We'll match a lower advertised price from another New Zealand retailer on the same item (same brand, model, colour and size). Clearance products are excluded.

Found it cheaper overseas? Send it through anyway. Once GST and freight are added the gap often closes, and we'll compare it on a landed-cost basis.

Product Description

Redefining EV Performance Through Advanced Technology.

The Minerva E-Speed 2 is the next evolution in EV-focused tyre engineering. Designed specifically for the demands of electric vehicles—instant torque, increased vehicle weight and the expectation of near-silent refinement—it delivers exceptional cornering response, wet-weather confidence and enhanced energy efficiency.

With integrated foam technology to suppress cavity resonance, paired with advanced pitch-variation acoustics, the E-Speed 2 provides an impressively quiet cabin experience even at motorway speeds. Its new tread design, featuring the 3D Aqua-Slash System and high-rigidity shoulder blocks, ensures confident handling and stability whether navigating city streets or sweeping bends.

Engineered to offer a strong cost-to-performance value, the E-Speed 2 brings premium EV benefits to everyday drivers wanting a smoother, quieter and more efficient electric motoring experience.

Key Features

Advanced Noise Reduction with Foam Technology

  • Built-in acoustic foam absorbs internal resonance, delivering a noticeably quieter cabin.

  • Pitch Variation Technology cancels repetitive tread harmonics for low-frequency comfort.

  • “Silence Edge” design helps dampen airflow noise at the shoulder area.

Instant Water Clearance for Wet Safety

  • 3D Aqua-Slash System rapidly channels water away from the contact patch.

  • Enhanced groove geometry maintains grip in heavy rain and reduces hydroplaning risk.

High-Rigidity Shoulder Blocks for Cornering Control

  • Reinforced outer shoulder delivers precise steering feedback and stability under high torque.

  • Provides confident grip when loading the outer tyre through corners.

  • “Cornering Anchor” construction offers added support during quick direction changes.

Low Rolling Resistance for Maximum Range

  • Energy-efficient compound reduces hysteresis and lowers energy loss.

  • Helps extend driving range—ideal for daily EV use and long motorway trips.

  • Balanced compound design maintains both efficiency and durability.

Engineered for Modern EV Demands

  • Designed for higher EV weight and torque characteristics.

  • Efficient, stable and quiet—optimised for electric mobility from the ground up.

  • Strong cost-to-performance value delivers EV-specific benefits at an accessible price.
