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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 10 owner reviews found online.

The Mohawk M105 presents a polarizing budget-friendly option, praised for its exceptional longevity and affordable price point, yet severely criticized for critical structural failures. While some drivers report high mileage and adequate wet grip, a significant number of users experienced dangerous cracking and splitting on the inner sidewalls well before the tread was worn out.

Pros

  • Exceptionally long-lasting tread wear and high mileage potential
  • Very attractive budget-friendly price point
  • Adequate wet grip and handling for daily driving when new

Cons

  • Severe inner sidewall cracking and splitting, often leading to MOT failures or safety hazards
  • Rapid rubber compound degradation and premature aging within one to two years
  • Hard ride quality that can negatively impact vehicle comfort

Worth knowing

  • Users utilizing 225/50 R17 sizes on sedans like Volvos noted good wear rates and wet handling for the price.
  • Owners of rear-wheel-drive vehicles like BMW 325i and Mercedes C220 CDI estate experienced both extreme longevity and premature inner sidewall failures on driving axles.
