Mid Range 19s

[AC's BA]

Hi, I got the Maxxis MA-Z1's just the other day in exactly the same profile. I paid $255 each fitted and balanced. my opinion is that they are great for the price, but don't know how long they last yet. they're actually quite good in the wet I find, but that could just be me movin up from 215's. The pamphlet says that they are "maximum wearing". not sure if it means it wears out quickly or maximises tyre life. theyre quiet and you've gotta love the rim protection feature

That sounds quite good. By the way, what is the widest tyre you can fit on a typhoon 19" rim??

You wont get mid range tyres in that price bracket...

I'm sure I recall some people here getting Dunlop SP Sport Maxx in 19" for $350

2. Michelin Pilot Preceda ($290)

3. Maxxis Victra MA-Z1 ($198) <------------

4. Bridgestone Potenza S-03 ($355)

I got the Maxxis MA-Z1 for $250 a corner. Havn't driven the car much yet as I mainly drive my work car but so far ive been for one hill drive and they seem to grip very well (for the price). They main difference is that they are so much less noisy than the Kuhmos.

The Maxxis MA-Z1 are a crap tyre.. They start off nice and quiet but wait a while.

They also go out of shape after a while, and have massive road force variances, which make it hard to get a good balance. I had the rep come out and his words to me were, even if we replace them it might happen again, so I will just refund your money.. That instills confidence in a product !!

I have since bought Falken Fk452's, which cost $300 a corner for 245/35/19's and there is no comparison in anyway.. Superior grip in both wet and dry, also very quite and have quite a stiff sidewall, excellent turn in and feedback.. You should consider these..
