6.4 /10 Conditionally recommended

The Premitra HP6 is Maxxis's latest summer touring tire, replacing the HP5 with meaningful improvements in longevity and wet safety. It delivers 10-15% better mileage and over 7% shorter wet braking distances thanks to connecting bridge sipes and four optimized longitudinal grooves. A 2025 Red Dot Design Award winner, it punches well above its budget positioning with A-rated wet grip across the 70-size lineup.
