Those tyres are lethal when the roads are wet... ordered a different pair of tyres to replace these tracmax, I’m having lots of fun destroying them with wheel spins for now until the new ones are fitted.

If you value your life, don’t buy those tyres. Dangerous is an understatement.

I purchased my tyres in September 2014 and since then did about 60 000kms and now I am needing to replace. They were reasonably priced, wrong, quite cheap in comparison with Continentals and more hard wearing. The Continentals were soft and I had issues and never had any issues with the Tracmax. I drove on dirt roads and tarred roads and never ever had issues. Sad, as I moved towns, now to try and find a supplier in my area. Really Great brand

Just had to replace my second tyre within 2mths for "separation". the webbing separates and gives a hell of a handling issue.

Good grip in the dry. Lots of road noise. Terrible grip in the wet. Tyre tread is peeling off like a re-tread. Would not recommend to anyone even for the price. If I die as a result of the peeling tyre before I replace the tyres in 2 days time, I will be very upset...

Updating my previous review, I have now replaced the rear Falkens with Tracmax's, which I now have all round. The treadwear claims to be 180 but the fronts are now nearly a year old and are still about 70%. Ally this to their ridiculously low price and it makes them a serious contender. My only hesitation is that they're not too confidence inspiring in the wet, but since I don't take corners at full chat in the rain that's not a big deal.

Due to poor wheel alignment on my Evo X (juiced by TMR to 270kw) I was forced to replace the fronts at short notice and could only afford cheapies. However, the Tracmax are comfortable, sticky and not unpleasant to look at. Wet grip is ok provided you drive within your limit, noise is better than the Falkens or even the stock Dunlops so much that I often forget I'm driving a chiropractor's wet dream. The Tracmax go where I point them, feel less 'springy' than the Falkens and are undoubtedly the best tyre I have ever bought for $140 (Australian) . Of course I haven't tracked them and can't comment on wear yet. I do most of my driving on country roads and freeways, and I want a tyre that doesn't force me to slow down for corners, and allows my wife to drag HSV's and M3's at the lights enroute to her meth dealer. She's unbeaten as yet and I've yet to hear a chirp from the tracmax. Best $280 I ever spent on front tyres.
