Signs of tyre wear
Uneven tread wear, cracks on the sidewall, bulges, and tread depth below the wear indicators are all signs a tyre may need attention. If tyres are more than 5–6 years old, have them inspected even if they look fine.
Tyre pressure basics
Correct pressure improves fuel economy, handling and tyre life. Check pressure when tyres are cold and follow the values printed on the sticker inside your driver's door frame.
Wheel alignment vs wheel balancing
Alignment corrects wheel angles so the car tracks straight. Balancing corrects weight distribution so wheels spin without vibration. They fix different problems and are usually done together after new tyre fitment.
Tyre rotation
Rotating tyres between positions every 8,000–10,000 km helps them wear more evenly, extending their useful life.
FAQ
＋How do I know when it's time to replace my tyres?
Check for shallow tread depth (below wear indicators), sidewall damage, repeated pressure loss, or age above 5–6 years. A quick inspection at our showroom is free.
＋Can I mix tyre brands or sizes?
We recommend matching tyres on the same axle. Mixing sizes affects handling and can be unsafe on modern vehicles.
＋Is nitrogen filling necessary?
It's optional. Nitrogen helps tyres hold pressure more consistently, especially over long trips. Regular air is also fine when kept at the correct pressure.
Recommendations can vary by vehicle variant and manufacturer specification. Confirm the approved tyre size for your specific vehicle before purchasing.
