A relatively new player on the North American scene, Marangoni is a product of fine, high quality Italian craftsmanship. Much like other Italian brands, Marangoni prides itself on admirable attention detail, and it shows. Like every Italian product you can tell it doesn鈥檛 have the mass-produced feel you might find with mainstream brands. Even without a proper scale on hand, we noted the high quality built Mythos was just slightly above the average tire weight in our OEM sized lineup being evaluated. Don鈥檛 let its increased weight fool you, as it shouldn鈥檛 alarm buyers since the Marangoni Mythos is superbly stiff in the corners and offers highly stable performance, which is only accomplished with more premium quality belting. The Marangoni Mythos offers quiet road manners and provides sure foot grip performance on the dry track. Around town it doesn鈥檛 transmit much of the road imperfections into the cabin and deals with potholes quite admirable in our experience. Although we were unfamiliar with the Marangoni brand, all of our staff were pleasantly surprised with the overall solid performance, value and class quality of the Marangoni Mythos. Overall, the Marangoni Mythos is a highly suggested, quality-made UHP tire option well worth a closer look, plus it鈥檚 available in a range of most popular OEM sizes.
