Ranked #8 of 10
Securing the 8th position in a competitive lineup, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 tire was noted for its satisfactory overall performance. 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. However, it was not without its drawbacks, as the tire exhibited a tendency for understeer, longer braking distances on wet roads, and increased rolling resistance. Despite these areas for improvement, the tire managed to deliver a balanced performance across various conditions.
