History

Firemax was founded in 2015, using modern technology to forge and advance tyre design and production methods. Superior testing ensures that every individual model meets the standards of the brand – and while Firemax doesn’t fall at the upper end of the premium tyre market, its innovation and use of modern tyre technology is comparable to that of brands like Michelin and Goodyear.

Because Firemax tyres are produced by Shandong Haohua, which is one of China’s most prolific tyre manufacturers, they benefit from exposure to leading development and testing facilities – as evidenced in the high-quality grip and traction of high-performance and everyday tyres.

Just some of the accolades that elevate Firemax’s brand reputation include pioneering manufacturing methods that ensure the quality of tyres are balanced with sustainability and affordability for drivers.

Firemax’s Position on the Tyre Market

Firemax is a brand that sits between budget tyre and mid-range tyres. Known for innovative design and production methods, these tyres are favoured by drivers for their cost, their handling control and stability, and the safety of Firemax tyres. While not a premium brand like Pirelli or Bridgestone, Firemax is still recognised as a reputable option for drivers.

The collection includes quality tyres for passenger cars and other vehicles, including off-road vehicles and hybrid SUVs. It also includes seasonal tyres as well as the versatile all-season tyres that drivers in the UK often choose, benefitting from the year-round suitability of all-season tyres in the temperate UK climate.

Popular Models and Collections

Firemax boasts a diverse range of tyres, from the off-road Firemax FM523 tyres for rough terrain and challenging surfaces, to the urban-matched FM601 summer tyres. Other top rated models include the Firemax FM601-4 Grooves tyres, the FM518 tyres, and the broad FM316 tyres.

From these, the FM601 is the tyre that is most often selected by UK drivers, owing to its balance of wet grip, stable handling, and low road noise as well as durability. This features are particularly prominent in the UK where the lack of extreme weather conditions means drivers are most often faced with wet roads and changing terrains.

Browsing the Firemax Catalogue by Season
Summer tyres represent the largest selection of Firemax tyres, with some boasting all-season features that render them suitable for year-round use in the UK, while the brand also has a selection of winter tyres that optimise traction in colder climates.

All-season tyres are the most popular with UK drivers for their flexibility. Browse premium all-season tyres from premium brands right down to budget brands, if you want a year-round solution – or explore the summer tyres available from Firemax below.

A large percentage of the Firemax tyre range is made up of summer tyres, bridging wet grip with dry performance, dispelling surface water, and holding the tyres’ shape even under the pressure of high temperatures. Some of the most popular summer tyres from Firemax include the classic FM601 tyres, the FM916 tyres, the FM913 tyres, and the FM518 tyres. All of these have different tread patterns, some with chunky tread blocks for rough terrain while others have added sipes cut into the tread surface to help dispel water and reduce the risk of aquaplaning.

Winter tyres need to be able to retain their pliability in cold temperatures, while ensuring safe traction and good grip on icy road surfaces. Within the Firemax car tyre range, tyres like the FM805 and the FM805+ tyres are among the best winter tyres, with asymmetrical tread patterns that are suitable for handling ice and snow as well as rough terrain.

Choosing the Best Car Tyres for Your Vehicle

Firemax is a brand that sits at the affordable end of the tyre market, balancing modern tyre technology and innovation with affordable tyre designs that are favoured for their handling, reliability, and endurance on the roads.

5/5

Firemax FM601

Booked in to have my tyre replaced. The staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable. I had my near side tyre replaced with a pointS, which is made by continental but without the extra cost. All my tyres now are pointS which I can highly recommend. I also had my tyres tracked and I’m so pleased I did as my vehicle drives like new.

5/5

Firemax FM601

Putting on Firemax FM601 tyres has really improved the performance. In particular, they give much better grip in wet conditions. I'm very happy with them as the car handles much better. I think for what they offer the value is really great.

5/5

Firemax FM601

For the past few months, I've been driving with the Firemax FM601 tyres and I consider myself fortunate for making this choice. I was unsure at first, because I was accustomed to premium quality brands, thinking they were the only ones that offered good quality. However, I decided to give it a shot after seeing positive reviews. The fitting process was easy, and the garage staff was amazing, guiding me in selecting the correct size and load rating. Since then, I've driven approximately 1,500 miles of urban driving and long distance motorway journeys. The grip is outstanding in both dry and wet road conditions. I've done some very spirited driving and they really did corner better than I expected. They feel solid and confident in the corner and I even drove through a very heavy downpour and did not notice any skidding or slipping which is a huge plus! The road noise is also lower than expected stopping the family from ranting on long drives about the noise. The tread is holding up really well and it looks like the mileage is going to be good. Overall these tyres seem to be the best value for money and I am rAPT with the difference in performance on the vehicle. The handling is good, even under lots of pressure and feels reliable which is exactly what I wanted. For the price you really can't get a better tyre than this. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their driving experience for an affordable price.
