The Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6, with a rating of 3.4 and ranked eleventh, delivers solid traction and short braking distances on snowy roads. It also boasts low noise levels and strong safety reserves in hydroplaning conditions. However, its steering response is noticeably delayed, with limited lateral grip and extended braking distances in wet conditions, which may affect overall control.

The Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 struggled to perform on dry roads, showing limited precision and requiring frequent steering corrections during cornering. This resulted in a lower overall safety rating. Its wet performance was similarly average, with extended braking distances and subpar handling. The tire’s response during sudden maneuvers was unsteady, leading to a lack of confidence at the limits. On snow and ice, the Premitra Snow WP6 offered adequate braking but lacked strong traction and precise handling, resulting in only satisfactory ratings. The environmental assessment was better, thanks to its low fuel consumption and minimal tread wear, but its heavier weight and manufacturing residues detracted from its sustainability profile.

This inexpensive Maxxis tire has a short snow braking distance and has a strong hydroplaning resistance. At the same time, there were some complaints about its handling response on snow and dry braking, as well as about its braking performance on tarmac. In addition, this Maxxis tire is characterized by increased rolling resistance.

Balanced winter properties, safe hydroplaning behavior, low price. Slightly longer wet and dry braking distances, low mileage, high rolling resistance.

Good hydroplaning resistance. Short braking distance on dry pavement. Low noise emission. Good riding comfort. Poor lateral grip, long braking distance, and less-than-perfect handling performance on wet pavement. High rolling resistance. Good.

Particularly good on dry roads (top mark). Good in the wet. Weaknesses on snow and ice. High fuel consumption and wear.

A podium spot for straight-line aquaplaning contrasted with a lowly seventh on the curved test.

Good results on dry and damp surfaces. Poor performance on ice and snow.

Very good performance on ice, dry and wet surfaces. Low fuel consumption. Relatively weak snow performance and increased wear.

The tire’s good performance proves successful development of this Asian tire maker. The quietest tire on test. Overpriced.

No obvious flaws.

Positive: best aquaplaning properties , short snow braking distances , stable dry handling , low price.
Negative: slightly longer braking distances on wet slopes, delayed steering response, increased rolling resistance.

Positive: good winter properties , high aquaplaning safety, good price-performance ratio.
Negative: limited lateral guidance and longer braking distances on wet slopes.

A balanced tire with somewhat limited reserves, but without serious defects.

Positive: best aquaplaning properties , short snow braking distances , stable dry handling , low price.
Negative: slightly longer braking distances on wet slopes, delayed steering response, increased rolling resistance.
Verdict: satisfactory.

Positive: good winter properties, high aquaplaning safety, good price-performance ratio.
Negative: limited lateral guidance and longer braking distances on wet slopes.
Verdict: satisfactory.

Very balanced tires with top marks on dry roads. Good in the wet.
