Ranked #10 of 10
10 out of 10 competitors — final rating: -. The Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 offered decent snow grip and even produced the best snow results among the budget group, but suffered from nervous load-change reactions and performed poorly on wet and dry surfaces: it had the longest wet braking distance, the second-longest dry braking distance, traction problems and limited durability, making it hard to recommend for mixed winter conditions. There were no disciplines where it was recorded as absolutely best, and no specific properties listed as last overall.

Finishing 11th out of 12 competitors, the Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 received a final rating of 'Satisfactory.' The tire excelled in aquaplaning resistance, both crosswise and longitudinal, showing impressive safety reserves. Testers noted its good traction and short braking distances on snowy surfaces, along with low driving noise. However, the tire showed significantly delayed steering response, limited lateral guidance, and extended braking distances in wet conditions.

Ranked #15 of 19
The Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 secured the 11th position out of 19 competitors, indicating a respectable performance in a competitive lineup. This tire was praised for its balanced winter properties, secure aquaplaning behavior, and affordable price point, highlighting its value proposition. However, it was not without its drawbacks. Critics pointed towards its slightly extended wet and dry braking distances, lower mileage, and high rolling resistance as areas of concern. Despite these mixed results, the tire did not receive a final rating, underscoring the nuanced nature of its performance across various disciplines. Notably, there were no specific categories in which this tire was ranked as the absolute best or worst, which suggests a consistent but not outstanding performance across the board.
