Maxxis HP5 Premitra
Premium touring tyre · 245/45R18
Understand this tyre
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.
- 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
- 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

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.
