Maxxis Victra Sport 5 Reviews - Page 2

Given 96% while driving a SEAT Leon Cupra R 225 (225/40 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
Great tires for the money. Way better than PS4 although take some scrubbing in which to me means they will be a better more grippy tire in the long run. Had PS4 previously and the sidewalls perished very quickly and were not as grippy. Converted 4 friends to these tires by taking them out in my car, with PS4 prior and now the vs5. Great tire will buy again and again

Many years ago whilst in the Isle of Man at the Manx Grande Prix (August) I spoke to a well know motorcycle racer regarding what tires he was using. "Maxxis", he said. Never heard of them! Got home and had them put onto my road bikes. Jolly good tires; good dry grip and pretty good wet grip too. Very impressed. They actually lasted well too being slightly harder compound. Getting to the point. I have just replaced the tires on my Audi A6 twin turbo; lots of power if required but on soft grippy tires that have lasted just 15000 miles. Now, tires on the big Audi are not cheap and don't last long. The Maxxis tires 'drive' well, no longer 'following' the poor road surfaces and have great adhesion in the wet as long as you don't allow the 'big second turbo' to take over. Most impressed. 8mm of tread as well, certainly as good as the Pirellis fitted as standard. Jolly good price as well compared to the over-priced popular tires. Will I use Maxxis again? Yes I will. Most impressed with them.

Regardless of price these are a great tire. Transfer excessive torque really well. Traction light is hardly on. Very impressed

Given 97% while driving a Volkswagen Golf R 270 BHP (235/35 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Huge improvement over my Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Comfort and noise is the largest improvement, but nothing has been sacrificed in terms of handling, dry, or wet grip. Very progressive at the edge of traction as well although I really have struggled to push it there with the amount of grip these have along with the 4wd on the Golf R. Can't forget to mention that it really does look great too. Hugely impressed with what Maxxis have done here.

There were fitted to the front of my juke nismo rs -no confidence in the rain -car just squirmed about like it was aquaplaning all the time. Was that impressed in the dry either!
