You can find your tyre size on the sidewall of your tyres. The tyre size is represented by 3 sets of numbers – e.g. 215/60R16.

You can also find this information located on the driver’s door pillar or in your vehicle owner’s manual.

Note: If there is any discrepancy between the numbers provided on the sidewall of your tyre and the manufacturer’s specifications, it would be advisable to consult your nearest tyre workshop for advice.

When you buy a new tyre, the tread has an excellent grip on the road surface and wet conditions as it channels the water out preventing aquaplaning.

As the tyre tread wears down, all these essential functions can be compromised.

Replacing your tyres before the tread depth falls to 1.5mm is desirable.

We highly recommend this service to ensure you get maximum life out of your tyres and prevention of premature tread wear.

Getting a wheel alignment is recommended to avoid uneven tread wear, car pulling to the left or right and steering vibration.

Note: Wheel Alignment should be carried out to maximise the life of your tyres every 6 months or every 10,000km whichever comes first and when purchasing new tyres for your vehicle.

Did you know that for every 1psi under inflated, you can lose up to 2000km of your tyre? It is vital to maintain the correct tyre pressure to maximise the tread life and better handling of your tyres.

The tyre should be inflated while it is cold to have an accurate reading. And remember, to check the spare tyre!

Rotating your tyres frequently does helps your tyres to wear more evenly. Tyres will be worn at different levels depending on your vehicle.
