Understand this tyre

What the size on the sidewall means215/45 R17
215 · Width
The tyre is 215 mm wide, measured sidewall to sidewall.
45 · Profile
Sidewall height is 45% of the width — a low profile, giving sharper steering response.
R17 · Rim
Fits a 17-inch wheel. Must match your rim diameter exactly.

The Dunlop Direzza ZII is an ultra-high performance summer tyre aimed at drivers wanting motorsport-derived grip on both road and track. A high-stiffness carcass, rigid shoulder blocks, and a high-silica compound deliver sharp turn-in and stable braking. Optimised grooves clear water for wet control, while the compound's rapid warm-up suits typical New Zealand club-level track conditions.

    Needed full set of new tyres and wheel alignment. Got 3 local quotes from Otara, Papatoetoe & Otahuhu. Advantage turned out so much more cheaper. They were awesome. Service great, experience on point and the general atmosphere was very welcoming.

    Haven't used their services before, but just had an extremely dangerous experience with one of their company vehicles on the motorway. The man was lane splitting and dangerously cutting off cars in traffic. I reckon i wont ever use the service purely from that guy.

    Loved the service very effective. When I enquire about wheel alignment. The 3 guys were Phillipines. Thank you very much. I will be back for my wheel alignment.
