    tyre review - Maxxis MA-Z1 Victra

    so i thought i'd let you in on how these things go, after a little wet weather we've had.

    basically - GREAT. these tyres are really sticky in the wet. seem to be exceptional in straight line wet grip, both accelerating and braking. cornering they seem on par with conti's i've had and driven on.

    still havent really pushed them in the dry.

    very quiet tyres - very little noise at any speed.

    i would say the best value for money in this size range i've ever had.

    Exactly what i found. I'm very impressed with the ones on the Caddy.

    I have them on my 16's and I found the same as you. Very good value for money.

    Sweet, will look into them when my tyres need a replacement. If only my wheels were half an inch wider for that look even 195's on my wheels just don't have any stretch.

    They look great dude

    looks good, I might get 195's on my 8"s, but will look different because I will get 40s.

    195/40R16? Let us know how you go with that, availability- and cost-wise!
