Built specifically for electric vehicles, this Hankook uses its iON technology to target wear life and rolling resistance together. Noise-absorbing tech keeps the cabin quiet, which matters when your motor is nearly silent. A ProDurable compound aims for longer tread life, while the aramid-reinforced construction and shoulder blocks deliver confident wet-weather handling.

    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.
