Your car's tyres are essential for ensuring a smooth, safe, and efficient ride. By taking a few simple steps, you can significantly extend their lifespan, saving money and enhancing your driving experience. Here are some essential tips to help you keep rolling longer on your tyres.
Keeping your tyres inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure is crucial for longevity. Under-inflated tyres can cause uneven wear and increase fuel consumption, while over-inflated tyres can lead to a harsh ride and increased risk of blowouts.
Tip: Use a reliable pressure gauge and adjust the pressure as needed.
Proper wheel alignment ensures that your tyres wear evenly and your vehicle handles correctly. Misalignment can cause your tyres to wear out quickly and unevenly, affecting your car's performance and safety.
Tip: Have your wheel alignment checked every 10,000 km or if you notice uneven tyre wear, your vehicle pulling to one side, or a vibrating steering wheel.
Rotating your tyres ensures even wear across all four tyres, helping them last longer. Tyres wear differently depending on their position on the vehicle, and regular rotation can balance out this wear.
Tip: Rotate your tyres every 10,000 km or as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Tyre balancing corrects the uneven distribution of weight in the tyres and wheels. Unbalanced tyres can cause vibrations, leading to premature wear and tear on both your tyres and suspension system.
Tip: Have your tyres balanced whenever you replace them or if you experience vibrations while driving.
Overloading your vehicle puts excessive pressure on your tyres, causing them to overheat and wear out faster. It can also lead to tyre blowouts, which are dangerous and can cause accidents.
Tip: Check your vehicle's load capacity in the owner’s manual and avoid exceeding this limit.
Regular inspections can help you catch potential issues before they become serious problems. Look for signs of wear, such as cracks, bulges, or foreign objects lodged in the tread.

Tip: Wash your tyres regularly with mild soap and water, and avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the rubber.
