Holden SS Commodore Tyres

The Marangoni tyres saved me from a sideways drift accident with another vehicle on a slightly damp, multi-laned road. The Marangonis really assist tracking and correction if you can drop the power quick enough to allow the wheels to engage the road between gear shifts on this monster. That snaps it straight back into line. I must have missed the dude by no more than 5mm.

It is a 462hp V8 auto, and with the HD trans it fishtails during gear shifts under power. There is no tyre that can resist this motor, but the Marangoni Mythos are having a pretty good try.

Highly recommended tyre!

Good all round tyre...presume a new compound is being used as these tyres grip well in all conditios..well worth a look and the price...

Apart from the tyres being difficult to balance well and needing a good bit more weights added on the wheels that the string of Bridgestones (B530,So2,RE-050 & RE-050A) never needed or had problems with, and they had more road noise, they provided a good bit more grip and for spirited driving & the car was nicer to drive with an absence of tyre squeal when cornering. Would buy again if the quality control could be improved re. balancing issues.

I run a RWD Street Car - a 462BHP V8 with Marangonis, and am quite happy with the Mythos tyres' ability to hold the road, especially in lateral situations like cornering and hard turning at speed.

There is no tyre known to humanity that can hold this baby on the ground if you want to make the rear wheels spin, but the Marangonis do a great job trying.

This tyre is quite a popular alternative to its Pirelli equivalent here in Australia for Street Commodores.

I've given the tyre a high Wet Rating because I always slow down a bit in the wet, and the braking ability of the Marangonis is without complaint as such. (462hp and wet city roads don't go very well together)

The best tyre ever tried. Only downside was difficulty in getting them balanced.

Awesome tyre. Great grip in wet and dry. Performance in wet did wear off a little after about 3 years despite plenty of meat left on the tyre. Don't know what people are talking about this tyre wearing out quickly. I've done nearly 90,000 k, and am likely to get another 10,000. I bought it because i thought it was a soft compound tyre, but i must have been mistaken. Thinking of replacing with another set of same, but am also tempted to check another tyre out just for the hell of it. Overall 9/10.

These came on my Holden SS-V (1800kg) and have so far gone 33,000km. And are probably getting on there last legs.

A lot quieter than the 2 sets of Toyos i had on my previous commodore. (Proxes T1S and Proxes4)

I wouldnt hesitate in buying these tyres again they are fantastic. But at $450 a corner its going to hurt the wallet.

A great all round tyre and very good feedback in the dry. Not as good a wet weather performer as some previous tyres I've used like the Michelin Pilot Sports but still very progressive and easy to read and control. Much better wear than similar performers and really came into it's element on a few track days. A bit noisy on rough highways surfaces but this is well outweighed by the positive points. Definitely one of the better tyres short of a semi-slick at the track. Off to buy another set today.

On my second set now, first set lasted about 20,000miles. Overall very happy with these tyres. Good outright dry grip and nicely progressive. In the wet they are still relatively progressive but will let go when driving ham-fisted. Tyre roar on rough surfaces is par for the course when you want decent grip. Recommended for sure.
