Tyre reviews Maxxis HP-M3 Bravo. Page 2 302

Very good, at least for me, I didn't find any minuses for the season, I only took VK summer MAXXIS and winter MAXXIS - non-studded, all in Moscow (winter for the third season - excellent result, will last for at least three more seasons), review personally from me - driving experience since 1982 .... I recommend, Mosshina is an excellent company!

Traveled 60,000 km. City and highway. Tires bought after own ("poop"). Advantages: 1. It feels almost no camber, only a little. Does not pull to the side, does not vibrate, does not wobble, does not hum. Drives like on rails. 3. It brakes well. 4. It swallows both small and medium-sized undulations perfectly, transmits no vibration to the body. In

Tread

A very good quality tire, even compared to European brands.
Very quiet, holds the road perfectly on dry and wet roads.
Strong sidewalls, no complaints with normal use.
Medium, even wear.
I rated it simply because you should use tires according to the season in winter.
In general, I highly recommend.

Definitely one of the best price to quality combination. Balanced normally. No worse than the standard Ekagona. They hold the road well. Noise level is normal.

It's ambiguous. Before that, I used TOYO OPEN U/T (according to experts, it was the quietest one). Yes, for the first 2-3 years. Then it howled and whistled on turns like Formula 1. I sold it with a remaining tread of 4 mm (not bad for 7 years). And now I'm facing a dilemma in 2024 - which Chinese tire to choose. I took the old-timer Maxxis Ache P M3 Bravo. Size 225/60-17 for the Sportage. It's soft and quiet. At the standard pressure of 2.2, it seems underinflated. When inflated to 2.5, it's a bit stiff. And everything would be fine, but there was an episode on the highway. Cheboksary-Moscow. Speed 140 km/h. May. Dry. Light. When driving over unnoticed potholes, it blew out so that the wheel started behaving like it had a torn cord with a characteristic thud-thud-thud. I stopped and... nothing. No bulges, no cuts... I cautiously started moving - no comments. It was as if nothing had happened. Further on, without incident. On the way back, approximately on the same section near Vladimir, the same thing happened again. Pothole. Blowout. Thud-thud-thud... Stopped. Checked and nothing.

That's what it was. It didn't happen again. The road was without a washboard. What's causing the resonance to produce thud-thud-thud? Maybe the cord turns into an oval after the impact? But how?

Has anyone encountered such a thing?

When replacing the original Continental, I carefully selected the new one based on various parameters, and importantly, spent some time reading real users' reviews of this model. Although our period of use was short, a month, during which we drove from Crimea to the rough roads of Orenburg and Bashkiria, the tires performed well. They drained water and smoothed out the rough road surface. I highly recommend.

For this money, the fuel consumption became a bit but better on a flat asphalt in the cabin, only the engine is audible. I'll dig up more money and put this brand on a microbus; it's worth it.

I recently bought a R17 21555 for my strong 175 horsepower diesel Ford Galaxy, replacing a very worn out Michelin, but of course after such a change, the only impressions that remain are positive ones. Yes, it's China, but China is famous, with a history and with excellent technology, of course, their main successes with tires for mud and the like are well-known. Let's hope that their highway tires will be at the same level as their "mud tires."

High-quality tires, highly recommended!
