The size of the tyre is always on the sidewall of the tyre. The attached image (under Products and Services) shows what it looks like and what the numbers mean.
Every tyre has tread wear indicators in between the tread and generally across the whole width of the tyre at certain points. When any part of the tread is level with this indicator it means the tyre has already reached its legal limit and should be replaced.
This depends on the size of the tyre and the vehicle. Generally speaking the lower the sidewall profile, the more air pressure required to make the tyre work more efficiently. A tyre with correct air pressure will wear evenly, disperse water better and ultimately the vehicle uses less fuel as the engine is not working as hard as it does when the tyre is under inflated.
Wheel balancing is crucial to the smooth running of today's modern vehicle. Wheel imbalance can cause uneven tyre wear and excessive stress and strain on suspension components which lead towards premature and costly repairs. It is highly recommended that the balance of your wheels gets regularly checked in conjunction with rotation and alignment of the vehicle at 10,000km intervals.
Tyre rotations are recommended every 10,000 kilometres. The reason for this is front wheel drive cars will wear its front tyres much faster than its rear tyres. The same applies to rear wheel drive cars wearing its rear tyres faster. The 'driving' tyres basically need to have a rest from doing all the work! 4WD vehicles generally have the same rule but the rotation sequence is slightly different.
Your vehicle's tracking is very important as an incorrect alignment can cause severe wear patterns to a tyre. It can also affect the vehicle's handling. If your vehicle's alignment is ignored, your new tyres can be severely damaged in a very short amount of time.
As with anything nowadays quality is determined by cost. The better quality tyres embrace the latest in safety and technology and will offer the consumer better handling, better weather performance and last longer than their cheaper counterparts. Initially, it might seem that you are spending more at the time of purchase but with today's advances in technology; you will find that fuel consumption is lessened due to materials used in the construction of the tyres to lower the rolling resistance.
A regular tyre examination is essential to safety and vehicle performance. You should Inspect your tyres regularly, paying attention to, Objects embedded in the tread, Remove any stones or other objects embedded in the tyre tread. With your tread wear ensure tyres have adequate tread depth. If your tyres are worn to the tread wear indicators (TWI), they must be replaced. for more info see https://www.tyrepower.com.au/tyres/tyre-care/tyre-examination.
Tyre fitting and rotation are essential to tyre maintenance. Rotating your tyres periodically is an essential part of tyre maintenance. The main purpose of regularly rotating your tyres is to achieve more uniform wear for all tyres. If no rotation period or pattern is to be found in your owner's documentation, rotate your tyres at least every 10,000kms and follow one of the patterns suggested below. for more information https://www.tyrepower.com.au/tyres/tyre-care/tyre-rotation/.
