Tyres and Wheel Service

There are many signs you may need new tyres, such as uneven wearing of the tyre, noise, the steering wheel is not straight, or your vehicle may be pulling to one side.

When should you replace your tyres?

Damaged, improperly inflated, or worn out tyres may lead to extensive damage (i.e. accident), or at the very least, vastly decrease fuel economy and decrease traction.

Most tyres have tread depth indicator strips on the tread across the tyre. When these are showing in the tread it's time to get new tyres. It is a legal requirement to have a tread depth of at least 1.5mm across 3/4 of the tread width and around the whole circumference of the tyre.

How often should you check your tyres?

It is important to regularly check the condition, air pressure and tread depth of your tyres, and only travel when your tyres are in safe condition. Good tyres contribute tremendously to a car's safety and performance - they provide traction for acceleration, turning, and most importantly braking.

• Tyre pressure should be checked at least once a month.
• Keeping an eye on tread depth will help ensure you're getting the correct level of traction.
• To ensure even wear, tyres should be rotated at least every 12 months
• Wheel Alignmentis also important in keeping the tyres wearing evenly and keep them in good shape. Faulty alignment can cause your tyres to wear unevenly and will end up costing hundreds of dollars in replacement tyres.
