The Victra Sport 5 VS5 is Maxxis's take on the SUV performance segment, and the tests are pretty consistent — it lands in the bottom half of every one of them, with satisfactory ratings being the ceiling rather than the floor. Long braking distances on both wet and dry are the main concern, and those are hard to overlook in a tyre positioned as a sport SUV option. There are some bright spots — aquaplaning behavior is decent and it handles gravel well — but that's not what buyers in this segment are shopping for. The price is low, but with safety being the weak point, it's a trade-off most drivers shouldn't have to make.
