Maxxis offers both winter and all-season options

Maxxis produces tyres for the range of weather conditions, from the high performance PRO R1 summer tyre to the MAPW performance winter tyre. Despite originating in Taiwan, the company’s research and development department has even created a range of Nordic tyres specifically designed for Scandinavia and its severe weather conditions. These extreme tyres come with advanced tread compounds, high density sipes, and a rectangular shoulder profile that helps expand surface contact and provide extra safety in all conditions, meaning they work differently to other winter tyres due to the severe weather conditions.

Like many tyre manufacturers Maxxis points out that most of the UK has an average temperature of below seven degrees Celsius from November through to March, meaning that when temperatures fall below seven degrees Celsius, it is significantly safer for drivers to use winter tyres during this period. However the company also produces a range of all-season tyres.

Maxxis’ range of all-season tyres deliver optimal performance in all weather conditions, due to its all-weather tread compounds that have been developed for its range of all-season tyres. Maxxis’ range of all-season tyres help improve performance and driving stability on wet roads and increase traction and handling in snowy conditions, meaning that drivers all around the globe can benefit from one of the world’s top ten tyre manufacturers technology.

The MAAS tyre features an “advanced tread compound” and unidirectional tread design which is said to help increase traction and provide improved handling, offering drivers greater performance and stability in wet and snowy conditions, as well as a quieter ride with increased tyre life.
