Why tyre safety matters

Tyres are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, making them a critical component of your vehicle's safety system. Properly maintained tyres contribute to better traction, handling, and braking performance, especially in adverse weather conditions. Neglecting tyre maintenance can lead to reduced grip, increased braking distances, and even tyre blowouts, putting you and your passengers at risk. Getting tyres right is essential for your safety and other road users.

Our tyre safety services

• Tyre inspections: Regular tyre inspections are essential for identifying signs of wear, damage, or improper inflation. Our experienced technicians conduct thorough inspections to assess the condition of your tyres and recommend necessary repairs or replacements.

• Tread depth checks: Adequate tread depth is crucial for maintaining traction on wet and slippery roads. We use precision tools to measure tread depth and ensure your tyres meet legal requirements for safety.

• Pressure checks: Proper tyre inflation is critical for optimal performance and safety. Incorrect tyre pressure can lead to uneven wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and compromised handling. We perform pressure checks and adjust tyre pressure as needed to keep your tyres in top condition.

• Wheel alignment: Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tyre wear and affect vehicle handling and steering responsiveness. Our wheel alignment services ensure that your wheels are properly aligned for optimal performance and tyre longevity.

• Tyre balancing: Imbalanced tyres can cause vibrations and uneven wear, leading to premature tyre failure. Our tyre balancing services help distribute weight evenly across your tyres, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride.

FAQs about tyre safety

Q - How often should I check my tyre pressure?

A - It's recommended to check your tyre pressure at least once a month, as well as before long trips or carrying heavy loads. Proper tyre pressure ensures optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and tyre longevity.

Q - What is the legal minimum tread depth for tyres?

A - The legal minimum tread depth in most regions is 1.6 millimetres. However, for optimal safety, it's advisable to replace tyres before they reach this limit, especially in wet or slippery conditions.

Q - How can I tell if my tyres are properly aligned?

A - Signs of misaligned wheels include uneven tyre wear, steering wheel vibration, or the vehicle pulling to one side. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's essential to have your wheel alignment checked by a professional.

Q - Can I repair a punctured tyre, or does it need to be replaced?

A - Minor punctures can often be repaired if they are located in the tread area and are not too large. However, punctures near the sidewall or larger damages may require tyre replacement. Our technicians can assess the damage and recommend the appropriate course of action.

Q - How long do tyres typically last?

A - The lifespan of tyres depends on various factors, including driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance practices. On average, tyres can last anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 miles, but it's essential to monitor tread wear and replace tyres as needed for safety.

Q - What are the benefits of tyre rotation?

A - Tyre rotation involves moving tyres from one position on the vehicle to another to promote even wear. This helps extend the lifespan of your tyres, improves performance, and ensures a smoother ride. We recommend rotating your tyres every 6,000 to 8,000 miles or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.

Q - How can I extend the lifespan of my tyres?

A - Regular maintenance, including proper inflation, alignment checks, rotation, and avoiding harsh driving habits, can help prolong the lifespan of your tyres. Additionally, driving cautiously and avoiding potholes and other road hazards can minimize wear and tear.

Q - What should I do if I experience a tyre blowout while driving?

A - If you experience a tyre blowout, remain calm and keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Gradually reduce your speed, avoiding sudden movements or braking. Pull over to a safe location and assess the damage. Avoid driving on a flat tyre, and if necessary, contact roadside assistance for help.
