Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Firemax FM601 XL belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

Ford Focus mk2 · 205/55 R16 · 1 609 km
★★★☆☆

Simple budget tyres that do the job. Totally adequate proposal. I chose these ones because of a mix between low price and lower noise! This last one is a very important detail. These tyres are rated at 69 dB. I should have gone for even quieter tyres, but the price would go up substantially!
Would I buy it again? Probably not, mostly because of low (shallow) tread and noise level (69dB). I would prefer to settle with 67dB tyres. The regular >70dB make my old car sound like a tractor...
The tyres come with the proper red and yellow dot markings for assembly reference. I assemble my own tyres, so it's worth mention. They are rather easy on you, assembly wise.
On the road: Now start the mix feelings. Under dry conditions, it's an absolutely decent set of tyres. With some (normal) initial oversteering effect. That usually will soon turn more neutral with the increased km's. This should not be any different. On dry environment quite positive outcome, The road feedback is quite good and so on.
Now the real issue, wet conditions. It's worth notice that when I say wet, it was in fact pouring! With considerable puddles of water, not just wet spots.
Any tyre would struggle under such conditions! These tyres have really shallow treads! While they don't catch many stones between the treads. On "real" water puddles I felt more than once aquaplaning! Nothing terribly negative, but surely a good tell tale that their limits were showing!
Budget wise, it is a honest and rather decent choice! Recommended with the mentioned compromises.

★★☆☆☆

Tyres worn to legal minimum limit in less than 10 000 km.
I'v been using Chinese tyres before. For example Triangle ones (drove 3 seasons, then sold the car and probably new owners is still using those).
But Firemax - never again.

Not durable. Worn close to legal limit after 20000 miles (10000 miles on front axle and 10000 miles on rear axle) of day-to-day driving within 2 years. Better stick with mid range tyres.
