very good tires especially for the price! given these tires a good testing in all conditions and they perform excellently! only reason I bought these was because the Hankook V12 evo's went up massively in price in my size so was looking for a tire that performs well without breaking my wallet at the same time! very good feed back even in the wet, very progressive and they give you plenty of warning that you are driving like a spanner well before they let go traction wise. very impressed with these indeed.

only found one downside that is now that they are getting low around 3mm they are a little noiser and the grip is slightly less now in the wet,greasy weather but I can live with that after the abuse they have taken!

These tires really do not get on with the fabia vrs. Good idea with the wall of the tire as it protects your rims & in fairness they do perform well but for a very small window of time. Be warned

A Fansastic tire in all conditions fitted to my MINI Cooper S, superb grip never let go even when giving plenty of stick and at rediculous speeds!!
would i buy again 100% i reccommend these to everyone.

Follow me in the mini challenge!!

Great Tires.

I switched these out from a set of Dunlop 9000 Sport tires which I ride during the summer season. Those are excellent summer sport tires but not so great in unsavory road conditions. However these Maxxis Tires are great so far through the winter season! Granted my climate is somewhat mild in the southern United States, I have seen some snow and heavy rain. They have been great! Also, the noise and comfort level is very comparable to Michelin and Bridgestone products I have spent tons of money on in the past!

After a little scrubbing in they hanlde well in dry conditions. with a good suspension setup you can bring the best out of these tires.

Wet conditions came after about 1,500 miles - good grip with lots of feedback.

Also has good snow traction, a little slippage but with a good tread pattern these perform well.
