Comparison: Maxxis Premitra HP5 vs. Firestone Roadhawk vs. Michelin e.Primacy vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

In the world of summer tyres, two standout choices for consumers are the Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Firestone Roadhawk. From the testing data, each tyre has its own pros and cons that vary based on driving conditions and consumer needs.


The Maxxis Premitra HP5 holds an overall rating of 78%, offering impressive performances in various tests. Its notable strengths include its aquaplaning properties - both cross and longitudinal, dry handling, and safety. The Maxxis Premitra HP5 shines particularly in ACE and Autozeitung tests, securing a first position in ACE and fourth in Autozeitung out of 20 tyres tested. In Autobild's testing however, it only achieved a ninth position out of 51. Based on test summaries, this tyre had strong kilometrage, short dry braking distances but presented a delayed steering response and moderate grip on wet and dry tracks. A key point to consider is its reduced mileage and higher rolling resistance pointed out in the 2022 Autozeitung test.


On the other side, we have the Firestone Roadhawk, with an overall rating of 72%. The Roadhawk demonstrated good dry and wet handling, wet side guide, and excelled in dry handling in Autobild's test, ranking third out of 51 tyres. However, it slipped down to the twelfth position in Autozeitung test and seventh in ACE test out of nine tyres. Test data indicated that this tyre exhibited increased noise levels and, while it had dynamic handling and short dry braking distances, it didn't perform as well in terms of rolling resistance.


Taking all these factors into account, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 may be ideal for drivers who prioritize aquaplaning safety and good dry handling capabilities while the Firestone Roadhawk could be the better option for those looking for dynamic handling and better positions in mutual tests. Remember, these are summer tyres, designed for optimal performance in warm conditions. Make sure to choose the tyre that best fits your driving needs and style.
