Good confidence inspiring grip in the dry. Comfort was also good even for a performance oriented tire. Wear seemed to be on par with most other tires i've used previously. Wet grip is very poor, especially on smooth tarmac.

Very good dry and wet grip in terms of acceleration braking and handling.also when using in minus 5 degrees dry or slightly damp roads yes when ice is possible. Going more easy was still grippy so then pushed on some more even on roundabouts and still gripped very well and felt safe. Which I was impressed with as these are summer tires not winter or all season tires .so wasn't expecting tires I was already impressed with to be safe at these conditions also .final verdict very good capable tires.

Excellent tires but the wear rate is so high only 37km for a set. I am not a fast driver, my last set did 60km. Would not buy again due to the wear.

After watching the tire reveiw on these tires it perked my interest. I have run Bridgestone RE003's on my previous car which i was impressed with. Being that i wanted a more budget friendly option for my daily driver and it isnt a performance vehicle I was interested to give these Maxxis tires a go. I also found an australian magazine review on the HP5' s which it won the tire test. Over the past 6 months since purchase, I have been very impressed with the dry and wet grip these deliver, they have great feedback and on highway driving they have minimal noise. For the price point I would be recommending them for anyone who has a daily driver, family vehicle. For a more powerful perfromance vehicle, these may not give you the grip you require.

Switched to this brand after 6 years of going through more than a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE03s per year. I’m a spirted driver as I like to get the most out of my MX5 roadster at legal speeds by throwing the car into corners and still aiming to drive safely.
I run them at 38psi as I need to travel over a windy hill to and from work every that has an 80kph limit and not good camber in the corners.
I found the Potenzas to be a bit soft in the sidewalls which caused uneven wear on the rims and would occasionally feel the back of the car could fishtail if I’d pushed 5kph too much in the corners.
Absolutely no such problem with these Maxxis tires and they are wearing evenly after about 5000ks of use. I absolutely will be buying them again.

Very pleased with performance vs price for these tires.
Having previously used premium and scary budget tires these definitely perform toward the premium end of scale.
Although Taiwanese made these tires are being used as oem by many manufacturers which confirms my experience.
Would definitely buy again.

Throttle control is no longer necessarily needed

Hp5 maxxis Once I hit the chip seal on nz roads they are loud and leads to a terrible ride very disturbing .radio doesn't help.i read somewhere very quiet bs .only quiet on good tar Sealed roads.. wish I never got them.

Bought a Honda Civic with these tires fitted, and covered 25,000 miles since. Could throw the car into bends in the Scottish mountains, in the rain the grip is great and never aquaplain. Was quite skeptical abour these tires and was going to replace them with Continentals but these have impressed me so much that I have ordered them again!

I don't know where I got the fact that these were quiet tires off some website but these are noisy. Waste of money and dearer then the Nexen cp7 I wanted in first place but harder to get. Don't get if you like quiet tires. As soon as you hit the chip seal it's like rumble in the jungle

Couldn't get hold of Falken tires, so opted for these as they were rated high for wet grip and fuel efficiency. They are OK, feel a little soft, pretty good in the wet, but at speed they are awful. I have a Volvo S80 D5 (twin turbo), I can always drive with one hand on the steering wheel at speed on the motorway, but with these tires no chance. The car tries to break away when cornering at speed, the tires have a sliding feel and although I can manage speed with these, they keep you on your toes and keep both of your hands firmly on the the steering wheel. It almost feels as if you are fighting with an invisible force. I would not recommend these and I can't wait until they wear out.

Theese tires are excellent in all conditions except in hard wet braking on bad asfalt. I am driving 2 and half years and they are still good.

My 2017 Clio 1.2 Turbo GT Line came out of the factory on Michelin Primacy 3, which was a very pleasant tire but only lasted about 17.000 km. The Maxxis HP5 is very close to the Michelin both in dry and wet, really only a few % off. Noise levels and drive comfort same story. But the Maxxis HP lasted 26.000 km, which is quite astonishing for my sporty driving style. HP5 isn’t the sportiest tire but I value the comfort as well. Only negative om this tire is the end-of-live performance, more sudden oversteer (when asked for

Based on various factors and personal experience, this is a good tire. In terms of parity
