Tips to extending the life of your tyres
Our vehicles make contact with the surface of the
road via the tread on a tyre. Considering that
the tread is the only thing gripping our car to
the road, it makes sense to always ensure your tyres are
in good condition.
As Tyrepower Noosa are
in the business of supplying and fitting a wide range of tyres for our Sunshine Coast customers,
we thought it pertinent to share some tips with our readers so they can get the
most out of their tyres before they need
replacement.
Check the air pressure
Each month we recommend you check the air pressure in your tyre and at every occasion where you will be taking an
extended driving trip. Your log book or
the label on the inside of the drivers side door will tell you the recommend
amount of air pressure your tyres should
have.
Having the correct air pressure in your tyres ensures even tread wear and improves fuel
economy.
Rotate
your tyres
By rotating your front tyres to back and vice versa,
you are ensuring there is even tread wear, helping your tyres to last longer.
Wheel
balancing
If your wheels are
imbalanced, i.e. incorrectly weighted, you will feel a vibration when doing
higher speeds. By having the wheels balanced at
regular intervals it will stop the vibration and avoid premature tyre wear.
Wheel alignment
A wheel alignment aligns the
axles to your vehicle. If your wheels are out of alignment it can make the tyres wear
out faster, affect the vehicles steering and add to fuel consumption.
These simple tips can easily prolong the life of your set of
tyres, so you can enjoy trouble free motoring.
If your tyre has suffered a
puncture, it is best to have it repaired by the professionals at Tyrepower Noosa.
A DIY job could result in your tyre blowing
out at high speed, causing a potentially dangerous situation.
Tyrepower Noosa offer free tyre checks for motorists as your tread depth should
be a minimum of 1.5mm for it to be legal!
If your tyres do need
replacing, you can count on Tyrepower Noosa’s extensive
