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.
