Marangoni Mythos

Hi, i recently bought and Audi TT with a full set of what look like new Mythos tyres. the first time it rained i happens to go into a corner that i have driver round for about 10 years in various cars (MX5, BMW 325, Mini cooper S) i went totally out of shape!! not what i expected from my Audi Quattro, will be buying a new set of "Bridgestone's" at the end of the month. They're not good in the wet!!!

Very poor grip in the wet back end slides out on sharpish bends

These really are a very good tyres. Grip on the dry surface is perfect for my experience compared to other brands. Also grip on the wet surface is not bad and I am impressed. I would definitely buy another set of these tyres at any time when required to do so and I will highly recommend to anyone.

If it's warm and dry these tyres seem ok, however in the wet they are down right dangerous. Even in a modestly powered car, in third gear acceleration can cause the driven wheels to totally lose contact. In the wet my traction control is permanently cutting in.

I would not recommend these tyres despite the acceptable dry performance as they are too much of an issue in the wet. I will be dumping them part worn when I swap back to my winter tyres in a few months.

These tyres are rubbish,had to replace them due to going out of shape and making an awful noise and they are not even half worn.Have learnt a valuable lesson here,never by cheap tyres they are exactly that!

Driven on a 2010 2.0TSI 210bhp Scirocco GT, all four wheel fitted with Mythos'. Front tyres have lasted 8000 miles, I may get another 1000 miles from them but it'll be tight, rear tyres will last 10000. Offers average to good levels of grip in the dry, my nerves go before the car in most occasions. They allow the car to grip in the dry with a small progressive tendency to under steer giving a feeling of confidence. In the wet the story is totally different- cannot put the power down at all spinning the wheels in first and second under normal driving conditions and in third when accelerating hard. Under steer is much much worst in wet conditions and I have no confidence to approach a corner carrying any momentum. Would not buy again. Tyres came fitted by approved VW garage when buying second hand (3 years old with very low miles). Disappointing that the VW garage fits such a poor tyre to a performance car.

These really are a very poor tyre. Grip in the dry is (just) ok for normal running around town, although the tram-lining is becoming worse as the tyres wear. But as soon as the road becomes damp they become dangerous. It is almost impossible to pull out of a junction without spinning the wheels, even with very low revs and a feather touch on the throttle. Wet cornering and braking inspires no confidence, with a feeling almost like driving on ice. Would definitely not recommend and I'll be changing them very soon, even though they are only half worn - I value my life too much to continue taking this unacceptable risk.

Thought they were good value, how wrong !!
Will change them very soon, thinking Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 !

Worst and most dangerous tyres I have ever fitted, and one ruptured it's casing on a very small pothole. In one word? Rubbish
