Maxxis Victra Sport 5

Summer
Lowcost
8.1 /10 Recommended

A budget tyre with real wet grip — that's rare. The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 handles wet roads confidently, brakes well, and stays quiet. The delayed steering response takes getting used to, but at this price point, the overall safety package is hard to argue with.

Competitive pricing, offering good value for performance.

Weaknesses

Longer braking distances and reduced grip in wet conditions compared to the best-in-class, leading to some safety concerns.
