Maxxis RAZR HT780 Reviews

Replaced a set of performance premium brand tyres which lasted only 28,000 km.  Those tyres were great as far as grip and performance in all conditions and were extremely quiet to drive on, almost to the point of being silent.  I attribute the quick wear to the coarse bitumen roads in poor condition that are not well maintained and are littered with potholes, uneven surfaces, ruts and repair patches.  Also, the Kluger is a heavy car.  The Maxxis HT780 tyres are noisier but not overly so and conversations in the car are not affected.  The Maxxis grip is superb in the dry and the steering is lighter and much more responsive than the previous tyres giving a much quicker turn in and better response to steering input.  The ride is also better with the thumping over bumps now absent.  Wet road driving is also more stable without the tugging at the steering when sheets of water or large puddles are encountered.  Patches on the road have little to no effect on the straight tracking, something that always occurred with the previous tyres wanting to follow the grooves jn the road.  Overall, the Maxxis HT780 tyres are a welcome change to the previous top brand performance tyres and apart from being slightly noisier appear to be better in all other areas.  Long term wear is not yet known but I expect better than the 28,000 from the previous tyres.  I'm an older driver and stick mainly to bitumen roads.
