Don’t let the maintenance on your tyres slip!

Keep the following factors in mind when maintaining your car.

• Tyres should change position on the car every 8-10,000 kms dependant on the car manufacturers recommendations.
• Rotating the tyres extends their life by evenly distributing the wear and tear across tyres, which varies by tyre position on the car.
• Tyre air pressure should also be top of mind. Having properly inflated tyres protects against tyre damage and reduces the possibility that the car will spin out of control.
• Don’t forget to check your tyre pressure every month.
• Tyres wear down over time, if your tread is below 1.5mm then you are driving illegally and at risk of aquaplaning at high speed.
• Check the tread wear indicator bars on your tyres. If they are level then the tyre has met its minimum tread and it’s time to get new tyres.
• Ever noticed a weird vibration when driving? Then you could be in serious need of wheel alignment, where the wheels and axles are realigned. It increases safety, tyre life and is fuel saving.
• Inspect your tyres for damage! Anything poking into or out of your tyres is a serious danger! A pro tip is to turn your wheels from left lock out and then to right lock out, to get better visibility.
• Not sure if your tyres are roadworthy? Take them immediately to a tyre shop specialist for a full range of expert checks.

 Not maintaining your tyres creates a risk for you to run flat tyres or worse lose control of your vehicle! It’s always a safe bet to find a quote from a tyre shop near you, especially if you are looking for effective 4x4 tyres.
