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
Fits a 19-inch wheel. Must match your rim diameter exactly.

Designed specifically for electric sports vehicles, this Michelin uses an ElectricGrip Compound to handle high torque and a GreenPower Compound that claims up to 60km of extra battery range. Acoustic Technology cuts perceived noise by 20%, while MaxTouch Construction spreads cornering, braking and acceleration forces evenly for confident handling.

Wet grip
88%
Excellent wet grip new and worn; high-stiffness centre profile
Quiet & comfort
82%
Acoustic Tech gives 20% reduction in perceived noise level
Sports handling
85%
Increased cornering stiffness; efficient torque transmission
A good fit if you…
  • Drive an electric performance vehicle and want to maximise battery range
  • Prioritise a quiet cabin on long motorway journeys
  • Enjoy confident cornering and want responsive handling
Look elsewhere if you…
  • Drive a conventional petrol or diesel vehicle — the EV-specific compounds add cost without the torque benefit

    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.

    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.
