The Maxxis Premitra Ice 5 SP5 SUV is a winter tyre designed for light trucks and SUVs, featuring a studless design optimized for extreme winter conditions. The tyre incorporates the innovative SiRu silica rubber compound that remains flexible in low temperatures, allowing it to conform to uneven icy surfaces and enhance traction and handling. Key technologies include wave-shaped sipes that absorb water from icy surfaces, a V-shaped tread pattern for improved control, and multiple intricate tread blocks for reliable grip on snow. In terms of performance, the tyre demonstrates improved ice braking distance compared to its predecessor, with reduced stopping distance from 25 to 5 km/h by more than 3 meters. The tyre offers quieter performance than earlier models, providing a more comfortable driving experience. It is ideally suited for a wide range of light trucks and SUVs, including models such as Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, and BMW X5. Load and speed ratings vary by size, with examples including 94T and 104T ratings depending on the specific tyre dimension.
