Securing the 10th position out of 15 competitors, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 demonstrated noteworthy qualities and some areas for improvement. It stood out for its excellent aquaplaning resistance and affordability. However, it faced challenges such as delayed steering response and understeering behavior in all weather conditions, alongside limited mileage and cost-effectiveness. Notably, it excelled in wet circle cornering, showing its strength in specific testing disciplines. Despite the mixed feedback, the tyre offers a balanced combination of safety and value, making it a contender worth considering.

Testers were particularly impressed with its good winter qualities, stable handling on dry surfaces, and significant safety margins against aquaplaning, all offered at an affordable price.

Despite these areas for improvement, the tire managed to deliver a balanced performance across various conditions.

The Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 secured the 13th position out of 14 in a highly competitive lineup. Despite ranking low overall, the tyre did exhibit some positive attributes such as good aquaplaning safety margins, dynamic handling, and short braking distances on dry surfaces. However, its performance was offset by several drawbacks including moderate durability, understeering behavior, and extended braking distances on wet roads, which ultimately impacted its standing. Notably, it excelled in the exterior noise discipline, showcasing its ability to operate quietly, a feature that often enhances the driving experience. Nevertheless, these strengths were not enough to significantly elevate its rank in the evaluation.
