When it's time for new tyres

Several factors indicate the need for new tyres

Tread Depth: The legal minimum tread depth in Australia is 1.5mm. However, for optimal safety and performance, we recommend replacing your tyres when the tread reaches 3mm. You can easily check tread depth using the built-in tread wear indicator (TWI) bars on your tyres.
Visible Tyre Damage: Cuts, bulges, or cracks in the tyre sidewall compromise its integrity and can lead to blowouts. Replace any tyre with such damage immediately.
Tyre Age: Even with good tread depth, tyres deteriorate over time due to exposure to heat, sunlight, and weather. We generally recommend replacing tyres after 5-7 years, regardless of tread depth.
Vibration or Uneven Wear: If you experience vibrations while driving or notice uneven wear patterns on your tyres, it's time for a replacement.

Safety Concerns of Worn Tyres

Worn tyres pose significant safety risks

Reduced Grip: Shallow tread depths compromise traction, especially in wet or slippery conditions, increasing the risk of braking distances and loss of control.
Hydroplaning: Worn tyres are more prone to hydroplaning, where water builds up between the tyre and the road surface, causing a loss of traction and potentially leading to accidents.
Blowouts: Severely worn or damaged tyres are more susceptible to blowouts, which can cause sudden loss of control and serious accidents.

Be on the lookout for these indicators that your tyres are unsafe

Tread Depth Below 3mm: Check your tread depth regularly using a tread depth gauge or the TWI bars.
Visible Damage: Look for cuts, bulges, or cracks in the tyre sidewall.
Vibrations: If you feel vibrations in the steering wheel, floorboard, or seat while driving.
Uneven Wear: If your tyres have uneven wear patterns, such as feathering or cupping.
Reduced Handling: Notice a decline in your vehicle's handling, especially during braking or maneuvering.

Vehicle Specifications: Your car's owner's manual or tyre placard will specify the recommended tyre size, speed rating, and load rating.

Performance vs. Budget: We offer a variety of tyres with different performance levels and price points. We'll help you find the right balance between performance, price, and tread life.
