Ideally you don't want to be cheaping out on tyres, i'd go achilles at the least

I own Minerva F105s in the same size (Rotallas in all but name) fitted to my VRX rims (not used currently). I'd class them as a commuter tyre at best, and steer clear of water, uneven ground and corners at speed. Good for passing a roady or an uneventful trip to and from work or highway runs, not much else. Wear is okay (hard compound), noise is pretty average.

Spend the extra $15-20/tyre and get Achilles. They're a much better budget tyre.

+1
spend a few extra coins and buy the Achilles ATR sport, good bang for buck tyres.

For the love of god.

Tyres are the only thing keeping you on the road.

Dont be a cheapskate and buy decent tyres or catch a bus. Sick of people defending cheap shitty chinese tyres and wondering why they went backwards through a hedge a day later

From experience, going from some second hand kumhos that were basically bald I used to finish a brake swap, and then using a mates cheap chinese tyres that were almost new, the kumhos out handled them 10 fold. As everyone has said before me, don't cheap out on tyres

If that's your attitude towards tyres then I'm sure the Rotallas will suit you fine.

Just don't come complaining to us when you have to do an emergency stop in the wet and you find your tyres don't do anything.
