Wet grip is the main concern for owners of the Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1, criticised in nearly half of the 76 written reviews, often with reports of wheelspin or sliding on damp corners. Around one in six reviews specifically criticises wet handling, while noise draws complaints in roughly one in seven. Dry grip attracts more praise than criticism, although experiences are far from consistent. Tread life is a relative strength, with mid-life and end-of-life accounts describing slow wear, and some owners also value the low cost and comfortable ride. The average score is 50.6%, with 20 positive reviews and 27 negative, reflecting reservations that go beyond isolated complaints.

These cheap shit tires were put on by a Tight Arse Dealer, without my knowledge, or consent, as part of the sale. May as well have put 4 Rubber Ducks on the alloy rims. 'Made in Indonesia': Proves that 3rd World Muslim Countries can't make real tires. Removing. DO NOT BUY!
These tires are shit house no grip in the dry and definitely no grip in the wet has as much grip as a greasy ass hole did 5 skids on them though and took nothing off them if you want something lubed up then get a woman not these ship heap tires made of poo

Had this as tire replacement for my Mercedes Benz A200, these tires are great value for money with progressive lost of traction every 14
5k, and not sudden lost. I am very satisfied for the price I paid for them at RM Rims SG. Had recommanded these tires to my daughter for her next tire change. Definitely will buy them again when my current set wear out.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Extremely satisfied with these tires for my Toyota Estima, served me well for this size its load index and speed index are difficult to find for the price. I drive only on roads with no off-road driving.
Had the Maxtrek M1 for over 45k km, and they still look good to go for another 10k to 15k. Dry grip is good but room for improvement on the wet grip. Lost is wet weather grip is progressive and not overnight. Can't complain too much base on the price to performance ratio. Would get these tires again when i need a tire change.
Simply dangerous in the wet, I have a them on a 4x4 on the front, might as well be made of wood, even in four wheel drive going round a corner is a case of will I make it, go near the brakes on damp roads and you will skid or your ABS will take its own life. IF YOU LOVE LIFE AVOID THESE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!
Got them on my V8 falcon and they are fine in the dry, but very dangerous soon as you get any moisture on the road, they just let go.
My wife was driving the car around a tight corner not even fast and the rear end let go and did a 180, lucky she missed other cars on the road and didn't go over a cliff.
Going to upgrade them soon as I get a change.

These tires were fitted to my S Type Jag 3 liter v6 1999 when I bought it 2 months ago, they were new at the time.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY LETHAL IN THE WET. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO MY WORST ENEMY!
Can't even go around a roundabout at 20 MPH in the Wet rear end just floats away!
Fitted these tires to rear of Holden Commodore VE Calais. The car feels like its on jelly. On corners that I would normally negotiate at 100kph plus these tires suddenly grip after what feel like the tire has rolled on its side wall. They are bloody dangerous and will cause a rollover. My wife noticed it immediately and asked me to have them removed. They were half the price of what I normally fit so guess what I got what I paid for but I didn't expect the tires performance to be dangerous.
borrowed my cousins 320i wich has these on the back i have a 320d with michelin ps3 on the back and these maxtreks are just plain awful. sidewall is too soft, dry grip ok for average driving. BUT! and a big but any moisture or rain and its like your on ice constantly on edge worrying at roundabouts and corners i cant not recomend these enough should not be legal
I have had these tires fitted to my car for one day. I have been had by the tire shop guy. He told me they were a high performance tire. The grip in dry is not great, it will wheelspin even in 3rd gear if pushed. The sidewall is very soft and makes the rear unstable when accelerating or cornering at speed. The rear of the car now wallows. I was just going to chalk it up to experience and deal with the poor performance. Until the road got damp. It was just damp road without rain. I coasted around a corner without brake or accelerator. The back completely slid out. I have never driven with tires so bad in my life. Acceleration in the wet has to be done so slowly else you just lose traction. I will have to take them off and get proper tires fitted, without question as soon as it gets wet these tires are deadly. Stay well away.
Looked everywhere for a good set for the rear and saw these at a local fitter. Thought I'll give em a go as wet grip was rated A and fuel consumption rated B.
I went round a roundabout at 20mph on a damp road, and felt the back sliding out. Nearly crapped myself. Also I drove up the M1 the day after fitting them, the car was tramlining, twitching all over the place. Maybe it's cos the fronts need replacing soon, but never done that on my old worn out tires. Gonna take them off and get nokian or vredestrian.
Don't buy.
