The Maxxis Premitra HP5 is an economical choice that delivers good performance, especially in dry handling, closely approaching the leaders in this category. It also stands out for its effective resistance to straight hydrolaning, offering reliability in wet conditions. However, the tire's higher noise levels and rolling resistance suggest that it may not be the most silent or fuel-efficient option in its class.

The Maxxis Premitra HP5, ranked 19th in the Autobild Tire Test, offers commendable dry braking distances and respectable mileage. However, its performance indicates a delayed steering response and only moderate grip levels on both wet and dry roads. While the tire is positioned well in terms of wear and value, its wet handling and circle performance, along with high rolling resistance, suggest significant room for improvement to enhance driving safety and efficiency in varied conditions.

No issues found capable of critically compromising the safety level. Somewhat delayed steering response. Increased noise. Increased rolling resistance. Conditionally recommended.

Very high aquaplaning resistance. Short braking distance on wet pavement. Low price. Prone to understeer on dry pavement. Tangibly reduced tread life. Increased rolling resistance. Satisfactory.

Very good grip on wet pavement. Very good price/quality ratio. High rolling resistance. Highly recommended.

Good results in the key safety disciplines. Delayed steering response. A less-than-perfect result in an elk test. Increased noise. Increased rolling resistance. Conditionally recommended.
