Features and Benefits
- Consumer NZ recommended: Independently tested and recommended by Consumer NZ (test size 175/65R14) — a trusted, impartial New Zealand endorsement that confirms the MA-P3 delivers on its promises of wet braking, cornering performance, and durability in real-world conditions.
- Four circumferential grooves with multiple lateral grooves and sipes: Drain water quickly and efficiently from the contact patch, maintaining strong wet road traction and confident braking performance in the heavy rain and wet conditions that are a regular feature of New Zealand driving.
- Closed shoulder tread groove design: Blocks road noise resonance from entering the tread area, delivering a noticeably quieter, more refined cabin experience whether you’re commuting in traffic or cruising on the open road.
- Solid centre rib: Provides a stable, continuous contact point for precise, immediate steering response and confident handling stability — keeping the tyre planted and predictable through corners and under braking
Triple polymer tread compound technology: Balances three performance characteristics simultaneously — long tread life, extra grip performance, and fuel-efficient running — so you don’t have to trade one benefit against another. - Low rolling resistance compound: Reduces the energy required to keep the tyre rolling, contributing to improved fuel economy and lower running costs over the life of the tyre.
- Spiral jointless nylon cap ply: Reinforces the belt structure with a continuous nylon wrap for improved high-speed stability, longer tread life, and more consistent handling as the tyre ages.
- New closed shoulder construction design for stable contact patch: Maintains an even, stable footprint under braking and cornering loads, improving braking performance and overall traction consistency in both wet and dry conditions.
