The Dunlop SP SPORT LM705 is pitched at everyday Kiwi drivers wanting comfort without paying premium prices.

Extra tread blocks are claimed to improve road contact in the wet. It's also designed to keep noise down.

    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.

    I had a fantastic experience with Tyroola Ltd! The ordering process was smooth and hassle-free, and their customer service was excellent. The fitting service was quick and professional. The prices were competitive, and I appreciated the clear communication throughout the process. I highly recommend Tyroola for anyone looking for quality tyres and great service!
