE.

• 🌧️ Anti-Aquaplaning Design (Class B Wet Grip):

  Equipped with four wide circumferential grooves, the RU01 is highly effective at flushing water away from the contact patch. This achieves a Class B rating for wet braking, providing confident stopping power and safety during sudden tropical storms.

• 📐 High-Rigidity Solid Rib:

  A solid center rib runs through the tread, enhancing straight-line stability and steering responsiveness. This gives the driver a more “connected” feel to the road, making the car feel more stable during highway cruises and lane changes.

• 🛡️ Reinforced XL Sidewall:

  The Extra Load (XL) rating means this tyre has a fortified casing. This is essential for protecting your rims from pothole damage and providing the structural support needed for heavier 7-seater MPVs like the BMW 2GT or Renault Grand Scenic.

• 🏎️ Asymmetric Tread Architecture:

  The outer shoulder features stiffer blocks to maintain grip and shape during cornering, while the inner section is optimized for water drainage. This dual-zone pattern ensures a balanced performance across various weather conditions.

• Cabin Silence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Whisper-quiet for a budget tyre)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Reliable Class B braking)

• Value for Money: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Unbeatable price-to-performance)
