How do these tires do in the winter with snow and ice?
July 31, 2023
The FORTIS T5 is a summer bias tire so it will likely have very poor performance on snow and ice.
Are maxtrek tires safe even though they are made in China? I’d really like to buy a set. Thanks for your time and patience.
September 22, 2018
Maxtrek are a budget tire manufacturer so while they won't perform the same as a premium or mid range tire brand, they're should be E marked which makes them safe for sale in the EU.

These tires were fitted to my long term loaner, as my family had the need for a big 7 seater. They were at 5.5mm at the start in April. I never would've thought that these chinese tires could be so bad. Apart from an acceptable level of dry grip, they were horrendous in the wet. If I had had any sort of choice if I would have fit this tire on one of my cars, then I'd honestly rather walk, because I do not trust these tires. These tires have to be avoided under any circumstances.

We have Goodyear Efficient grip on our Ford Everest but we changed after almost 2 years because of signs of early worn out. Then I saw the review on Maxtrek Fortis T5 and tried on our Everest. It's more than 2 years now and still good on the road. Good dry grip and decent on wet road. I reckon it could last another year or two. I never expect a much affordable tire like this with superb performance. Surely we'll buy again in next tire change.

Stock Goodyear Efficient grip ware early less than 2 years and we tried fitting Maxtrek Fortis T5 on our Everest and so far the tires still in good condition after almost 2 years. Very quiet on the road. Decent handle and drip. We will buy again next tire change.

Installed these on my charger and I noticed a change in the way the car handled right away. They hold their own on corners and they are even extremely quiet and comfortable. I will update later on wear after I have a few thousand miles on them.

Had these tire fitted as replacement of my Michelin Latitude Sport Nspec tires, was expecting the tires to not perform for the price paid, but surprisingly the ride comfort and handling remains at a sinlar level to the Original Michelin. Tire thread life also exceed my expectation. Would definitely recommand these tires as Premium Budget range and not low tier budget tires.

Had them fitted with a new set of wheels on my Toyota Camry. Very responsive road hold and dry grip. Wet grip can be improved. More value then what i paid for, surely will buy again.
