cooltint Member 686 Member For: 21y 7m 10d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast QLD Posted 28/12/07 08:31 AM Share Posted 28/12/07 08:31 AM Hi All, Merry Xmas and happy New Year,I'm in the market for some new tyres and have read with interest re the Marangoni Mythos tyres from Italy. Apparently they won the latest tyre test from Motor Magazine. As yet I've been unable to find the test posted anywhere and I'm not sure which edition it was in so tracking it down has been a bit painful. If anyone is able to post up the said results I'd be most appreciative.Also if anyone knows who stocks them in Qld and preferably the Gold Coast that would be great as well.Thanx in advance.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sharp, balanced: really nice. In fact, they were so confidence-inspiring that you really didn't mind having a hot go with them, because they'd hang in there. They were also great on change of direction and super stable under brakes. I like them a lot."Overall results are...1st: Marangoni Mythos2nd: Bridgestone Potenza3rd: Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-03 4th: Falken FK 4525th: Dunlop SP Sport Maxx6th: Maxxis MA-Z1 VictraAll tyres tested were 245/45 ZR18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These flat to the floor coming out of tight second gear corners up hill no wheel spin at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I hear of these tyres the more I want to try and track them down. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for those sizes?Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
