Built for performance-oriented SUVs, this Hankook uses an aramid-reinforced belt and high-silica compound to keep the contact patch stable under heavy loads at motorway speeds. Wide shoulder blocks and interlocking grooves aim to sharpen cornering and resist aquaplaning on wet roads. The SUV-specific casing is designed to handle the extra mass while keeping wear even and the ride quiet over long Kiwi kilometres.

    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.
