So am I gonna be the test monkey for MuchoMachos or what?

I hear a lotta talk but no reviews. Must I be the one to answer the question "How bad could they possibly be?"

LOL, wasn't even sure what these were, apparently I live under a rock.  So apparently  they are tires, not a male enhancement product.  Reddit had a few threads mentioning them with reviews.  https://www.reddit.com/r/FocusRS/comments/10ybi8c/anyone_used_this_tire_brand_before/

In reply to 84FSP :

Yeah, but Reddit Shmeddit, I want hive-mind opinions. I feel like Ohtsu owes me for all the tires I sold for them and now they're all fancy & cost THREE_FIGURES. WTF!? 

If you run them, get a paint pen and make raised lettering announcing the awesomeness you are about to behold . I like yellow, but white is also acceptable.

There's at least one lemons team running them on a pair of audi tt's

Never heard of them.  100% buying them because of the name once I figure out what size tires I'm gonna run with the rebuild. 

Somebody needs to send Andy a set so we can see how they compare to the PS4S and ECS 02s!

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS KWEEEEEEEEN

I can buy a set for twenty dollars more than one DWS06

I had to look them up,too, but SimpleTire has even cheaper tires in the size my MINI takes. The Accelera goes for $68 ( vs $73) and has a 30,000 mile warranty. Challenge spec tire sub-class anyone?

Only have one question.......I got tired of buying tires for my MINI cause no matter what brand or what the expected mileage (50K Michelins was one set) they only seem to last 20K. So this last time I bought cheap tires - they now have 25K on them and don't look like they've worn one bit!

BUT!

They are so noisy that I can hardly stand to drive them - went to the PRI show in Indy and before I got home to KC my ears were bleeding!

So, are the MuchoMachos quiet or screamers?

I remember seeing them on several entries at the 2019 $2000 challenge.  I did not hear any comments on them either way.

Please no.  At least not until there is at least some buzz around it out in the real world.

After the Valino experience...and another one we did recently at The FIRM.  I'm kinda done with sloooooow tires.  I mean, sure...you want something that will last forever...I get that.  But I'd prefer a modicum of performance along with it.

Doing another one of these this week.  But...it's new...so who knows?  Maybe it will actually be fast?  Could it be another Vitour P1?  You never know...stay tuned.

You never know, MuchoMacho might step up with some big time advertising funds and GRM will be forced to kick Nankang to the curb and all of a sudden these will be the best tires out there as your "test" will show and the whole fleet of test cars will proudly display giant MuchoMacho stickers on their sides. 

None of the above statement is serious or based on any reality lol.

I've ran them on the rear for a drift event, fairly low grip doesn't make a ton of smoke. I use them for storing the car in the winter now, they do a good job holding air. I did take the car out on them once in the rain and almost died 3 times in a span of a 1/4 mile.

The name has me laughing so that's a good thing :)

Similarly entertainingly named are the Ironman tires. Got those on a free set of Miata wheels. Fun for some skid pad, car control work. 

Classic funny tire name thread:

None of them could've seen the Cosmo Sexy Beast coming though.

In reply to Appleseed :

RIGHT!? So I'm on the fence now. Best I can find with shipping is $85 ea. Tirerack has General Gmax on sale for $130 and a discontinued Conti for $160. Both are 500+ treadware which is really what I need considering how many miles I drive.

I would honestly spend twice the money for the Continentals. They're worth every damn penny. And that is coming from a guy that doesn't spend an extra Penny without crying about it.

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :

Yeah, I am a dyed-in-the-wool DWS fanboi (they're what's on the car now.) These are the ones on closeout at about $70 less per tire than the DWS. 2020 production but man it hurts paying 4 figured for street tires.
