Understand this tyre

What the size on the sidewall means255/45 R19
255 · Width
The tyre is 255 mm wide, measured sidewall to sidewall.
45 · Profile
Sidewall height is 45% of the width — a low profile, giving sharper steering response.
R19 · Rim

This is a premium UHP summer tyre built for drivers who want sharp steering and strong braking on NZ roads. An asymmetric tread and aramid hybrid belt keep the contact patch stable at speed, while silica-rich compound and Aqua Hydro Block channels improve wet grip and aquaplaning resistance. Reduced rolling resistance and pitch sequencing help lower noise and fuel use.

Wet grip
78%
Aqua Hydro Block channels and high-silica HSSC compound boost wet grip.
Quiet & comfort
72%
Optimised pitch sequencing helps reduce noise; no dB rating given.
Tread life
68%
Lower belt-edge strain extends casing durability for long service life.
Sports handling
88%
UHP tyre; aramid belt lifts yaw stiffness and on-centre feel.
A good fit if you…
  • Drive on open roads and motorways where precise steering matters
  • Want confident wet braking in summer conditions
  • Push your car through corners and expect stable, sharp turn-in
Look elsewhere if you…
  • Need a winter or all-season tyre for cold, frosty or snowy conditions
  • Drive mostly short city trips where UHP performance is wasted

    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.
