Utter rubbish , bought in 2019 and only doing 2000 miles a year by 2023 they were dry rotted and cracking up . Dry grips OK , wet grip was terrible - so much so my Mercs traction control had quite a work out just pulling out of junctions
Absolutely no lateral grip in the wet, noisy, hard compound spoils the ride and terrifying in the wet. Fitted to a car purchased a week ago second hand, replacing now with Fulda Eco Control, the exact opposite of these truly awful tires.

Bought theze from HiQ Tirez, having asked for medium range tyde. Never heard of them before but have now driven for around 1000 miles on them on the front. Have been OK in dry weather but with the first rain for a while, I have nearly scared myself stupid several times. I thought it was just a road surface problem at first but now don't trust the tires. Pulling away from a junction in the wet, I get wheel spin most times. AVOID THESE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Mohawk M112? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Have driven on these for a few hundred miles from brand new and were worst mistake I have ever made in tire choice, should be banned as so dangerous grip in anything other than bone dry must be a Z in tire rating and dry grip a F
These are the worst tires I have ever owned. Put on for me by TRUST Ford Bradford. They must have really disliked me. They are dangerous and feedback from them is none existant. If you have some drive with caution.
Inherited Mohawk tires when I bought an MX5 - lost back end several times on roundabouts in rain - replaced them with with Michelin Pilot Sport and the difference is unbelievable.
Bought tires second hand 3 months ago, had no trouble whatsoever. I would say, the users with the grumbles have not looked closely enough at the tire walls and seen the word ' outside' printed on them and put them on the wrong way round.
I inherited these tires on my Saxo VTR (No, I'm not a boy racer - I'm in my 40's) and can quite confidently say they are dreadful in the wet, actually downright dangerous.
The tires have very little wear, so it isn't down to their age. At the slightest hint of moisture on the road driving becomes more like a "skidpan" experience. Aquaplaning across two lanes on the motorway while only doing 55mph is not remotely amusing, nor is having to hold my breath every time I enter a roundabout. If you have these tires, get them changed ASAP - the cost will pay for itself next time it rains.

Used these for a few years now, small Corsa van. Average around 45-50k miles per set of tires and they perform great all round. I do a lot of miles, sometimes 2 sets per year so have plenty of use/experience with them.
I had Federals and Hankooks before these and I rate the Mohawk's better in every respect.
All good for a semi budget tire, and better than some big brand names
can confirm everything said about this tire. Lost the back end 90 degrees on roundabouts a few times while WET/DAMP. The wear rate is so bad my polo looks like it has a massive void in the wheel well now. I only drive mainly motorway miles but the wear is worst i have ever seen.
WARNING: IF YOU CHANGE TO WINTER TYRES ON THE FRONT AXEL DO NOT LEAVE THESE ON THE BACK, the difference in grip between front to back will be dramatic and you will end up in a mess.
never buying again. currently looking for alternative tire.
Inherited these on a recent second hand car purchase
Fairly mediocre in the dry, lack any real feedback at all
But that is not the highlight, the wet grip is like having banana skins on each corner.
Approaching a roundabout in mildly damp conditions at approx 20 mph - leisurely pace for the road, no real traffic (thank christ!) and the back end let go without any warning whatsoever. I mean literally no feedback that it was going to go, one minute planted and going around the roundabout from 6 to 3 o'clock position and at 12 o'clock position the back end swung out 90 degrees! Luckily managed to recover into a drift with a swift bit of steering and exit out of my intended target - all down to years of experience on the road, track and IAM advanced driving. If the wife had been driving the car would have been smashed no doubt at all.
Only slightly positive thing is that given they appear to be made from a non-wearing rubber compound they should last an eternity, assuming you don't write your car off in the wet of course!
