Cosmo MuchoMacho Reviews

This tire rocks. It's dirt cheap and sticks to the pavement like hell. I don't have a high-horsepower car, but I corner very aggressively, and it's hard to make the MuchoMachos chirp. They don't have a ton of noise and do decently in the rain. Not great in the snow though, so I run them as three-season tires. For the price, however, you can't have it all. These aren't on the level of Pilot Sports, but they are 80%-90% as good for 30%ish of the price. I've run these tires lots over the years and you can't beat 'em!

i use these budget 300tw as my 'rain' tires on track for track days. no reason to waste the stickies when conditions arent ideal for them. mild mannered enough on the streets but wear faster than I expected when ran hard in the dry. I have and wouldn't hesitate to buy again at this price.

They were great under the weather dipped below 40 degrees fahrenheit and got wet. Then these got real scary, real fast. I've never seen tires get this bad when cold and wet. Granted, I only have a bit over 100 miles on them, but the last 40 miles were in the sub 40 degrees and wet. I almost wrecked my car several times, even while staying at the speed limit. Any semi-sharp turns, they start to slide. I sure hope that get better, otherwise, I'll have to buy another set of tires to make it through the winter as they are completely unsafe right now. Again, they were fine when dry and above 45 degrees F. :(

I purchased these tire for street use on my 2003 Subaru WRX. This car doubles as an autocross car on most weekends. If you know anything about autox...you will spend a good amount of money on competitive tires, so having a set of street tires to save travel mile wear is a must. We made an 800 mile round trip the same week they were installed and they were awesome! Low road noise and handled the highway, country roads and backs roads nicely. Now the big surprise came on an event weekend! That Saturday we corded our RE71-RS race tires (well past any tread, you could nearly see the air inside them) So Sunday the Cosmos were put back on the car. We all had a pretty decent laugh about them...but... Once I got the tire pressures dialed in, everyone understood where the Mucho Macho name came from. They put up a fight to say the least. They were predictable and handled the technical demands an awd car running an autox asks. They are not a true replacement for the competition tires that cost about 4 times as much, but I still managed to stay in the top 20% of the fastest cars that day and worked great in a pinch. I will definitely continue buying these for streets in the future!

Done over 15k miles on the tire. Tail of the Dragon for fun, many miles of touge in different conditions, cross country road trips and it's held up quite well. Still good tread life left, over half and they perform better than expected in the wet. Tested them in colder rain environments too and they've held up. Would recommend if your short on cash but biggest con is they are so so loud. My RE71RS, ECF, ECS02 are all quieter than the muchomachos - that's kinda crazy...

I was skeptical at first to try these new tires, however they have been great. I saved considerably over getting another set of Yoko's. Very good grip and decent steering wheel feed back. I am just commuting with my vehicle nothing serious, but these tire were a delightful purchase and would recommend them for summertime daily driving.

No issues in the dry or wet. I don't drive fast in the wet so I can't give big impressions on that. But dry weather driving is great, lose road noise.

i put these on my 2017 hyundai tucson, 245 45 19. awd. these tires were pretty good in the summer but in the winter they were the worst tires i have ever had. i have an awd tucson and was sliding all over the place, i could barely make it up slight hills. i was also in an accident because it wouldn't stop going down a slight hill. no other cars were having problems, just me. i have never had this problem with any other tire. if your going to drive in snow forget about these tires, not worth it.

Driving great in all kinds of weather. Quiet ride.
