Common Tyre Questions
How often should I check my tyre pressure?
We recommend checking your tyre pressure at least once a month. Maintaining the correct PSI ensures optimal fuel efficiency, handling, and safety on the road.
What is the lifespan of a standard tyre?
Most tyres are designed to last between 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, lifespan varies based on driving habits, road conditions, and tyre quality. We advise regular inspections to determine when replacement is necessary.
When should I replace my tyres?
You should replace your tyres when the tread depth reaches 1.6mm. This is typically the legal minimum in Australia. We recommend having your tyres checked annually or every 12 months to ensure they are safe for your driving style.
How do I know if my tyres need alignment?
Signs of misalignment include uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, or a crooked steering wheel. We recommend a professional alignment check every 10,000 kilometers or when you notice these symptoms to maintain safety and tire life.
What are the benefits of rotating my tyres?
Regular rotation ensures even wear across all four tyres. This extends the overall lifespan of your tyres and maintains consistent traction and handling, which is essential for your safety and vehicle performance.
