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

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Excellent price, lasts long.
Got blown the fuck off when I tipped the dog in
Pretty dangerous tyres. I had them on two falcons (both AUIII) of varying mileage. One set on a forte which is the regular model and one set on my xr6 which has stiffer and tougher suspension/engine/handling. Both sets are less than average grip through the hills, and I regularly have wheelspin in the wet. Now, the wet handling is really the main point here. There is very little grip in the wet, and I have substantial understeer. The car will just not go where I point it. We've recently had a rain snap in my state and the car just doesn't handle very well at all, so much that one night driving back through the country I didn't feel safe doing over 60kmph. I am not a timid driver by any means and these are some scary tyres in the wet.
I Bought these Tyres brand new in Western Australia for my epic road trip around Australia.
These Tyres have been up the west coast coast to Broome, then across the Kimberly's , a little off road here and there, up to Darwin , down to Alice Springs , and Uluru etc ,
then back across the Nullabour .....
so its been about 30,000km i've done in these Tyres and their still going very strong.
i am very impressed how they have handled and the punishment they have been through .
In 3 days going 120km\h for 13hr a day , only stopping for fuel and toilet break , it pushed them to their limit through the Northern Territory back to Western Australia ...
i feel very lucky these Tyres haven't let me down
No Pun Attended lol

Crappy tyres ever specially on rear wheel drive.. Car slipped really bad in rain while taking turn on corner ... Not recommended at all .. Had to replace them straight away..
These cheap shit tyres were put on by a Tight Arse Dealer, without my knowledge, or consent, as part of the sale. May as well have put 4 Rubber Ducks on the alloy rims. 'Made in Indonesia': Proves that 3rd World Muslim Countries can't make real tyres. Removing. DO NOT BUY!
