Given 41% while driving a BMW (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,000 average miles
Not sure what to say about these lethal tyres!! Came as part of sale on rear of 06 BMW 320d, in the dry they are good enough never felt they would let go on corners but once any sort of water hits the road it's a whole different story. Any power over the rear wheels on corners or junctions makes them let go which is nothing but dangerous. never in all my years have I experienced tyres with so little grip on the wet and I dread to think what ice or snow will do to these rubbush tyres. don't buy cheap tyres as these I'm sure have and will cause many a accident and your life is worth more than this crap!

Seriously the worst tyres by far. Dealer put these on as part of sale. No grip in wet at all. Skid on standing start, skid on mid corner acceleration, skid on roundabout turns. Only saved by car's ESP. Had them for 5 days and changed to Pirelli P7. The comparison can not even be measured by scale. These tyres should be banned from the road as it's dangerous to use them in wet.

Given 43% while driving a Fiat Grande Punto TJet (205/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles
A Ford main dealer put these on before I bought my Grande Punto T-jet late last year. The first time I took a corner in the wet I nearly lost control but put it down to the fact that I may not have scrubbed the tyres in. 4000 miles later and they are just as bad, in fact I would say that they are verging on dangerous. Moderate speeds round wet roundabouts see the front end lose grip very easily and, if you lift off the power, end up with the back end stepping out.
In dry conditions the grip is average. The tyres are very unforgiving and noisy and I am ditching them this week - before they put me in a ditch - and fitting a set of Michelin Primacy 3s.
I just hope that I notice a big difference!
Over 25 years ago when I was short of cash I used to fit second hand tyres or remoulds, the Maxtrek show just how far tyre technology has been ignored by this manufacturer!!!

These cheap shit tyres were put on by a Tight Arse Dealer, without my knowledge, or consent, as part of the sale. May as well have put 4 Rubber Ducks on the alloy rims. 'Made in Indonesia': Proves that 3rd World Muslim Countries can't make real tyres. Removing. DO NOT BUY!

Given 97% while driving a Mercedes Benz A (225/45 R17 W) on mostly motorways for 35,000 spirited miles
Had this as tyre replacement for my Mercedes Benz A200, these tyres are great value for money with progressive lost of traction every 14
5k, and not sudden lost. I am very satisfied for the price I paid for them at RM Rims SG. Had recommanded these tyres to my daughter for her next tyre change. Definitely will buy them again when my current set wear out.

Extremely satisfied with these tyres for my Toyota Estima, served me well for this size its load index and speed index are difficult to find for the price. I drive only on roads with no off-road driving.

Given 90% while driving a Honda Civic Type R (215/45 R17 W) on mostly motorways for 0 easy going miles
Had the Maxtrek M1 for over 45k km, and they still look good to go for another 10k to 15k. Dry grip is good but room for improvement on the wet grip. Lost is wet weather grip is progressive and not overnight. Can't complain too much base on the price to performance ratio. Would get these tyres again when i need a tyre change.

Simply dangerous in the wet, I have a them on a 4x4 on the front, might as well be made of wood, even in four wheel drive going round a corner is a case of will I make it, go near the brakes on damp roads and you will skid or your ABS will take its own life. IF YOU LOVE LIFE AVOID THESE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

Given 43% while driving a Ford AU XR8 Cobra (245/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Got them on my V8 falcon and they are fine in the dry, but very dangerous soon as you get any moisture on the road, they just let go.
My wife was driving the car around a tight corner not even fast and the rear end let go and did a 180, lucky she missed other cars on the road and didn't go over a cliff.
Going to upgrade them soon as I get a change.

These tyres were fitted to my S Type Jag 3 litre v6 1999 when I bought it 2 months ago, they were new at the time.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY LETHAL IN THE WET. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO MY WORST ENEMY!
Can't even go around a roundabout at 20 MPH in the Wet rear end just floats away!

Given 46% while driving a Holden Calais (2005) (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Fitted these tyres to rear of Holden Commodore VE Calais. The car feels like its on jelly. On corners that I would normally negotiate at 100kph plus these tyres suddenly grip after what feel like the tyre has rolled on its side wall. They are bloody dangerous and will cause a rollover. My wife noticed it immediately and asked me to have them removed. They were half the price of what I normally fit so guess what I got what I paid for but I didn't expect the tyres performance to be dangerous.
