Tyres are a significant investment, but with a little care, you can maximise their lifespan.

Here’s how to keep your tyres in top condition for longer:

1. Maintain Proper Tyre Pressure

Check your pressure at least once a month. Under or over-inflated tyres wear unevenly and reduce fuel efficiency.

2. Rotate Your Tyres

Switch the front and rear tyres every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. This helps them wear evenly and extends their life.

3. Wheel Alignment and Balancing

Misaligned wheels cause your tyres to wear faster and affect handling. Get your alignment checked if your vehicle pulls to one side or your steering feels off.

4. Avoid Harsh Driving

Speeding, hard braking, and aggressive cornering all reduce tyre lifespan. Smooth driving helps keep your tyres in good shape.

5. Inspect Regularly for Damage

Look for nails, cuts, bulges, or cracks. Early detection means you can often repair rather than replace.

Bonus Tip: Keep your tyres clean! Built-up dirt and brake dust can degrade rubber over time.
