The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 found itself positioned 9th among its 10 competitors, achieving a final rating of 'Satisfactory' due to a mixed bag of performances in various testing criteria. Despite its weaknesses in dry handling precision and pronounced deficiencies in wet braking and aquaplaning resistance—factors that also contributed to a lack of comfort and poor damping—the tire showcased surprising strengths.

This dichotomy of performance underlines a strong dry performance paired with an unbalanced behavior in wet conditions, painting a complex picture of its capabilities.
