Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1

I bought these 2 seasons ago (2015) as I was on a limited budget despite the reviews. In the dry they were good. I even did a couple of autocross events, and could feel how they were at the limit of grip. In the wet, they were horrible. I had to drive quite gently, and had to remind myself that these are a SUMMER TIRE and not an ALL SEASON TIRE. Naturally, they won't be that great in the wet. However, it made me more aware of what the car was doing in various conditions. Now with some mileage on them, they seem to have gotten better in the wet - today was pouring rain, and I decided to push the car more than I did when the tires were new. They seem to grip better. Now, it's important to note that when the tires were new, my suspension was on it's way out. Now with new suspension components, and new-ish tires, everything seems better than before. Would I buy these again? Probably not, unless I absolutely needed new tires, and the budget was tight. One thing is certain with these tires: it makes you aware of how road conditions should affect your driving habits, and why so many idiots end up in the ditch when the weather turns nasty.
