Understand this tyre

What the size on the sidewall means235/60 R17
235 · Width
The tyre is 235 mm wide, measured sidewall to sidewall.
60 · Profile
Sidewall height is 60% of the width — a balanced mix of handling and ride comfort.
R17 · Rim
Fits a 17-inch wheel. Must match your rim diameter exactly.

The Maxxis HP5 Premitra is built for Kiwi roads, pairing a full-silica compound with an asymmetric tread to deliver confident wet braking, sharp handling, and low rolling resistance for better fuel economy. Four wide grooves clear water to resist aquaplaning, while a variable pitch pattern keeps things quiet. It is aimed at modern hatches, sedans and crossovers doing everyday driving and long motorway runs.

Wet grip
78%
No EU letter; description stresses wet braking, aquaplaning resistance
Quiet & comfort
72%
Variable pitch pattern lowers road noise; no dB rating given
Tread life
70%
Durable construction promotes long, even wear per description
Sports handling

Solid centre rib and reinforced shoulders for precise steering
A good fit if you…
  • Do everyday driving — commuting, school runs, motorway trips
  • Drive a modern hatch, sedan or crossover
  • Want fuel economy without giving up wet-weather confidence
  • Tackle variable NZ climates from fine-chip seal to smooth asphalt
Look elsewhere if you…
  • Track days or ultra-high-performance driving — it is a touring tyre, not a sport tyre
  • Serious off-road use — the asymmetric tread is engineered for sealed roads

    Huge thanks to TK once again from Hyper Drive for always looking after me whenever I need wheels or tires. He’s helped me out a lot with my Evo, and now with the Eclipse as well. He always provides great customer service, is easy to communicate with, and makes the whole process simple and stress-free. I really appreciate how he always sorts me out and takes the time to help properly. Definitely a 10/10 experience every time — highly recommend!

    Had Jay come out and fit and balance a new set of tyres for me. Top bloke, turned up on time, got straight into it, and had everything sorted in no time. Did a great job and the wheels feel spot on. Really easy process from start to finish. Would definitely recommend Hyper Drive, and Jay especially. Cheers Team!

    Awesome experience with Hyper Drive Mobile this morning. Steve was super friendly and easy to deal with, and made the whole thing really straightforward. He turned up earlier than expected and had the one new tyre fitted in under 30 minutes. Was also stoked to see he’d polished the tyres and topped up the air in all the others too. I didn’t even realise that was part of the service. Such a nice extra touch. Really good customer service and just an all-round great experience. Thank you!

    I used the chatbot as was so confused what battery I needed. Was so helpful and found the right one. Great service, shipping to my work address, which is an added bonus. Great price for the battery, didn’t know I needed a new one till mechanic flattened my battery.

    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.
