13th of 16 tires
  • The Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 receives a satisfactory rating for driving safety, with weaknesses on dry roads limiting its overall performance. It lacks precision and feedback on dry surfaces, requiring frequent steering corrections and exhibiting a tendency to oversteer. While it offers satisfactory performance on wet and snowy roads, with good longitudinal aquaplaning resistance, its handling is less precise, and it has a lower threshold for understeer and oversteer. Its environmental performance is mixed, with a long lifespan and good fuel efficiency, but a higher weight and concerns about sustainability due to its production in China and manufacturing residues on new tires.

I am not driving that spirited, especially on winter tires - thus take my grip specifics with a grain of salt. In the grip category i don't see reason to complain. Sometimes i am in the mood to take an on-ramp near the limit of grip - behaviour here seems normal to me, the car tends to understeer. The previous winter tires i bought the car with were 8 year old Marangoni Meteo HP and those sometimes tended to oversteer and had quite bad wet grip, so i replaced them with these. After one winter season the front tires are severely more worn than the rears, i dont expect more than two seasons, so ca. 20000km out of these. On the inside of the car the tire sounds fairly loud with a repeating growling which feels a bit like a outgoing wheelbearing is described. My eagle f1 asymmetric 5 summer tires are far better in noise and comfort, which is important to me. The tires performed very well in the heavy snow we had this year. My car is lowered a bit and even with loose snow around the 10 cm mark i didn't get stuck while having a short donut session in a parking lot. I suspect with the immense wear now on the rear tires i would have more trouble in a similar situation. All in all i do not like these tires a lot but they are not horrible - for my next set of tires i will try another model in hopes of improving wear and noise.

Confidence inspiring tire. I chose this tire for its exceptional wet handling. Nowadays we didn't see a lot of snow in the winter however (because of high yearly mileage) I didn't want to buy an all season tire just yet. I made an excellent choice in my opinion for these type of conditions.
