Tyres
7 Ways To Prolong The Life of Your Tyres
- Always drive with a spare tyre.
- Replace missing tyre valve caps to keep water and dirt out of tyre valves.
- To ensuring your tyres wear evenly it is important to rotate your tyres every 10,000 km and align your wheels every 20,000 km.
- Tyre pressures should be checked every 2-3 weeks as all tyres slowly deflate over time.
- Tyre pressures should only be checked when the tyres are cold. As tyres warm up, the pressure builds and the heated tyres will portray an inaccurate reading.
- Match the same tyre treads on the same axle. All brands grip differently, which can cause handling problems if mismatched.
- Regular wheel balances ensure your tyres run smoothly on the road, which helps to improve your vehicle’s control, especially on wet roads.
