Maxxis Victra Sport 5 SUV is an asymmetric summer tire designed to be installed on large and heavy SUVs. According to the Taiwan manufacturer, its key features include outstanding traction on wet and dry pavements, great handling response at high speeds, and low fuel consumption.

The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 SUV was launched on the European market in 2020 as a reinforced version of the passenger-car tire model Victra Sport 5. Borrowed from this earlier model, the tread design with wide circumferential grooves and a lot of diagonal ones, served to increase stability on wet pavement. In addition, the “bionic” pattern of the central section of the tread not only improves the tire’s visual appearance but also ensures a better handling when driving in the rain.

It is noted that the tilt angle of the water evacuation groove walls serves to provide the required maneuvering stability, particularly at high speeds.

The rigidity of the shoulder sections of the Victra Sport 5 SUV was almost doubled – it was increased by 177%. This led to improvements in handling response during emergency maneuvers, and it also helps to prevent uneven tread wear.

The top layer of the tire carcass, made of nylon and aramid fibers, which are resistant to thermal expansion and compression, reduced the tire’s weight and rolling resistance, as well as optimized handling at high speeds.

As for the tread compound of the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 SUV, it is made from fourth-generation silica with fewer additives: the purer structure improves the reaction and other performance areas on wet pavement, at the same time increasing the tire’s resistance to tear and cracking. In other words, the upgraded rubber compound is responsible for the sturdiness and durability of this model.
