Comparison: Maxxis Premitra HP5 vs. Petlas Imperium PT515 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Firestone Roadhawk 2 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

Here we present a thorough comparison of two summer tyres: the Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Petlas Imperium PT515. Both are respected models in their category, but there are key differences worth noting.


Firstly focusing on the Maxxis Premitra HP5, it received a rating of 56% on our site, with its highest performance in tests being the 9th position in Autobild's comparative evaluation out of 53 tires. Its best features were highlighted as being its excellent performance in aquaplaning - cross. The leading German automobile club, ADAC 2022 noticed its superb dry driving behavior and safety measures, as well as its response to Aquaplaning - cross and the Wet circle cornering. However, drawbacks were identified as a somewhat delayed steering response and a middling grip level on both wet and dry tracks. This equated to an overall 10th position out of 15 tyres tested.


On the other hand, the Petlas Imperium PT515, made in Turkey, received a lower rating of 42% on our platform. The tyre did not perform as well in the Autobild test, with a position of 35 out of 53. Sadly, its stand-out features and performance parameters were not specified. In the ADAC tests, it too did not shine, as it was placed 14th out of the 15 tyres evaluated.


In summary, Maxxis Premitra HP5 outperforms the Petlas Imperium PT515 in test performances. While Premitra HP5 showcases better safety measures, excellent dry driving behavior, and resistance to aquaplaning, the Imperium PT515 leads a lot to be desired with its lackluster performance in tests. Neither of the tyres is identified to have a newer model that replaced them.


In conclusion, for optimal performance, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 emerges as the better choice between the two tyres. However, individual preferences, driving conditions, and cost considerations could yield different conclusions for different drivers.
