Andrew50 Member 75 Member For: 20y 2d Posted 25/10/08 12:30 PM Share Posted 25/10/08 12:30 PM Just wondering how the people with Sportmaxx as OEM tyres are finding wear/ grip / noise etc. I replaced my original SP3000A's with a full set of Sportmaxx only recently @ $220/ tyre for 235/45/17's. I could have put the originals on @ $200/ tyre but decided to go for the German higher tech tyre. Your feedback would be appreciated, I've been told that the Soprtmaxx need higher frequency rotations to extract optimum life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done 8200kms on mine and rotated them at 5000kms.They have excellent grip in the dry and I'll reserve comment for wet weather grip for when it starts raining here.I rotate my tyres every 5000kms.If anything they may be slightly noisy on the road.

I've done 4500klms and have around 65% tread left on the rear. I'll be rotating them for the first time this week. They handle quite good but struggle for traction with the rwkw I'm running. I'd like to try something with more grip. Wet weather I wouldn't really know. I drive like and old man cuz my car is deadly in the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
