Maxxis PRO R1 200/50 R15 Ford Puma 1.7 2,000 miles March 28, 2016
I found these tires shocking. My car slides when changing lanes on the motorway over the white lines. I found no grip when driving in the rain and absolutely no traction in snow.
When the weather is dry, it's not so hairy. The traction is better but living in Manchester, it's more wet than dry. I'm changing over to Uniroyal Rainsport 3. I need confidence in my tires & these just don't give it to me. They make my car feel dangerous. I drive a Ford Puma. They are a fun car to drive. It's not fun with these tires & I miss being able to corner safely at reasonable speeds. I definitely would not recommend them.
