Advanced rubber compounds
Engineered for optimal grip in heat, cold, and wet conditions.
Smart tread architecture
Designed to prevent hydroplaning and shorten braking distances.
Innovative tread designs
Featuring 3D blocks and reinforced bridges for improved handling, reduced wear, and enhanced traction – both on and off-road.
Reinforced casings
Built for high-speed stability and structural integrity.
Silent Technology
Specialized noise-reduction design ensures a quiet, comfortable ride.
Durability by Design
Every MAXXIS tire is engineered for resilience and long-lasting performance, even under demanding conditions.
All MAXXIS tires meet EU tire label standards – and go beyond:
Maximum grip in wet, dry, and snowy conditions
High stability at speed and under load
A precise, confident driving feel – on any surface
At MAXXIS, we don’t just build tires. We build trust.
Proving ground
Proving Ground: Where Craftsmanship Is Put to the Test
At MAXXIS, safety and performance are at the core of every tire we make. And we don’t rely on standard testing – we take it further. Every model is tested at our own proving ground: the world’s largest tire testing facility.
With a €150 million investment, we’ve created a complex built for extreme conditions, precision testing, and uncompromising quality control.
11 specialized test tracks. One mission: top-tier performance, maximum safety, and proven durability.
High-Speed Track (4.5 km)
Three lanes, banked corners, and speeds up to 230 km/h – where we test high-performance tires under real-world pressure.
Performance Handling Course (1.2 km, 40 m wide)
Dynamic lane changes, slalom, and high-speed handling scenarios.
Brake Test Track with Variable Friction (0.2 – 0.8)
From dry tarmac to icy roads – we fine-tune braking and ABS for all conditions.
ISO Noise Test Track
Built to global standards – for optimizing ride quietness and comfort.
NVH Track (Noise, Vibration, Handling)
Eight surface types, five levels of roughness – we analyze every sound and vibration a tire can produce.
Wet Handling Track (1.4 km)
Adjustable water films up to 10 mm – for hydroplaning resistance and wet traction analysis.
Dry Handling Course (2.5 km)
High-speed cornering, load transfers, and aggressive manoeuvres – precision tested.
Skid Pads (Dry: 125 m / Wet: 60 m)
Ideal for testing vehicle control and grip under extreme cornering conditions.
Durability Test Loop (4.6 km)
Nine different surface textures – real-world wear and endurance testing.
Aquaplaning Test Area with High-Speed Camera
Capturing 5,000 images per second through a glass pit – revealing how water moves through the tread in real-time.
