Questions and Answers for the Maxxis MA PW Presa Snow

2016-05-23 - a friend has just but a second hand car and fitted to the front is winter tires and normal tires on the rear,( front wheel drive car ) 1. is this legal and 2. can they be run in summer months as it is nearing the end of May . We stay in scotland

As long as both sets of tires are e marked and have legal tread depth, it is legal to run mixed tires. The Maxxis MA PW Presa Snow will not make for a comparable summer tire, so you might find that the car handles unsafely during emergency maneuvers. We would always recommended 4 summer tires.

Given 30% while driving a Honda Civic Type S 2.2 i CDTi (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 12,500 average miles
THE WORST TYRES I EVER HAD!

It's my 20th set of tires (the 7th of snow tires) on various cars, the most on Civic EG6, and i must say this is the first one which makes me really feel the fear to drive my actual Civic FN3.
2 seasons, 20000 km, and almost look like new, seem to be made of teflon.
If you hate someone, suggest him this tire!
I had other snow tires not so good on the snow, but i think these are truely dangerous even on dry and expecially wet roads, causing the need of constant correction on the steering even to go straight on dry road, giving no any fedback, and this is so fatiguing on long highway travels.

Given 80% while driving a Mazda 5 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
Had them for 3 winters. They were given as free winter tires when I bought my Mazda 5. Considering the bad winter conditions in Quebec, I can say these tires performed well. They are not noisy, and are good for snow, ice and rain. The only complaint is that they were very difficult to balance with my car wheels, so I would feel vibrations when driving.

Given 69% while driving a Ford MONDEO (215/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 25,000 spirited miles
Good performance for a budget price. My perception was of better traction, than EU budget tires like Matador, Tigar, Debica. Went for the reinforced version, due to the poor quality of city tarmac, in most Romanian cities.

I am running a small business and I tend to drive minimum 4.000 km / month, visiting my clients, countrywide.

Used same model of tires in two vehicles (Mondeo Mk4 + Jetta Sportwagen 2008).

Also used summer tires, by same manufacturer.

No complaint, just appreciation. I believe this kind of asian manufacturers are starting to shake the old concept of "better price, better quality", as their sales do not have to support, as well, a multinational holding, with specific losses.

From my point of view, this was my 3rd purchase of full Maxxis sets of tires and I will continue to buy more. I would not pay, again, double, for "top brands", as I personally do not perceive any quality improvement over price raise.

However, keep in mind it is just my personal opinion.
