Features and Benefits
- Advanced asymmetric tread pattern: Optimises cornering stability and balanced handling performance by positioning different tread geometries on the inner and outer sections of the tread — improving overall grip distribution and confident, composed handling.
- Green silica compound technology: State-of-the-art silica reinforcement improves the rubber compound’s wear resistance while simultaneously reducing rolling resistance — delivering improved fuel efficiency and longer tread life in a single compound formulation.
- Modern premium rubber compound with reduced rolling resistance: Refined rubber technology minimises energy loss as the tyre rolls, contributing to lower fuel consumption and higher overall mileage — a practical benefit for everyday drivers covering regular kilometres on New Zealand roads.
- Four wide circumferential grooves for water evacuation: Efficiently channel water away from the contact patch to reduce aquaplaning risk and maintain wet weather grip and braking confidence — particularly relevant for New Zealand’s frequently wet road conditions.
- Solid centre rib: Provides continuous road contact for enhanced steering precision and high-speed stability, keeping the tyre tracking accurately and responding predictably at motorway speeds.
- Reinforcement elements in shoulder blocks: Deliver exceptional grip and unwavering stability through corners and lane changes, adapting to varied driving conditions and maintaining composure under dynamic loads.
- Narrow transverse grooves along outer tread edges: Specifically positioned to reduce tyre rolling noise resonance, ensuring a noticeably quieter cabin experience — one of the HP6’s standout qualities in real-world driving and owner feedback.
- Optimised tread block design for ride comfort and noise reduction: The tread block arrangement is tuned to minimise road-generated noise frequencies, contributing to the refined, comfortable driving experience the Premitra range is known for.
- EV compatible construction: Available in sizes and speed ratings suited to electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, handling the additional weight and torque requirements of modern EVs without compromising ride quality or tread life.
