They were taken off in the first one hundred km as when you turn the steering wheel at 110kmhr and the car goes straight ahead there is a problem. I got a full refund and replaced them. I was driving a Mazda Tribute.

Maxtrek EU label data
7 of the 15 tires on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tire's best available size figures.
B Best wet grip
4 tires reach EU wet grip class B. The highest scoring:
B Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 3 tires reach rolling resistance class B. The highest scoring:
69dB Quietest tires
The quietest tires in the range are labelled from 69 dB external noise:
- Maxtrek INGENS A1 5.2
- Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1 3.4
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
Installed on a f350 truck get great grip in snow not so good on ice but much better than the full summer tires I had on. Good from the price
I like these better than the joyroads I put on my other truck
I like these better than the joyroads I put on my other truck
Traction control kicked in almost every time I touched the brakes in wet weather, cornering was done at below 30mph to ensure no drift. Dry weather was better if road surface was very rough.
Deadly dangerous, came on a Mondeo TDCi that I bought. Like almost ZERO grip in the wet, poor grip in dry too with wheel spin fron pull away at junctions
One tire (back left) lost two chunks of rubber on inside and failed NCT because of this, another (front right) delaminated as I drove along
The most DANGEROUS tire I have ever encountered, just ordered four GT Radial Champiros which I've been running since a hesitant experience with them on a Golf GTi that showed me how good they were

These would be good if it never rained. It does however rain. Dangerous hydroplaning and wheel spin under light acceleration during slight rain. Utter Garbage
Possibly the worst tires I've ever had on the car. Grip was terrible from new. In any wet conditions there were spinning wheels taking off from a junction, slipping on roundabouts, squeals on corners. May be due to the car itself but they wore slowly across the main tire surface but very quickly on inner edge. Would absolutely avoid.
