We ensure compliance with all manufacturer and legal standards, offering advice on tyre issues, wheel alignment, and balance. Moreover, we can identify other car problems impacting tyre wear, such as issues with brakes or suspension.

Tyres degrade over time due to various factors such as harsh braking, high-speed driving, and rough road conditions. This degradation often manifests unevenly, with premature wear signalling the need for replacement. The tread depth, an essential indicator of a tyre's health, provides a reliable measure; a tread depth nearing 1.6mm typically means it's time for new tyres. Tread is crucial for traction and stopping power, especially in wet conditions, where it prevents aquaplaning by efficiently displacing water.

Proper maintenance of your tyres significantly extends their lifespan, ranging between six to ten years. The longevity of tyres depends on various factors such as your driving habits, the terrain you traverse, and weather conditions.

Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is crucial for vehicle efficiency, safety, and minimising tyre damage. Incorrect pressure can cause undue stress on the tyre, affecting its durability and your car's drivability. Routine self-inspections of tyres can help identify surface damages, such as cuts, bald spots, and objects that could potentially cause punctures. Nevertheless, periodic checks by tyre professionals are recommended to detect issues not visible to the untrained eye.

Due to different wear rates between front and rear tyres, rotation is recommended to ensure even tyre wear. At Wallan Garage, we perform various types of tyre rotation, advising on any arising concerns during the process.

Regular wheel alignment and balancing enhance tyre life, improve safety, handling, fuel efficiency, and reduce vibrations, contributing to a smoother drive. Despite meticulous care, tyre replacement becomes inevitable when they no longer offer the safety, comfort, and efficiency your vehicle requires. At Wallan Garage, we provide a broad selection of tyres suitable for various vehicle models, ensuring your car remains in top condition.

In summary, ensuring your vehicle's tyres are in optimal condition plays a vital role in guaranteeing your safety on the road, contributing to a comfortable and efficient driving experience. Proper maintenance, including regular inspections, correct pressure, rotation, wheel alignment, and balancing, significantly extends their lifespan, providing maximum value for your investment.
