Performance Analysis

Maxxis Victra Sport 5 delivers mid-pack to upper-mid performance with standout value and occasional podiums. Across 19 summer tests it averages 8.5th, with multiple top-5 overall finishes (Auto Express 2022: 3/7; ADAC 2020: tied 3/16; AutoBild 19'' 2022: 5/10; ACE/Gute Fahrt 2023: 4/7) but also some lower results in tougher UHP fields (Auto Bild Sports Car 2023: 10/13; Auto Bild 2020: 18/20; Die Reifentester 2025: 7/8). Dry braking is consistently good, wet grip is generally decent with some variability, and aquaplaning resistance is often above average. Comfort/noise frequently test well, and pricing/value are recurring advantages. Main weaknesses are rolling resistance and occasional poor wet braking in heavier sizes, plus some dry handling pace deficits.

Winner: Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72

Maxxis impressed again with good dry handling and braking. On wet roads it achieved only satisfactory results, and its high rolling resistance suggests the tread compound isn’t fully developed. I...
