In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Taiwan (
Maxxis) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho). Generally,
Kumho summer tyres are slightly better rated (59%) than
Maxxis (58%). In this particular case, the Kumho Ecsta Sport (PS72) has a better rating of 87% compared to 75% of the Maxxis Victra Sport 5. The first tyre test of Maxxis Victra Sport 5 was done in 2020, compared to 2025 when was the Kumho Ecsta Sport (PS72) first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Die Reifentester 2025 225/40 R18 test, where both the
Victra Sport 5 and the
Ecsta Sport (PS72) were tested. We also know where
