How do I know when my tyres need replacing?

Signs tyres may need replacing include low tread depth, visible cracks, bulges, uneven wear, frequent pressure loss or reduced grip in wet conditions. A vehicle that feels less stable or takes longer to stop can also point to tyre problems. Replacing worn tyres at the right time helps maintain safety, handling and braking performance.

Do tyres affect fuel consumption?

Tyres can affect fuel use more than many drivers realise. Underinflated tyres create extra rolling resistance, which means the engine has to work harder to keep the vehicle moving. Poor alignment, uneven wear and the wrong tyre type can also reduce efficiency. Keeping tyres properly inflated and in good condition helps support better fuel economy.

What tyre pressure should a car have?

The correct tyre pressure depends on the vehicle and should be checked against the manufacturer’s recommendation, usually found on a placard inside the driver’s door frame or in the owner’s manual. Pressure that is too high or too low can affect grip, braking, comfort and tyre life, so regular checks are important.
