The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Questions and Answers for the Maxtrek FORTIS T5

September 22, 2018

Are maxtrek tires safe even though they are made in China? I’d really like to buy a set. Thanks for your time and patience.

Maxtrek are a budget tyre manufacturer so while they won't perform the same as a premium or mid range tyre brand, they're should be E marked which makes them safe for sale in the EU.

How do these tires do in the winter with snow and ice?

The FORTIS T5 is a summer bias tyre so it will likely have very poor performance on snow and ice.

Can these tires be mounted onto a 2022 dodge durango 5.7 Hemi RT

Assuming you can find the correct size and load index, yes.

Top 3 Maxtrek FORTIS T5 Reviews

Given 24% while driving a SEAT Tarraco 2.0 TDI 4Drive (255/40 R20) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
These tyres were fitted to my long term loaner, as my family had the need for a big 7 seater. They were at 5.5mm at the start in April. I never would've thought that these chinese tyres could be so bad. Apart from an acceptable level of dry grip, they were horrendous in the wet. If I had had any sort of choice if I would have fit this tyre on one of my cars, then I'd honestly rather walk, because I do not trust these tyres. These tyres have to be avoided under any circumstances.

Given 91% while driving a Ford Everest (265/50 R20 H) on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
We have Goodyear Efficient grip on our Ford Everest but we changed after almost 2 years because of signs of early worn out. Then I saw the review on Maxtrek Fortis T5 and tried on our Everest. It's more than 2 years now and still good on the road. Good dry grip and decent on wet road. I reckon it could last another year or two. I never expect a much affordable tyre like this with superb performance. Surely we'll buy again in next tyre change.

Given 91% while driving a Dodge Charger SE 300hp. (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 250 average miles
Installed these on my charger and I noticed a change in the way the car handled right away. They hold their own on corners and they are even extremely quiet and comfortable. I will update later on wear after I have a few thousand miles on them.

Stock Goodyear Efficient grip ware early less than 2 years and we tried fitting Maxtrek Fortis T5 on our Everest and so far the tires still in good condition after almost 2 years. Very quiet on the road. Decent handle and drip. We will buy again next tire change.

Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
Given 93% while driving a Porsche Cayenne Turbo (295/35 R21) on mostly country roads for 50,000 easy going miles
Had these tyre fitted as replacement of my Michelin Latitude Sport Nspec tyres, was expecting the tyres to not perform for the price paid, but surprisingly the ride comfort and handling remains at a sinlar level to the Original Michelin. Tire thread life also exceed my expectation. Would definitely recommand these tyres as Premium Budget range and not low tier budget tyres.

Given 90% while driving a Toyota Camry (245/35 R20 W) on mostly motorways for 16,000 average miles
Had them fitted with a new set of wheels on my Toyota Camry. Very responsive road hold and dry grip. Wet grip can be improved. More value then what i paid for, surely will buy again.
