Specifications
MAXXIS SP-02 ARCTIC TREKKER
MAXXIS SP-02 ARCTIC TREKKER 225/40R18 92S XL — quality All season tyre from MAXXIS. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Average. The MAXXIS SP-02 ARCTIC TREKKER sits at class C, the middle of the fuel scale. Nothing unusual either way — the tyres won't push your consumption up, but they won't trim much off it either.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Below average. The MAXXIS SP-02 ARCTIC TREKKER is rated D for wet grip. It handles rain, but stopping distances on wet roads run noticeably longer than the higher grades. Worth keeping in mind if you often drive in heavy weather — leave a bit more room when it's wet.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
Slightly above average. At 72 dB the MAXXIS SP-02 ARCTIC TREKKER is a touch louder than the middle of the scale. You'll notice a bit more hum at speed, though it stays well within legal limits and rarely bothers you on shorter trips.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The MAXXIS SP-02 ARCTIC TREKKER carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
Are these tyres certified for snow?
Yes. The MAXXIS SP-02 ARCTIC TREKKER carries the 3PMSF mark — the three-peak mountain snowflake — which a tyre only gets after passing an official snow-braking test. It counts as a proper winter tyre in countries where winter tyres are required by law, and it's a real measure of snow performance, not just the softer M+S label that makes no promise about grip.
MAXXIS is a mid-range class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
