It is fitted as original equipment on premium SUVs including the Audi Q3 and Q5, Mercedes GL, and BMW X5, and serves as the reference tyre for the Porsche Cayenne. A zero-degree variable spacing belt is designed to maintain road contact at speed for heavier, faster 4x4 vehicles.

    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.
