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.

No problem in dry but in the wet it's another situation. I feel the back of my car slide on wet road...( hyundai i30). There cheap and as they say you pay for what you by. I wouldn't recommend these
The tyres are ideal for agressive driving and for rough asphalt. Very acurate in cornering. The wear is very small. I think I'm going to make 10000km with them, wich is very good (I usualy make less than 8000km with other also hard to wear tyres). Driving in wet is another story it is similar to driving on the rims without tyres. Don't recomend to people who want safety and to those who doesn't feel the grip in the steering wheel. Recomend to those who suffer from excessiv tyre wear and want good grip in dry.
bought 2 tyres in June 2019 for the front wheels, its now March 2021 - i have travelled 21,122 klms in that time, plenty of wear left on the tyres. i feel the car is very unstable in the wet, slides out easily on corners and from standing start, i dont feel safe at all. the tyres seemed fine for quite a while, even in the wet conditions, but now very unsafe in the wet conditions. my driving style has not changed in the time i have had the tyres so i think they may have hardened in that time which i think would make them not grip in the wet anymore.
Perfectly good in the dry, enough lateral and braking grip to feel safe even during spirited driving. In the wet not so much, particularly around corners. Also pretty rubbish on gravel. Road noise is good below 70kph, not fatiguing above 100 though still reasonably audible. Only got them since they were suggested by a tyre dealer (first car, didn't know enough about tyres at the time to make a better judgement). Wouldn't recommend.
Bought 4 new installed 6 months in I blew a tire in a pothole
1 year in took one off due to noise in the tire
Just over a year in and I got a broken belt in one now
Had these tyres on my Mazda 121. Pretty good in the dry but really slippery in the wet, almost crashed a few times in the wet because the front end would understeer.
Put 2 on the front of my car, need 2 some months later for the rear went to a different tyre guy he said the M1 on the front were rubbish in the wet, I haven't noticed, maybe he didn't supply M1 and said this? Not sure.
