One word summarises these tires up. Appalling. These tires came with my car when I first bought it and the day I got rid of them for some Uniroyal RainExpert 3's was probably one of the best days of my life. The Uniroyals transformed the ride quality and handling of my car massively.

Where do I begin? The dry grip was poor and even relatively laid back driving could get them to squeal and lose traction. If you needed to get going at a junction or wanted a good set off, they'd judder and not provide good grip. The wet grip was appalling and even gentle set offs would result in heavy wheel spin and juddering. They provided 0 grip in wet and damp conditions. The handling felt imprecise and sloppy, with the grip levels being poor. I got to 60mph on a straight stretch of road and they felt very unstable! The ride quality was abysmal, making my car feel bumpy on even some of the best roads. They were very noisy as well. The wet and dry braking was poor. My fuel economy was terrible with these tires on and they had some horribly soft sidewalls so it constantly looked like I had flat tires, despite even bumping up the pressure slightly above what the manufacturer states. The only positive thing I can bring away is that they wore down at an alright pace, but I wouldn't even debate putting these on even if they lasted forever.

I doubt this tire is even sold anymore, however if you find some, do avoid them.

I have driven this model on various tires, some of them very expensive. I am utterly amazed by the Mohawks.
Compared to Michelin MXV they grip and steer just as well in the dry, are definitely quieter and less harsh on
bumps and provide quite remarkably tenacious grip on a wet road. They are stable and vibration free in high
speed cruising right up to the cars 120mph maximum. The CX carries 70% of its weight on the front wheels
so they tend to wear the front outer shoulder when driven hard. The Mohawks seem to resist this quite well so
I am expecting a life at least as long as the Michelins. If they were the same price I would still pick the Mohawks
based on performance. The fact that they are a budget tire makes them incredible value for money. I would
buy them again in a heartbeat!

Got these for my corolla diesel as they were the only ones available prior to car test. Very impressive. No traction code on the wall but the compound is very soft. I dont care if they ware fast , I drive hard and these tires are 70% as good as my proxies I use in my integra.

These were on the front when I bought my Golf TDI and I as I had not heard of them I didn't have high expectations. Now over 2 years and 36000 miles later they still have 4mm of tread and have performed really well in the dry, wet and snow. The rear Bridge stones are now in need of replacing and I am getting Mohawks to match the front. A match underrated tire.

For a budget tire these are brilliant especially in the wet and cheap enough. Think my last pair cost £70 fitted. Don't last very well on the front of heavy cars. Mine did about 10k miles. Grip deteriorates as they wear obviously but the compound seems to harden as they age. Played hell with my ABS when worn down to 4mm. I wouldn't buy any other budget tire other than these now though as I've grown to trust them.

Got an advisory warning at the M.O.T station 15 days ago so purchased 4 M716’s after reading all the bad reviews! They suited my budget and am glad I got them, these tires should be praised for there dry and especially there wet handling abilities. I just replaced all 4 Michelin Energy Saver that came with the car but at £89 each just can’t afford them. I don’t value safety over money just need to keep my car on the road. These really should have a “very good in the wet” branded on the sidewall.
