Full silica compound. A high-loading, silane-coupled silica compound in the Maxxis VS6 Victra 225/45R19 96Y increases tan d in the wet-relevant temperature window while suppressing hysteresis at cruise frequencies, so you get strong wet braking and cornering grip with reduced rolling resistance. Functionalised SSBR/BR polymers enhance silica dispersion at the nano scale, minimising free carbon black domains and improving abrasion resistance on New Zealand chipseal. The net effect is a cooler-running tread that resists heat build-up under sustained motorway speeds, delivers consistent friction across a broad temperature range, and helps reduce fuel consumption without compromising tyre longevity.

Asymmetric tread design. The asymmetric pattern uses a high-stiffness outer shoulder for lateral load support and a higher-void inner zone with multi-angled lateral notches to accelerate water evacuation, giving precise turn-in on dry surfaces and confident stability in the wet. A tuned land–sea ratio and inter-block tie-bars control block deformation, lowering micro-slip and ensuring a uniform pressure footprint under combined braking-and-cornering loads. Variable pitch sequencing targets dominant cabin-noise frequencies on coarse NZ aggregates, reducing pattern noise while maintaining the steering linearity performance drivers expect from a Maxxis UHP tyre.

Four circumferential grooves. Four wide, straight channels create a high-volume, low-turbulence flow path that lowers the local water film thickness in front of the contact patch and raises the onset speed of hydroplaning. Tapered groove walls and interconnected lateral notches form a Venturi-like effect that maintains flow velocity as tread depth changes, sustaining drainage performance deeper into the tyre’s life. By stabilising hydrodynamic pressure across the footprint, the Maxxis VS6 Victra 225/45R19 96Y maintains contact edge integrity for shorter wet stopping distances and predictable lane-change control on saturated motorway surfaces.

Continuous centre rib. A solid, uninterrupted centre rib boosts on-centre stiffness and yaw gain, translating steering input into immediate lateral force with minimal delay. The rib works with low-elongation belt cords to resist circumferential shear, improving straight-line tracking and braking stability at open-road speeds. This architecture spreads longitudinal forces evenly across the footprint, reducing saw-tooth wear on NZ chipseal and preserving crisp steering feel over the tyre’s service life, so the VS6 Victra remains precise and composed under heavy braking or rapid acceleration.

Spiral nylon cap ply. A spiral-wound nylon cap ply constrains tread growth at speed, suppressing standing-wave formation and reducing cyclic carcass strain for superior high-speed durability. By stabilising the belt package, it maintains a consistent contact patch shape and camber thrust, which sharpens high-speed lane-change response and evens out wear across the shoulders. Thermal gradients through the crown are lowered, keeping compound properties within their optimal range during long summer runs, so the Maxxis VS6 Victra 225/45R19 96Y delivers sustained performance and uniformity on New Zealand roads.
