Head-to-head test results
In a large AutoBild comparison of 50 tyres, the Kleber finished 13th while the Maxxis placed 20th. The test praised the Kleber’s exterior noise comfort, pointing to a quiet rolling character. However, across multiple seasons of testing notes, the Maxxis consistently earned positives for wet safety – namely good aquaplaning reserves and safe, dynamic wet handling – while the Kleber drew criticism for wet grip and aquaplaning reserves.

• Maxxis Victra Sport 5 – strengths: very solid aquaplaning resistance and secure wet handling.


• Maxxis Victra Sport 5 – weaknesses: average mileage and a noticeably delayed steering response for a UHP tyre.


• Kleber Dynaxer UHP – strengths: good mileage, low exterior noise, and low rolling resistance for efficiency.


• Kleber Dynaxer UHP – weaknesses: moderate wet grip, limited lateral guidance on wet, and lower aquaplaning reserves.

How to read the mixed signals
- If you look only at the mutual AutoBild ranking, Kleber ranks higher (13/50 vs. 20/50) and stands out for comfort and efficiency. For drivers who value quietness and low fuel consumption, this is a meaningful advantage.
- If you weigh our aggregated assessment of performance characteristics over time, the Maxxis comes out ahead overall (74% vs. 43%), chiefly thanks to its wet-road safety margin and aquaplaning resistance—areas where the Kleber’s weaknesses are repeatedly noted.

Verdict
- Choose the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 if your priority is wet safety and confidence at speed. Accept that the steering may feel a bit slower for a UHP tyre and that wear is only average.
- Choose the Kleber Dynaxer UHP if you want quiet, economical motoring with good mileage, and you rarely face heavy rain or deep standing water.
