The article presents a detailed comparison between two prominent summer tyre models: the Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Cooper Zeon CS8.
The Maxxis Premitra HP5 achieves an impressive rating of 78% in our evaluations. Some of the most crucial attributes of this tyre are its stellar aquaplaning performance across various categories and excellent safety reserves recognized in the Autobild test where this tyre secured 18th place out of 52 tyres. It was praised for its good mileage and short dry braking distances. According to ADAC, the tyre was found to exhibit slightly delayed steering response alongside mediocre grip levels on both wet and dry tracks. One of the downsides highlighted in Autobild 2022 is its understeering dry handling and slightly reduced lifetime.
On the other hand, the British-made Cooper Zeon CS8, highlights its position in the Autobild test, securing the 19th position out of 52 tyres, trailing just one position behind the Maxxis Premitra HP5. Unfortunately, our rating for the Cooper Zeon CS8 stands at a rather slightly disappointing 56%.
Direct comparison from Gute-Fahrt test reveals the Maxxis Premitra HP5 occupying the better 7th position, compared to the 9th position secured by the Cooper Zeon CS8 out of a total of 10 tyres tested.
In summary, both Maxxis and Cooper tyres have demonstrated robust performance in various tests. However, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 presents an undeniable edge over the Cooper Zeon CS8. Specifically, the Maxxis Premitra HP5's incredible aquaplaning skills, and relatively good dry braking distance distinguish it from the Cooper Zeon CS8. While both tyres have areas to improve such as better handling and grip, Maxxis Premitra HP5 consistently outperforms its counterpart in most categories, reflecting its superior overall quality and performance.
