In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Finland (Nokian) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Taiwan (Maxxis). Generally, Maxxis summer tyres are slightly better rated (67%) than Nokian (66%). The first tyre test of Nokian Powerproof 1 was done in 2025, compared to 2020 when was the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the Autobild 2025 225/40 R18 test, where both the Powerproof 1 and the Victra Sport 5 were tested. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the Powerproof 1 is made in Finland and Victra Sport 5 is made in China.
