Performance Analysis
Drawn from 4 tests. Updated November 26, 2025.
Across four all-season tests, the Maxxis All Season AP2 delivers middle-to-lower tier performance with notable variability. It peaks with a respectable mid-pack to upper-mid result in smaller comparison groups but falls back in larger, more competitive fields. This suggests a balanced but unspecialized tyre that can be acceptable for budget-focused buyers, yet lacks the consistency to challenge class leaders.
Key strengths emerge in at least one comprehensive, multi-criteria test where it placed near the top third, indicating workable overall capability. However, bottom finishes in older tests and a lower-half result in a large 27-tyre shootout point to clear limitations when benchmarked against newer or stronger competitors.

2015 Auto Express All Season Tyre Test
As the cheapest tyre on test, Maxxis can be proud of their fourth place, finishing just 5% behind the winner overall. Seeming focusing on snow and dry during development, the Maxxis falls behind in the wet, finishing last in all the shallow water tests. It's better news in the dry and snow where the Maxxis gets close to the best, finishing third in dry braking, and second in the snow circle.
