What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Marangoni Mythos is a highly polarizing tire that divides users between those who value its exceptional value and longevity and those who find its wet-weather performance and structural reliability unacceptable. While some drivers report impressive mileage and dry-road confidence, a significant portion of the user base warns of dangerous handling characteristics in damp conditions and premature casing failures.

Pros

Excellent value for money compared to premium brands
High tread longevity and mileage potential
Strong dry-road grip and handling
Low road noise on motorway surfaces

Cons

Poor and unpredictable wet-weather traction
Reports of structural issues including sidewall bulges and casing blowouts
Increased noise and tram-lining as the tread wears down
Inconsistent quality control

Worth knowing

High-performance and high-torque vehicles reported significant traction loss in the wet, with some users noting that the tire struggles to put power down effectively.
Users running larger, low-profile sizes (e.g., 19-inch) reported a higher frequency of sidewall failures and structural blowouts compared to those on smaller wheel setups.
