Marangoni Mythos

[hypnodoc]

At 18500 klm the back tyres were about 2 mil away from the limit markers so I replaced them with a couple of 19inch Marangoni Mythos.

Impression so far? A great tyre good rear end grip and stability. Half the noise and twice the grip of the stock Dunlops, and its nice to lose the rumbling drone the Dunlops make. The tyre joint started at $400 each and haggled down to $330 each so I might do the fronts next week.

More than happy with mine, definitely be buying the Mythos again when the tyres are ready for replacement.

Just wish more people stocked them, as they can be a little hard to get sometimes.

They are such a good tyre. I agree with the road noise reduction from the factory Dunlops. I've also found on warm days that rocks get stuck in the tyre surface and you can see where they melt in. I'm guesing that they are a softer compond and hence why they are offering more grip.

I'm running smokeahama Advans all round. The rears are shot, fronts are about 75%. Thought they stuck pretty well.

That said not one skid on this rubber.Second gear seems problematic for me. Yet they're gooooorne.

Expensive @ ~ $400 bucks a corner I am looking for other options

Try T1R's mate. When warmed up they hook like no other street legal tyre.

Very happy with mine (Mythos) and will be buying again for sure great grip in wet and dry.

It's how they are gripping when well worn that'll be interesting. New tyres work well and the sh*t ones then go off very fast.

I find that after a quick couple of 2nd gear warm up rotations, they are excellent grippers!

Sorry, I meant R1R's, not T1R's!

Very true, mine were awesome. Got about 18,000kms out of them. Went to Ozzy tyres to get replacements and they didn't stock them anymore .

Excellent value for money tyre. On a stock T running 275/30/19's you are hard pressed to lose traction in the wet. Did a run out of Jenolan caves. Full throttle out of tight second gear corners in the wet & it just gripped and charged out of the corners. On the couple of times they lost traction it broke away so smoothly.
