Maxxis Victra Sport 6 vs Yokohama Advan Sport V107
The data shows a clear pattern: V107 repeatedly leads in dry braking and dry handling, and usually has the edge in wet handling and aquaplaning stability, which matters most for confidence when pushing on wet roads. The Victra Sport 6's strongest counters are rolling resistance (fuel/energy use) and, in two of the three shared datasets, shorter wet braking distances-though its wet-cornering behaviour is repeatedly described as less confidence inspiring than the Yokohama's.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been three tests which compare both tyres directly!
| Tyre | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Maxxis Victra Sport 6 | one | |
| Yokohama Advan Sport V107 | two |
While it might look like the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is better than the Maxxis Victra Sport 6 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.
Key Strengths
- Lower rolling resistance in both reported tests (e.g., 8.08 vs 10.1 kg/t in Autobild 2026), supporting better fuel/energy efficiency
- Strong straight-line wet braking in two of the three shared results (e.g., 28.7 m vs 30.6 m in the 52-tyre braking test; 44.9 m vs 47.9 m in Autobild 2026)
- Refinement-focused road manners noted in EVO (quiet over rough surfaces, good impact absorption; strong road-route/refinement result)
- Often lower noise output in the Autobild dataset (71.8 dB vs 73.1 dB)
- Consistently shorter dry braking across all shared tests (three wins; typically ~3% advantage, e.g., 34.1 m vs 35.1 m)
- Stronger wet handling and driver confidence (Autobild wet handling 82.0 vs 80.7 km/h; subjective wet 7.3 vs 5.3; EVO subjective wet 58 vs 54)
- Better aquaplaning resistance in both straight and curved measures (Autobild straight 93.0 vs 89.2 km/h; EVO curved 16.03 vs 13.26 m/sec²)
- Better longevity/value picture in Autobild (wear 45,630 km vs 39,670 km; slightly better value index 14.03 vs 14.12)

Conclusion
The Maxxis Victra Sport 6 is best viewed as a value/efficiency-leaning UHP option rather than a class leader. It can be competitive in straight-line wet braking in some protocols (Autobild braking test: 28.7 m vs 30.6 m; Autobild 2026: 44.9 m vs 47.9 m), and it's notably more efficient (lower rolling resistance in both reported tests: 8.08 vs 10.1 kg/t in Autobild 2026; 8.3 vs 9.8 kg/t in EVO). However, its overall proposition is undermined by poorer wet-handling confidence (Autobild subjective wet: 5.3 vs 7.3) and significantly shorter projected wear life in the long-run cost picture (Autobild wear: 39,670 km vs 45,630 km), meaning the low purchase price doesn't automatically become the lowest cost-per-kilometre.
Practical takeaway: the V107 is the tyre you choose for dependable, repeatable performance and wet-weather control; the Victra Sport 6 is the tyre you choose if efficiency and initial outlay matter most-provided you drive within its wet-cornering limits and accept potentially higher wear.
Key Differences
- Dry braking is a clear Yokohama advantage in every shared test (about 2.9-3.3% shorter stopping distances), a meaningful safety/performance margin in emergency stops
- Wet braking is inconsistent by test: Maxxis wins in both Autobild wet braking results provided (44.9 vs 47.9 m; 28.7 vs 30.6 m), but Yokohama wins in EVO (28.55 vs 30.62 m) - suggesting protocol/surface sensitivity and making wet-cornering data more decisive
- Wet handling and subjective wet confidence favour Yokohama strongly (Autobild subjective wet: 7.3 vs 5.3), aligning with test-driver comments about sharper, more secure wet behaviour
- Aquaplaning resistance consistently favours Yokohama (straight and curved in Autobild; very large curved gap in EVO: 16.03 vs 13.26 m/sec²), improving stability at speed in heavy rain
- Efficiency swings to Maxxis: materially lower rolling resistance in both sources (roughly 15-20% advantage), which can matter for EV range and fuel cost
- Running costs/longevity tilt to Yokohama in Autobild: longer wear life (45,630 vs 39,670 km) and slightly better value index despite higher rolling resistance

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
