Description
- Predator Comptrax PR1 A/S Ultra High Performance Tyre
- The Predator Comptrax PR1 A/S is an ultra high performance all-season tyre that pairs sharp handling with a genuinely quiet ride. It is built for performance sedans, coupes, crossovers and SUVs that want year-round grip without a harsh cabin, and is sold in New Zealand exclusively through Tyre Dispatch. Its standout is the spec sheet: a UTQG rating of 560 AA A, which means a long-wearing compound with the highest wet-traction grade on the scale.
- The PR1 A/S uses an asymmetric tread, so each half of the tyre does a different job. The outer shoulder, anchored by a solid circumferential rib, sharpens steering response and straight-line stability. The inner shoulder and central tread blocks carry deep sipes that pull water off wet roads, then close up and interlock as the tyre loads in a corner, firming the contact patch for stronger dry traction and shorter braking. Three main grooves with curved lateral channels move the bulk of the water out from under the tyre to keep it in contact with the road. The 560 treadwear rating points to real kilometre life, and the AA traction grade is the top wet-grip rating a tyre can carry.
- Key Features
- Asymmetric tread design. The outer shoulder and a solid circumferential rib drive cornering grip and steering response, while deep sipes on the inner shoulder and central blocks evacuate water and then interlock under cornering load to firm up dry traction and braking.
- AA traction, long-wearing. A UTQG 560 AA A rating combines a durability-focused compound with the highest wet-traction grade and A-rated temperature resistance.
- Strong wet performance. Three main grooves and curved lateral channels evacuate the bulk of the water to keep the tyre in contact with the road when it rains.
- Responsive, stable handling. A solid circumferential rib next to the outer shoulder blocks sharpens turn-in and increases straight-line stability.
- Quiet, year-round comfort. An all-season build tuned for a low, settled noise level suits daily driving and longer trips alike.

+About Electric Vehicle Tyres
About EV Tyres
Electric vehicles often require tyres that can handle greater weight due to their heavy battery packs. They also benefit from tyres designed to withstand the increased torque and unique performance demands of EVs.
We stock both dedicated EV tyres and higher load-rated tyres that can be suitable for electric vehicles.
Important Information
Always check your vehicle's required load index before purchasing. Higher load-rated tyres (XL) offer enhanced weight capacity and durability suitable for many EVs.
If unsure about suitability for your specific EV, contact us and we'll help you find the right tyre.
Available Options (Sorted by Size Match)
Electric Vehicle Tyres
Tyres specifically designed for electric vehicles with optimised rolling resistance and noise reduction.
Higher Load-Rated Options
Higher load index tyres suitable for heavier vehicles including many EVs.
