Given 43% while driving a Saab Automobile 9 3 convertible S 150hp (225/45 R17 V) on mostly town for 2,000 average miles
Bought these tires, admittedly on price alone, and initially thought that they were fine. I didn't actually choose these ones but the supplier had them brought in after my wheels had been removed on the hoist.
A little extra road noise but nothing to be concerned with. I drove them on dry roads for about a thousand kilometres and thought that reviews I had subsequently read were a little fierce.
I did notice however from early on that rapid acceleration cause a slight loss of traction, even on course bitumen.
One morning, after a rainy night and on a still damp road on the way to work [luckily in no hurry on a public holiday with no traffic around me] I negotiated a slight downhill left turn to find the back end sliding right out. Years of driving in all conditions was the only thing that got the car straight again and stopped an insurance claim.
Simply - NO

Given 20% while driving a Honda Civic 1.8 VTEC Sport (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Bought it a month ago and just today had a chance to drive my 2017 civic to at least above 100km. NOT GOOD AT ALL it gave a shiver at around 70km then when you hit 99 to 105km the feeling is horrible. it is shiviring bad, Road noise is loid. I am very disapointed with it. DO NOT BUY THESE TYERS. My km odometer is only 1TKM had them for less than one month.
**** DO NOT BUY MAXTREX TIERS**** DANGEROUS****

Given 21% while driving a Saab Automobile 2.0T (210bhp) (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 600 average miles
Tried these tires, NEVER again... Car had a annoying trembly feel to it all the time, especially on very smooth hot mix, wet weather grip VERY unpredictable, tried to balance them several times, then found that were out of round,!! dealer would not take them back, OR refund, Had been buying TOYO Teo from him for ages, on my BMW,s and SAAB,s. Has lost me as a customer.

Ford 2012 series 2 XR6 non turbo (245/40 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 1,000 average miles
bought the car with these tires, lots of extra road noise, if there was a bump in the road it would sort of jump, come the cold weather and I felt a slight shudder through the steering wheel, never got to test the tires in wet weather. would never have them on my car again, very cheap and nasty. had them on my car for only 2000km's

Given 46% while driving a Holden SS Commodore (245/40 R19 R) on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
I bought these frankly because I was broke and wanted to try a cheap tire for once. I had been running Bridgestone RE50's on my Holden Commodore VE SS (V8). Bridgestones are so damn expensive and generally wear down fairly quickly on my car so I bought these thinking oh yeh they'll last longer and should be OK. I was more worried about road noise, I had read reviews it wasn't very good in the wet but figured given my cars 50/50 weight distribution, longer wheel base and stability control/lsd etc they would be OK. I was wrong. Went around a corner coming out of a round about rainy day..... bang read end slipped out from under me. Normally I can predict it even feel it being a V8....... nope. Slid like it was on ice.

Dont buy them. I dont know what I'm going to do with them yet. I've only had them on the car 2 days and I already worry about it's stopping capability. I have bigger brakes, but that wont help if tires don't grip the road.

I'm used to Bridgestones, they just work. I never had to worry about grip even when they were completely BALD! My bridgestones were like slicks just before I changed them never had grip problems in the rain. But these with full tread couldn't hold a candle against completely bald RE50's.

Police shouldn't fine people based on tread levels, they should STOP manufacturers like this making tires that are just so damn dangerous!

These things should be banned ! The most dangerous tires i have ever used in the wet. Spins on standing start, lethal around roundabouts, have done 500Km and they are coming off ASAP, Never risk your life on these tires!

The worst tire I have ever had. Awful grip in the wet and dry. I never felt confident in corners or at any time in the wet. To top it off front tire developed a bulge after 10000km. Never again.

Given 38% while driving a Mitsubishi ASX Outlander Sport (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 200 easy going miles
These tires were on the front of our ASX mitsubishi when we purchased it with only 7600km on the clock.
First time we got to drive it in the wet, it was appalling. Absolutely dangerous. even at low speed these things had no grip. Slight up hill start, no grip for traction. its not like we were driving it like a race car either. these tires should not be sold.. if they are cheap, there is a reason for it. , NEVER again will we have a car with this garbage on its wheels.

Given 100% while driving a Honda HRV (225/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 36,587 spirited miles
My regular tire shop recommended this as the best option as my vehicle only had 2 more years before scrapping, lasted me well with more than enough thread lift left. Would still get Maxtrek Maximus M1 for my new vehicle.
