Specifications
MAXXIS MECOTRA 3 ME3
The Maxxis Mecotra ME3 is a summer tyre for passenger cars, with a focus on fuel saving. It is built to lower rolling resistance, which means your engine needs less energy to keep the car moving, so you can get more kilometres from every tank. This makes it a sensible choice for everyday driving, commuting and town use. Its strength as an economy tyre is well documented. In the ADAC Summer Tyre Test of 2019, which compared 16 tyres in size 185/65 R15, the Mecotra ME3 was the top performer for low fuel consumption. It comes in a wide range of sizes, from small 13-inch fits up to 20-inch, so it suits many small and compact cars. If you want a summer tyre that helps keep running costs down on daily journeys, the Mecotra ME3 is worth a look. As a summer tyre, it is made for use in warmer conditions and is not intended for winter ice or deep snow.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Efficient, just shy of the top. The MAXXIS MECOTRA 3 ME3 carries a B rating, the second band on the EU scale. Rolling resistance is still low, and in normal driving the gap from a class A tyre is small enough that you'd barely notice it at the pump.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Strong. The MAXXIS MECOTRA 3 ME3 carries a B rating, one step below the top. Wet braking is still short and dependable — the difference from a class A tyre is small and only really shows up in hard braking on soaked roads. For everyday driving in mixed weather it's plenty.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
Fairly quiet. The MAXXIS MECOTRA 3 ME3 comes in at 69 dB, just under the average for this kind of tyre. Day to day it stays unobtrusive; only rough tarmac brings the noise forward.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The MAXXIS MECOTRA 3 ME3 carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
MAXXIS is a mid-range class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
