Our comparison between the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 VS5 SUV and the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV provides an informative look at the strengths and weaknesses of these two summer tyres.
The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 VS5 SUV, manufactured in China, shines in gravel and sand traction, garnering a rating of 64% from our team. However, it doesn't come without its weaknesses. According to Autobild 2024, the tyre suffers from longer braking distances on both wet and dry asphalt and slightly increased rolling resistance. Its handling on wet surfaces is acceptable, but it falls short in wet braking and dry handling when compared to the Michelin tyre.
The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV, on the other hand, is a top performer having been made in Poland and Spain. Scoring a 96% rating from our tests, this tyre outperforms the Maxxis in many categories. It boasts excellent aquaplaning protection, wet braking, dry braking, dry handling, and handling on gravel. Additional features like its exceptional comfort and dry lane changing capabilities makes it a top-notch option. Its weaknesses, as pointed out by Automotorsport 2023, include slightly longer dry braking distances, marginal weaknesses in wet handling, and slightly increased rolling resistance.
In the Autobild tests, the Michelin tyre clinched the first place, offering high performance in many areas, particularly in wet and dry conditions. The Maxxis tyre, while decent, only managed to secure the 7th place. In Automotorsport tests too, Michelin outperformed Maxxis by securing the 6th position against the 8th spot taken by Maxxis.
Overall, while the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 VS5 SUV is a good tyre with satisfactory performance in certain areas like gravel and sand traction, it's Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV that steals the show with its all-round superior performance, earning it the top spot in most tests. However, it's important to note that the right choice of tyre also depends on one's specific needs, preferences, and driving conditions.
