Tyre reviews Maxxis Victra Sport VS5 SUV 117

I understand that all negative reviews of the Maxxis VS5 are based on the fact that this tire model is positioned as a UHP-class tire and a direct competitor to Michelin Pilot Sport, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, Continental ContiPremiumContact, and others. But let's be realistic: for a price 2-4 times lower, you won't get a full-fledged analog of top tires from well-known European brands.

Yes, the Victra Sport 5 is not bad: it holds the road well, doesn't feel like it's in a rut, has no complaints when braking, and doesn't hydroplane on wet roads, but if you compare it to the Pilot Sport, it will naturally be worse. Maxxis is a bit noisy, moderately stiff (after all, it's positioned as a "sporty" tire), but for its price, it's a very decent option.

If you have a BMW M5 and you like to "have fun" in traffic, this is not your option. But if you have a car with up to 250 horsepower, these tires will be enough for public roads with moderate driving loads. In this price segment, this is one of the best offers, so I give it a rating of 5 out of 5, considering its price.

The tires are quite good. I used to drive on Michelin and Continental. Quieter than Continental Sport 5. They perform well in the rain. When cornering, I can "dive" into turns controllably on them. Not as good as the Germans mentioned above, but there's no significant lag that would make me go "Ah!". In the end, there's no loss of traction. It's satisfying to accelerate. They're durable! But there's one thing - the brakes... the braking distance on a dry road is longer than on Conti and Michelin - that's a fact. I think it's at least 10% longer. I drive taking this minus into account. But the price, of course, "compensates" for this minus. I'm already driving on my second set.

By the way, wear - many people write about increased wear - I'll say exactly - not increased. They wear out just like my former German tires. Car: Porsche Macan GTS.

Good tires. I don't drive excessively fast, didn't test them in puddles specifically or under extreme conditions. Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050+ are of course better but not by much, and the difference is 5 rubles with a discount. Overall, I'm satisfied, they have rim protection, a bit noisy though. I like them, if you're not an extreme driver, they'll suit you.

Everything is alright. I'm fully satisfied with the purchase and the store.

I've driven on these tires for 10,000 km, with two trips to the south, and have formed some impressions. I'll be comparing them to my own feelings and to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires that were on the same vehicle before.

So, here's my assessment: in terms of appearance, I'd say it's a matter of personal taste, the tires are a bit rounded, the PS4 looks more pleasant. Wear - Maxxis is the clear winner, with less than 1 mm of wear after 10,000 km, while the PS4 had twice as much wear. Aquaplaning - I'd rate them roughly the same. In terms of ride softness, the PS4 is clearly softer, while the Maxxis is moderately stiff, I'd have preferred it to be softer. Tracking - Maxxis is clearly better, the PS4, especially after 50% wear, starts to wander and jump out of the track, pulling the steering wheel. Noise - Maxxis tires are not quiet, the noise level is borderline, the PS4 is much quieter, but the Maxxis is much quieter than, for example, Yokohama tires (I don't remember the model). The sharpness of the steering and the clarity of control remain with the PS4, but I liked the handling of the Maxxis more, it's calm and comfortable, without jerking on the road, on the highway you can relax and hold the steering wheel with two fingers. In general, summarizing: the tire is hard like a sports tire, but the sports handling is not felt, just a comfortable ride at all speeds up to 180, after that it starts to float, it's not quiet, the noise is moderate, tracking and puddles are very well handled. The cost for a set was 68, which is two times cheaper than top brands, for this price it's a very good option, you can safely consider it.

Excellent tires for the price. They handle well on wet roads, are quiet, and have a sturdy sidewall.

Installed on BMW X6 F16 313 hp, flight is normal. Behaves similarly to the European one.

Holds the road and turns perfectly! At high speeds, it very confidently holds the road. Very comfortably swallows all the bumps. Of the minuses: wears out quickly, very strongly transmits noise from large rubble in the asphalt to the body.

Fit

Option - price/quality.
The main plus is that they handle wet roads well
The main minus is noise and hum from resonance.
