Understand this tyre

What the size on the sidewall means225/45 R18
225 · Width
The tyre is 225 mm wide, measured sidewall to sidewall.
45 · Profile
Sidewall height is 45% of the width — a low profile, giving sharper steering response.
R18 · Rim
Fits an 18-inch wheel. Must match your rim diameter exactly.

You get a run-flat tyre with an Aramid reinforcement belt that holds its contact shape for stable high-speed steering. Interlocking outside grooves channel water to cut hydroplaning risk, and the highly stiff outside shoulder sharpens dry cornering. An advanced HSSC compound is designed for better mileage, giving you a blend of safety, control, and longevity on New Zealand roads.

Wet grip
76%
Interlocking grooves prevent hydroplaning; superior wet handling claimed.
Quiet & comfort
68%
Run-flat construction typically firms the ride; comfort is mentioned.
Tread life
70%
Advanced HSSC compound explicitly designed for enhanced mileage.
Sports handling
85%
Aramid belt and stiff outside shoulder for precise high-speed control.
A good fit if you…
  • Drive a performance hatch or sedan and want confident cornering
  • Want run-flat safety so you're not stranded after a puncture
  • Mix motorway cruising with wet-weather commuting
Look elsewhere if you…
  • Prioritise a plush, soft ride — run-flats trade comfort for roadside safety

    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.
