Today, we compare two well-rated summer tyres: the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 and the Maxxis Victra Sport 5. Constructed by renowned manufacturers, Hankook and Maxxis, they exhibit unique strengths and weaknesses that influence their performance in various tests.
The Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 is a UUHP tyre from South Korea. It earned an overall rating of 82% and features as standard equipment on vehicles like Audi Q8, Porsche Cayenne, and BMW X3. On the other hand, the Chinese-made Maxxis Victra Sport 5 is a UHP tyre with an approximate rating of 74%.
In numerous road tests, the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 outperforms in wet braking and dry braking, as well as wet handling. Additionally, it displays a short dry braking distance and convincing driving performance.

Despite these shortcomings, the tyre managed to secure a top-10 position. It scored 10th place in AutoBild and 3rd position in AutoMotorSport tests out of 50 and 10 tyres respectively.
Conversely, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 exhibits excellent wet handling and wet circle cornering capabilities. It stands out for its good Aquaplaning safety reserves and balanced performance on wet and dry roads. However, it recorded average mileage and a slight delay in steering response. In tests, it scored 6th and 9th positions in ACE and AutoMotorSport tests respectively. Nevertheless, these outcomes were impressive from a total of 10 tyres. In a broader context, it fared slightly better than the Hankook tyre by placing 20th out of 50 tyres in the AutoBild test.
