Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs I need new tyres?
There are several signs that indicate it’s time to replace your tyres. One of the most obvious is low tread depth—when your tread is worn down to 1.6mm or less, the tyre is no longer safe or legal to use. You might also notice uneven wear, which can be caused by poor alignment or suspension issues.
Cracks in the tyre’s sidewall, frequent air loss, or a rougher ride than usual are also red flags. Another key indicator is age—tyres degrade over time, even if they look fine. Most manufacturers recommend replacing tyres every 5 to 6 years, regardless of tread wear. Regular inspections are the best way to catch these issues early and avoid breakdowns or blowouts.
How do I choose the right tyres for my vehicle?
Choosing the right tyres depends on several factors, including your vehicle type, driving conditions, and personal driving habits. For example, if you drive a 4WD in off-road or rural areas, you’ll likely need all-terrain or mud-terrain tyres that offer durability and grip. City drivers might prefer highway or touring tyres designed for a quieter, more comfortable ride with good fuel efficiency.
Load rating and speed rating are also important—these numbers indicate how much weight your tyres can safely carry and the maximum speed they can handle. To ensure the best fit, always refer to your vehicle’s owner manual or tyre placard for recommended specifications. If in doubt, it’s smart to speak with a tyre professional who can assess your needs and guide you to the most suitable options.
How often should tyres be rotated and balanced?
Tyre rotation and balancing are key to prolonging the life of your tyres and improving your vehicle’s performance. It’s generally recommended to rotate your tyres every 10,000 kilometres, or as suggested by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Rotation helps distribute wear more evenly across all four tyres, especially since front tyres often wear out faster due to steering and braking forces. Tyre balancing should be done when new tyres are installed or if you notice vibration while driving.
Balancing ensures that the tyre’s weight is evenly distributed around the wheel, reducing uneven wear and preventing strain on your suspension. Regularly rotating and balancing your tyres improves handling, extends tyre life, and contributes to a smoother, safer ride.
