Let's dive into the comparison between the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and the Maxxis Victra Sport 5, two prominent summer tyres brought forth by leading companies Bridgestone and Maxxis, respectively.
Starting with the Bridgestone Turanza 6, this tyre doesn't replace any previous model. In our evaluations, it received an impressive 83% rating. From various test results, it emerged in the 6th position in the ACE test out of 10 total tyres and managed to come 16th out of 50 tyres in the Autobild test. Its standout features include superior dry handling and low rolling resistance. The Turanza 6 touts exceptional dry handling- both objective and subjective, demonstrating its high-performance caliber. Autobild also emphasizes its comfortable feel and efficient rolling resistance. On the downside, it has an average performance in terms of cost-effectiveness.
The Maxxis Victra Sport 5, on the other hand, did not replace any of its preceding models either. The tyre produced an acceptable score of 69% in our evaluations. Ranking 7th in the ACE test and 9th in the Autobild test out of 10 and 50 tyres respectively, the Sport 5 displayed solid performance in dry handling methods. In the Autobild 2023 test, the tyre showed good safety reserves during aquaplaning, accompanied by sure and dynamic wet handling. However, it falls short when it comes to lifespan and delayed steering behavior.
In conclusion, the Bridgestone Turanza 6's strengths lie in its remarkable dry handling and comfort, while its average economic efficiency could be its weakness. Maxxis Victra Sport 5 performs impressively during aquaplaning and has competent wet handling but might lose a few points due to its average lifespan and slow steering response. Picking the right one ultimately depends on individual preference and the specific requirements of the car and driver.
In terms of overall test performance, both tyres have put forth pretty solid performances, but it seems that the Bridgestone Turanza 6 slightly edges out the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 by a thin margin. However, remember it's crucial to consider both your personal preferences and technical requirements before settling on a tyre.
