Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1 Owner Reviews

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.

Great tires....for the desert! I drive them on my BMW 320D on the rear Axle.
When the streets are wet, its like Im driving in ice! No grip!

I wouldnt buy them again. Better spend a bit more money and buy benchmark tires.

Update from previous post: Great tires!, Now have them broken in with 3000 miles and much smoother ride that when new. They are the extra load version so is likely why longer breakin needed. Very comfortable big car ride relatively speaking for a Nissan Cube. Much better than old Toyo OEM tires. No wind buffeting issues anymore. We just had lots of snow and performed as well as you could ask for a 2wd car. Deep tread is helpful. Will post again after 10000 miles.

So far.. great tires. 1k miles. More aggressive tread than my last tires. Tread is also deeper. Noise is slightly more but not in an intrusive way. Lateral grip is great as mine are the XL (extra load) version. I have a Nissan Cube. I went up one size from stock 195 as there was plenty of room. Ride is so much better. Rides like a bigger car and much more controlled especially in windy conditions. Tire looks good. They incorporate rim protection in the bead. I gave pretty high rating for wet as deep tread helps with hydroplaning. Stopping is fine. No complaints there. Price was great too. $256us with shipping. $56 total at Walmart for mount/bal/recycle fee.
Claim is 50k mile warranty. They look up to the task. We'll see.
