195/65 17 Tyre Review Highlights

Maxxis Premitra HP5 rated 24% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk5
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 spirited miles
Without a doubt the worst tyres I’ve ever had. I usually run Avon’s but when they’ve been in short supply I’ve used unknown budget ones - I recently went from
Budget ones to these maxxis and they were notably much worse. Wet grip fairly problematic , handling poor but worst of all they did less than 10000 miles (9 months ) before running to cords.
Will never ever buy Maxxis again

Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
These are the worst tyres I have ever had in my whole life and I have been driving for decades. I googled the reviews on these before buying them. However, nobody mentioned the noise level ! And they are not cheap tyres either. I cannot bear the noise inside the car since I got these tyres. Everybody is asking me what happened my car - the noise is horrific in the cabin - particularly at speed on the open road. You have to shout at each other just to talk. The noise is so unbearable that I am considering replacing the tyres with a known brand, even though these tyres are new and only have 1000 done on them. Also, even though they are new, the noise is progressively getting worse. Regarding other aspects, they are fine, but my driving is a misery since I got them. All in all, I think nobody should buy these tyres and this is the first time I have ever reviewed anything. But be warned. Only a deaf person could be happy with these tyres.

Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
These are the best winter tyres I have ever put on and I’ve had a few, grip in snow unbelievable and road ride very quiet, living in a hilly rural location these tyres have been an eye opener, will definitely be sticking with these Lanndsail winter landers.
