2023 Tyre Reviews SUV Winter Tyre Test P8 of 9

In eighth place overall was the Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 SUV. This was a nice handling tyre, it was predictable and stable and had good grip in the dry, however sadly the grip in the wet and the snow just weren't up to scratch and it had the second to worst rolling resistance, 30% higher than the best on test.
