SUV Tyres
Confidence on every road, from city to coast
SUVs are New Zealand's most popular vehicle type, and for good reason — they handle everything from the school run to weekend getaways on gravel roads. SUV tyres need to balance comfort and road noise for daily driving with enough grip and durability for the occasional unsealed road. Whether you drive a Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, or Mitsubishi Outlander, the right SUV tyre transforms your driving experience.

Choosing the Right SUV Tyres
Highway Terrain (HT)
The most popular choice for NZ SUVs. HT tyres are designed primarily for sealed roads with occasional gravel. They offer the best comfort, lowest noise, and longest tread life. Ideal if 90%+ of your driving is on tarmac.
Wet Weather Performance
SUVs are heavier than sedans, so they need more stopping power in the wet. Look for tyres with wide circumferential grooves and high silica compounds. EU wet grip rating A or B is recommended.
Fuel Economy
SUVs already use more fuel than sedans. A fuel-efficient tyre (EU rating A or B) can save you $200–400 per year. Low rolling resistance compounds make a real difference on heavier vehicles.
Load Rating
SUVs carry more weight than passenger cars. Always check the load index matches or exceeds your vehicle's requirement. An underrated tyre can overheat and fail at motorway speeds.
Sidewall Strength
If you regularly drive on gravel or potholed roads, consider tyres with reinforced sidewalls (XL or extra load). This protects against punctures from sharp stones — common on NZ rural roads.
All-Season vs Summer
Most NZ SUV drivers do well with all-season tyres. If you frequently drive to ski fields or through the Central Plateau in winter, consider dedicated winter tyres for those months.
