2025 Autobild Crossover SUV All Season Test P8 of 10

The Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3 SUV positions itself as a rain king, boasting large aquaplaning reserves that inspire confidence in heavy downpours. Unfortunately, this tire is overall weaker on snow and records the highest rolling resistance among all candidates, which diminishes its fuel-saving potential. The elevated rolling resistance represents a hidden ongoing cost that offsets some of the initial purchase price savings.
