The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 has been tested by various organizations with mixed results. Overall, it is considered to be a good summer tyre with balanced performance on both wet and dry surfaces. It has been praised for its stability and safe handling, as well as its good aquaplaning capabilities. However, its traction on sand and wet surfaces is deemed to be average, and it has a slightly increased rolling resistance.

Overall, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 is a decent tyre for drivers who prioritize safety and stability over comfort and wet handling performance.
