Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1 Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 76 reviews

Wet grip is the main concern for owners of the Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1, criticised in nearly half of the 76 written reviews, often with reports of wheelspin or sliding on damp corners. Around one in six reviews specifically criticises wet handling, while noise draws complaints in roughly one in seven. Dry grip attracts more praise than criticism, although experiences are far from consistent. Tread life is a relative strength, with mid-life and end-of-life accounts describing slow wear, and some owners also value the low cost and comfortable ride. The average score is 50.6%, with 20 positive reviews and 27 negative, reflecting reservations that go beyond isolated complaints.

My very well treaded maximus M1 tyres have nearly killed me in wet weather due to no grip in the wet and taking off at lights is a gamble as your not sure weather you are going to collect the car next to you due to lack of traction I wouldn't recommend these tyres to my worst enemy stay clear if you drive in rain frequently regards a pissed off customer

Low speed corners in wet conditions the outside tyre simply cannot handle it, high speed easy going corners on other tyres this ones simply loses grip and goes wide. Good thing is you can easily feel the limit although is a bit abrupt

Decent in dry conditions but absolutely terrible in the wet weather, really easy to spin setting off from traffic lights and on certain occasions I could feel the car let go.

Easily the worst set of tyres I’ve ever had on a car, fine in the dry but once it’s wet you have to be very careful you will lose grip very easily.
You can almost feel the car trying to lose grip as you go round any sort of slight bend in wet conditions. On a wet roundabout all you get is major understeer unless you drive around really slowly.
Spent the extra few quid on a decent set of tyres.

They feel good on dry and wet. Good tread. Use this car for mainly city driving but also good for highway driving. Does the job

These tyres handle ok in the dry, but would have to be the worst tyres I’ve ever driven in the wet. It’s like you’re driving on soap. Very sketchy dangerous in the wet. I don’t recommend at all!!

They’re a good cheap tyre but slip in the wet particularly on tram tracks they do the job but the road noise is pretty bad.

I had a Max Trek that was only 3 years old and the tyre separated AND there was a gap developing in the tyre side. When I took it to a tyre retailer he said this was about the cheapest quality tyre you could buy for this car (Lexus hybrid). I replaced the front tyres with Michelins. The rear tyres (2 years old) will follow soon.
