Gripmax SuperGrip Pro Sport

Summer
Lowcost
5.2 /10 Conditionally recommended

The SuperGrip Pro Sport is Gripmax's push into the performance segment, and the test numbers are honest about where it stands. Rolling resistance is genuinely low and exterior noise is among the quietest in its class — two things that matter to everyday drivers and that budget tyres rarely get right simultaneously. Aquaplaning resistance is also respectable, giving it a solid footing on flooded surfaces. The problem is everything else wet-related. Braking distances are long, wet grip is insufficient, and the tyre shows a tendency toward oversteer that undermines confidence in dynamic situations. Directional stability is weak, which compounds the handling concerns. Finishing 28th in Autobild's 2023 summer tyre test was a hard debut. Moving to a conditional recommendation in 2025 shows some development progress, but the wet safety shortcomings haven't been resolved to a level that makes it easy to recommend for mixed-condition driving. For drivers in dry climates focused on economy, the fuel savings and low noise make it worth considering. For anyone regularly dealing with rain, the wet performance gap is too significant to overlook.

Pros & Cons

Strengths

Very good aquaplaning resistance in wet conditions, providing safety in heavy rain.

Low road noise, resulting in a quiet ride.

Low rolling resistance, which can improve fuel efficiency.

Weaknesses

Long braking distances and insufficient grip on wet roads, which may reduce safety in wet conditions despite good aquaplaning resistance.

Noticeable oversteering and poor lane stability during fast lane changes.
