Here we are comparing two summer tyres, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Nokian WetProof.
Starting with Maxxis' Premitra HP5, this tyre has an overall rating of 76%. It shows strong performance against aquaplaning, dry handling, and wet circle cornering, citing these as its best features in the GTÜ test. This specific tyre held the 4th position out of 9 total tyres in the test. However, during the Autozeitung test, although it held a remarkable 5th position out of 10, it was not as superior in other criteria such as "Exterior Noise". Furthermore, in the Autobild test which comprised of 53 tyres, this tyre ranked surprisingly low at the 20th position. Lastly, in the ADAC test, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 listed "Dry driving behavior" and "Safety" as its prominent features and held the 10th position out of 15.
On the contrary, the Nokian WetProof, which is manufactured in Finland, has an impressive rating of 88%. It has quite consistently outperformed in “Wet handling" with objective measurements in the Firmenauto test, placing it at the 2nd position out of 11 tyres tested. Even in the Autozeitung test, it surpassed the Maxxis to achieve the 6th position, proving its superiority. The Nokian WetProof also showed impressive results for noise control and wet management in the Autobild test, securing the 5th position out of 53. However, it ended up at the 11th position in the ADAC test, but not without showing strong performance against noise and wet circle cornering.
Paying attention to the test positions, although the Maxxis Premitra HP5 performed admirably in some aspects, the Nokian WetProof outclasses it in overall performance across all the tests.
To sum up, The Nokian WetProof demonstrates a broad range of strengths, making a reliable choice for summer tyres offering notably good performance in wet handling and noise control. Maxxis Premitra HP5, despite its lower rating, shows commendable performance in specific areas like Aquaplaning and Wet circle cornering. However, when considering overall performance, the Nokian WetProof is the superior choice.
