Tyre reviews Maxxis AT-980E Worm-Drive 52

This tire was bought as a replacement for MT as I mainly drive on asphalt.

First impressions:

1. Softer than BF Goodrich
2. Worthy tread pattern
3. Weakened sidewall
4. Balances perfectly at 60g per wheel
It grips very well for a street tire.

Now, about the huge minus:

1. New tire tread depth at the center - 12.3 mm
2. 3500 km – tread depth - 10.

When purchasing, they were very well balanced.
For the size 285/60/18 - 90 grams is normal.
After about 500 km, rebalancing was done, with minor deviations - and everything was ready for operation.
After about 1,000 km, noise started, and this is the first tire out of several AT tires that makes so much noise. But okay, a premium noise-reducing system is installed on the car - let others suffer.
After another 5,000 km, I noticed abnormal wear. The total mileage is just over 6,000 km, and about 25% of the tread is already gone!!!
What is this? I won't say for other cars, but it seems that for a cruiser, this tire is not suitable, it's too heavy for it. Although when I bought it, I took the LT version specifically!
During operation, I drove on dirt and mountains. It drives well, and it also cleans well.
BUT THE WEAR! For that kind of money!
In short, I definitely do not recommend it for cruisers.

Hello everyone, I've traveled about 2000 km on this tire and I think it's enough to leave my review. I switched to AT Maxxis Worm-Drive 265/70 R16 with MT Comforser CF3000 265/75 R16, and my review will be about its performance in winter conditions. I'm from western Siberia, and the temperature range is from -10 to -35 (I don't drive in even colder temperatures), with frozen asphalt, icy

High-performance tire for mud and snow. On dry and wet asphalt, drives quietly at 150-160 km/h, aquaplaning not noticed. All winter drove on p-p, didn't slip anywhere. Does not drive on ice.

I used Maxxis for the first time, drove 150 city, 50% highway, 50% and used it for winter hunting. Very satisfied. All mud on the tread, not especially noisy I don't need to change. From the minus side, it's a city tire, heavy, I think I'm feeding it a lot more than Prado on the road, roughly half a liter per hundred. I recommend it.

Off the road - ON FIRE, heavy. Dragged back on the road.

I replaced my worn-out Nokian Hakkapeliitta with new 265/70 R16 tires in March, as it was still winter up here beyond the Polar Circle. To be honest, I can only handle temperatures below -10°C with four-wheel drive, but it drives fine. On snow, this tire only grips straight ahead, whereas the Hakkapeliitta would have been better suited to this job. I've snowplowed at 0.5 atm and it performs well,

Replaced these tyres in spring 2017, current mileage is about 12000 km. For 215*70*16 size, an optimal price/quality ratio. On the track, it does not hum too loudly, it holds the road perfectly. Sharp braking on the ice and wet asphalt can rip the tire off with a screech. On wet clay, it showed itself quite well, grips, self-cleans, exits the track slightly worse, than MT. Now, a set

Two summer seasons, wear 10%, no more. On dry asphalt, it's super, the car brakes and steers great. In the rain, it starts to float closer to 100, and that's in deep water, it brakes decently, I think other tires behave the same way. Off-road, they can be compared to M/T. This is the best A/T tire I've had (I've had two sets of Goodrich, Michelin, Yokohama, Hankook, Maxxis 711, and something else) - the car has been in one hand for 19 years, mileage is close to 800. The only thing I didn't like was that it's noisy.

I ordered the AT-980 BRAVO but got the Worm-Drive instead, not sure what the difference is. In general I'm satisfied with the tread. It handles ice poorly, but excels on snow. It was unbalanced, previously I had M/T yokohama geolendar on disks and had no balance issues. Also, it performed decently in the mud.
