Tyre Maintenance
Is it time for a check up?
It’s important to periodically check and carry out maintenance on tyres. Find out here about rotation, balancing, tread wear and other key aspects of maintaining tyres.
How important are correct tyre pressures?
Ideally, you should check your tyre pressure at least twice a month. Incorrect inflation can cause excessive wear, which can cause tyre overheating, an increase in fuel consumption and sudden air loss from the tyre.
How do I know when my tyres need to be replaced?
Treadwear indicators are placed at the bottom of the tread grooves around the tyre. It's important to check your tyre tread regularly and When the indicators are visibly flush with the adjacent tread ribs, it's time to replace the tyre.
What does tyre balancing mean?
Tyres should be accurately balanced when they are mounted to your vehicle. Unbalanced tyres cause vibration, which can lead to premature, irregular tyre wear and place unnecessary strain on the vehicle's suspension.
