How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 25 owner reviews found online.
The Rockstone Radial F105 is widely regarded by users as a dangerous and poor-performing budget tire, particularly in wet conditions. While some owners acknowledge its longevity and low wear rate, the overwhelming consensus is that the tire's lack of grip and unpredictable handling make it a significant safety hazard.
Pros
- Extremely long tread life
- Low purchase price
- Adequate performance in dry, low-speed conditions
Cons
- Extremely poor wet-weather traction and hydroplaning resistance
- Unpredictable handling and sudden loss of grip
- High noise levels and harsh ride quality
- Poor build quality, including reports of tread separation
Worth knowing
- Users frequently report dangerous oversteer when these tires are fitted to the rear axle of rear-wheel-drive vehicles.
- Drivers of performance-oriented or heavier vehicles note that the tire's lack of grip significantly compromises the vehicle's intended handling characteristics.
