Maxxis VS5 SUV Victra 235/55R19 105Y

Maxxis VS5 SUV Victra 235/55R19 105Y is a premium ultra-high-performance SUV tyre engineered for Kiwi roads, delivering confident wet and dry grip, sharp steering response and a quiet, refined ride. Its asymmetric tread with high-silica compound and 3D grooves clears water fast for powerful braking and aquaplaning resistance, while a reinforced casing and rigid outer shoulder add stability under load and at speed. Low-noise variable pitch boosts comfort, and a rim protector helps guard alloys. Choose VS5 SUV Victra for performance you can trust—available in popular SUV sizes and ready for fitting.

Advanced silica compound. A high-loading, functionalised silica compound with optimised silane coupling in the Maxxis VS5 SUV Victra 235/55R19 105Y delivers a lower glass transition temperature window for enhanced micro-hysteresis on wet surfaces while suppressing macro-hysteresis at operating temperatures, reducing rolling resistance and heat build-up under heavy SUV loads. Improved filler dispersion increases the effective contact-area adhesion at the micro-scale, shortening wet braking distances and boosting traction on cold, rainy New Zealand roads. The compound’s balanced viscoelastic profile stabilises tan delta across a broad temperature range, preserving grip consistency from early-morning commutes to long-haul motorway runs. Lower energy loss translates to improved fuel economy without compromising wear resistance.

Asymmetric tread design. The asymmetric pattern combines a rigid, wide outer shoulder for lateral stiffness with a higher-void inner shoulder and multi-directional channels, delivering precise turn-in, confident mid-corner control, and superior wet evacuation where it’s needed most. A continuous centre rib enhances on-centre feel and straight-line stability, minimising tramlining and improving lane-keeping under crosswinds common to taller SUVs. Pressure-distribution has been tuned to reduce localised shear and block deformation, aiding even wear and sustained performance over the tyre’s service life. You get predictable handling and braking in both dry and wet conditions with minimal compromise.

Reinforced SUV carcass. Engineered for higher vehicle mass and elevated centres of gravity, the VS5 SUV Victra employs a reinforced carcass with high-tensile steel belts and a jointless, spiral-wound nylon cap ply to maintain footprint integrity at speed and under load. A stiff bead apex and robust bead filler improve steering response, while resisting rim slip and maintaining air retention during high lateral loads such as evasive manoeuvres or towing. The construction manages heat through the belt package, reducing ply fatigue and preserving compound properties over long kilometres. Built-in rim protection helps shield alloy wheels from kerb contact, adding real-world durability.

Wide drainage grooves. Four wide circumferential grooves pair with swept lateral channels and chamfered block edges to accelerate water evacuation, lowering hydrodynamic lift and maintaining tread-road contact during heavy rain. The channel geometry promotes rapid pressure equalisation, raising the critical hydroplaning threshold and stabilising the contact patch on standing water. 3D sipes create additional biting edges without sacrificing block rigidity, improving wet braking and early-rotation grip. The result is confident, repeatable stopping and steering on wet New Zealand roads at typical SUV operating loads.

Low-noise pitch sequencing. A variable pitch sequence with multi-length tread blocks and staggered leading edges spreads acoustic energy across frequencies, cutting tonal peaks that transmit into the cabin as drone. Reduced air-pumping at block entry/exit and optimised groove resonance work together to lower pass-by noise while keeping tread blocks stiff for handling. The carcass and cap-ply synergy further damp cavity resonance, improving NVH without sacrificing steering precision. Enjoy quieter motorway cruising and urban comfort with the performance feel you expect from Maxxis.
