Check your tyres and vehicle regularly
This means having your tyres balanced and the axle geometry checked. Regularly getting your tyres balanced – for example when changing from standard to cold weather tyres – ensures vibration free driving. Not only will the vehicle drive more smoothly, it reduces the wear on your tyres and on other parts of the vehicle suspension. Another positive aspect: you are increasing the safety for yourself, your passengers and other road users.

Sooner or later, you will have to replace your tyres
The point at which a tyre is replaced is a decision for which the owner of the vehicle is responsible. They should consider factors including service conditions, maintenance history, storage conditions, visual inspections and dynamic performance. If you have any questions about the state of your tyres please talk to us.

Tyres should be removed from service for any number of reasons, including tread worn down to minimum depth, damage or abuse (punctures, cuts, impacts, cracks, bulges, under-inflation, overloading, etc.). For these reasons tyres, including spares, must be inspected routinely, i.e. at least every two weeks. Regular inspection becomes particularly important the longer a tyre is kept in service.

Drivers are strongly encouraged to be aware of their tyres‘ visual condition. Also, they should be alert for any change in dynamic performance such as increased air loss, noise or vibration. Such changes could be an indicator that one or more of the tyres should be immediately removed from service to prevent a tyre failure.
We recommend fitting the same type of tyres (brand and tread pattern family) on all four wheels as this makes for superior handling and braking performance in all driving conditions. Tyre types should at best match on each axle. Make sure all your tyres are from the same manufacturer and are from the same tread pattern family.
