FAQ's
How often should tyre pressure be checked?
Tyre pressure should be checked at least once a month and before long journeys. Correct tyre pressure is essential for safety, fuel efficiency, and tyre longevity.
What causes uneven tyre wear?
Uneven tyre wear can be caused by incorrect tyre pressure, poor wheel alignment, unbalanced wheels, or worn suspension components. A professional inspection can identify the exact cause.
How do I know if my wheels need balancing?
Common signs include vibrations in the steering wheel, floorboard, or seat at certain speeds, particularly between 80-100 km/h. Uneven tyre wear can also be a symptom.
Can I drive with a punctured tyre?
Driving with a punctured tyre is not recommended and can be dangerous. It can lead to further damage to the tyre and rim, loss of control, and even a blowout. If you have a puncture, pull over safely and inspect the damage, then call for assistance or change to a spare tyre.
How long do tyres usually last?
The lifespan of tyres varies significantly based on driving habits, road conditions, tyre type, and proper maintenance. Generally, tyres can last between 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers, but they should be regularly inspected for wear and age, regardless of mileage.
