Great expwrience – I could pick a convenient time to suit me, it was a quick process and having it done at home meant I didn’t need to take a day off work! Would definitely recommend! Very friendly service!
Great tyre – Terrific tyre that handles well in both the wet and dry. I have about 30,000k's on a set. The pricing is very competitive. I will be fitting them again when these tyres wear out. Show details
Good for 2 years – I have been using these tyres on my Mazda 6 for 2 years (225/55/17). They handle well in all weather conditions. I got a puncture at 40,000 kms and it destroyed one of the tyres. Decent tyres for a good price. I paid $200 each for them. Show details
Fantastic wet weather performance – I bought a set of these (215/45/17) for my Toyota Caldina. I had numerous tyres over the years (12) and these were the best. I drove that car to the edge and the most important aspect was wet weather braking and handling. Couldn't fault them. Got some real nasty bends near my place and in the driving rain, was able to still go flat out without… Read more
losing traction. Stopping in the wet was also amazing. Had to stand on the brakes on the M4 in Sydney when old mate decided to stop in front of me. Was able to not hit him and change lanes in the wet at 110Km/h. Totally recommend these if you enjoy driving spirited.
Goodbye Supercats – Just picked up a full set of these 215/60r16 maxxis tyres. $109 each from tyrepower to replace some supercats with full tread still, yet old enough to have hardened up considerably. Took the fairmont out for a 100km drive straight away, what a difference... Confidence in corners, no noise and fantastic grip!! Show details
Great value for money – Purchased a set in December 2020 for 2013 Mazda 6 Touring sedan. 225-55-17 size relatively uncommon and often expensive for the so called premium brands. These Maxxis tyres came out on top in Wheels Magazine test in 2017. Saved around $80 to $100 per tyre. So far seem to be at least as good as original Toyos and seem to be quieter too. Hard to beat for value and quality. Show details
Under rated tyre – These tyres are fitted to 2 of our cars We had excellent performance with good grip in dry and wet conditions with the regulated speed limits on public roads The noise is very low from these tyres One set is fitted on my heavy chrysler sebring of 1995 kgs..Perfect..The pt sticks to the road..Both cars no slides..The maxxis is well priced and offers more ,,I recommend them Show details
No real free "30 day satisfaction guarantee" - Read the fine print – Purchased a set of HP5s from a Gippsland dealer November 2019. Less than 3 weeks later one tire had a puncher from something so small you could not see it. This destroyed the tire as I didn't know it was flat for a few KMS (the joys of low profile). Lucky? Had years without punchers with previous brand, this was naturally disappointing. I… Read more
would have asked for the money back guarantee seeing as I had to pay for another tire with the owner bitching because a very nice staff member tried to get me cost on the 2nd tire. It seems the HP5s are not particularity puncher resistant something I'd really like in a tire. This is nothing to do with the team store, they are between a rock and a hard place but selling heaps of Maxxis brand their supplier should be able to cut them some slack for the sake of the brand. I see from the site that the 30 day offers fine print is hidden on another page without "terms and conditions apply" (+ a $$ Charge) disclaimer from the main page.
Do your research – Was going to buy Bridgestone Potenza tyres foy my Mitsubishi 380 but decided on these after reading the wheels tyre test 2017. For $95 each they offer excellent value as they are my first quality tyre. They are quieter than the Bridgestone ecopia's i had but they gave long milage. I have only travelled 1500km so will have to wait to see how they wear. At this early stage the car handles and feels safer, i mostly do country miles, so far im happy. Show details
Definitely worth getting these – I asked for a quote from local dealer here at Paget Discount Tyres & Batteries (Mackay, QLD) and Tim Heel, the Store Manager matched a quote I had from another major chain, and since I've been to Paget Discount Tyres & Batteries before, I went with them. Tim sent me a PDF Brochure showing the Maxxis HP5s to win Wheels Magazine's Tyre of the… Read more · 1
Year 2017.
What struck me was the phenomenal Wet & Dry Braking Tests against other leading brands, and they were placed 1st on each test, which was of the utmost importance before "how long do they last?"
In the tests, I saw the difference of 3.24 metres for the Dry Brake Test, between the Maxxis and last place, and each tyre was tested over 50 times all starting braking from 80 kmph.
The Wet Brake test (the most important to me) was even better. It stopped 2.5 metres shorter than the 'average' tyre, and a staggering 4.6 m than the last placed tyre.
Full set of tyres, fitted/balanced/wheel alignment (and that's definitely the best wheel alignment I've had for a damn long time), for a very respectful $585.
I had Maxxis on the car previously and this set were an upgrade from those, and they certainly were 'upgraded' tyres, definitely the best handling, or any tyres I've had over the past 4 decades, low road noise, no 'squeeling' when going around a round-a-bout or tight turning on concrete. I feel just 'safe' with these puppies on the wheels.
Certainly will be going back to Paget Discount Tyres & Batteries @ 105 Archibald Street, Paget (Mackay) QLD 4740

For some reason I see on the review they are 'Discontinued' which they certainly am NOT, they only come out around October last year (2017) and Tim said they certainly will be around for a while with that tread pattern being a winner from Wheels Magazine.
Top Tyre at lower price – This tyre is much cheaper than the top named tyres yet handles and grips like the best A rated in the wet and lives up to that rating - I even had a quick drive in snow and for a summer tyre it was very good. This surpasses all other tyres I have had before - nice straight line stability on motorways - responsive around corners and bends - I have yet to see how long it last in terms of wear. It also has a reassuring strong side wall. Show details · 4
