switched from primacy 4's to these out of necessity.. to put it lightly these tires feel downright unsafe in relatively any condition

Most of the very negative reviews on these tires are bs maybe from the same people who feel undercut. Great deal, quality good. I've driven them in dry wet and snowy conditions.

I have had a few brands on my 2005 Ford BA XR6, these Maxtrek,, Maximus M1 235/45 R17, have out preformed all of them except for one, the Pirelli P7, but these Maximus M1’s have out lasted them all, if I have one critisim it is they do have a little louder road noise,,,, I will be buying again, that’s for sure

Great price, the M1 is a good choice for my needs, smooth ride and low noise combined with good handling. I use these on my daily driven Skyline, minimal wear after 2 years of use.

Given 37% while driving a Peugeot 308 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 12,000 average miles
Terrible. Starting driving 12 months ago, car came with these tires and they are terrible. In the rain, it is like being on ice, any corner theres sideways slide, even as low as 15mph on a roundabout, in the summer, slight power to the accelerator and they are spinning with lack of dry grip. Within 12 months I have lost over 50% of the tire tread and done 12k miles. NEVER AGAIN

Ive had these tires for two years. The 2 times I had to break abruptly (going 60kmh) the tires were smoking. The worst in wet conditions. Any uphill from full stop is almost impossible. They skate. I feel completely unsafe. They came with the car so I kept them on as we’ve been experiencing a drought and rain wasn’t an issue but now that we’ve been getting tons of rain, I don’t even take the car out anymore.

My very well treaded maximus M1 tires have nearly killed me in wet weather due to no grip in the wet and taking off at lights is a gamble as your not sure weather you are going to collect the car next to you due to lack of traction I wouldn't recommend these tires to my worst enemy stay clear if you drive in rain frequently regards a pissed off customer

Low speed corners in wet conditions the outside tire simply cannot handle it, high speed easy going corners on other tires this ones simply loses grip and goes wide. Good thing is you can easily feel the limit although is a bit abrupt

Decent in dry conditions but absolutely terrible in the wet weather, really easy to spin setting off from traffic lights and on certain occasions I could feel the car let go.

Easily the worst set of tires I’ve ever had on a car, fine in the dry but once it’s wet you have to be very careful you will lose grip very easily.
You can almost feel the car trying to lose grip as you go round any sort of slight bend in wet conditions. On a wet roundabout all you get is major understeer unless you drive around really slowly.
Spent the extra few quid on a decent set of tires.

They feel good on dry and wet. Good tread. Use this car for mainly city driving but also good for highway driving. Does the job

These tires handle ok in the dry, but would have to be the worst tires I’ve ever driven in the wet. It’s like you’re driving on soap. Very sketchy dangerous in the wet. I don’t recommend at all!!

They’re a good cheap tire but slip in the wet particularly on tram tracks they do the job but the road noise is pretty bad.
