Tyre & Alignment FAQs
How do I know when I need new tyres?
Check your tyre tread depth regularly. The legal minimum in Victoria is 1.5mm, but for safety, most experts recommend replacing tyres at 3mm. Look for uneven wear patterns, cracks in the sidewall, bulges, or persistent loss of pressure.
What is wheel alignment and why does it matter?
Wheel alignment refers to the angles of your tyres relative to each other and the road surface. Misaligned wheels cause uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side, reduced fuel efficiency, and handling issues. Alignment should be checked after hitting a kerb, pothole, or following suspension work.
What is the difference between wheel alignment and wheel balancing?
Wheel alignment adjusts the angle of the wheels to sit correctly relative to the road. Wheel balancing ensures the weight of the tyre and wheel assembly is evenly distributed, preventing vibration at speed. Both are important and often done together when fitting new tyres.
How often should I rotate my tyres?
Tyre rotation is typically recommended every 10,000 km or at every service, as part of normal vehicle maintenance. Regular rotation promotes even tyre wear and extends tyre life.
