The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 found itself positioned 9th among its 10 competitors, achieving a final rating of 'Satisfactory' due to a mixed bag of performances in various testing criteria. Despite its weaknesses in dry handling precision and pronounced deficiencies in wet braking and aquaplaning resistance—factors that also contributed to a lack of comfort and poor damping—the tire showcased surprising strengths. Notably, it delivered impressively good grip and dynamic steering response on wet corners, standing out in disciplines of wet handling and wet lateral guidance. This dichotomy of performance underlines a strong dry performance paired with an unbalanced behavior in wet conditions, painting a complex picture of its capabilities.
