What the size on the sidewall means235/45 R18
235 · Width
The tyre is 235 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.

The Maxxis Premitra HP5 is a touring tyre built for everyday NZ driving. A full-silica compound aims to give you confident wet braking, while four wide grooves shift water to resist aquaplaning. A solid centre rib and reinforced shoulders keep steering precise at highway speeds, and a variable pitch pattern is designed to keep the cabin quiet on long trips.

A good fit if you…
  • Commute daily on a mix of city and motorway roads
  • Drive a modern hatch, sedan or crossover
  • Want confident wet braking without paying premium-brand prices
  • Cover long highway distances and value a quiet ride
Look elsewhere if you…
  • Track days or high-performance driving — it's a touring tyre, not a UHP
  • Serious off-road or loose-surface driving

    These guys are almost as fast and professional as a Formula One Pit Crew, with great prices to match. Big ups for transparently displaying your prices on your website, and for your focus on getting unstocked tyres in by midday next day. Called them at 3pm, had new tyres by 1pm today. Amazing service.
