Complete Tyre Solutions You Need
Your tyres do more than grip the road—they affect braking, fuel efficiency and overall comfort. Regular tyre checks and alignments prevent uneven wear, improve safety, and save money by extending tyre life. With professional fitting and balancing, you can avoid vibration, pulling and other issues that make driving stressful.
Steel wheels provide strength and durability for work vehicles or off-road use, while alloy wheels deliver lighter handling and a stylish finish. Choosing the right tyre and wheel combination makes a real difference to performance and safety. Whether you’re replacing a single tyre or upgrading all four, professional tyre services give you peace of mind every time you drive.
Wheel Alignments
Wheel alignments are essential for safe handling and long tyre life. When wheels aren’t aligned correctly, tyres wear unevenly, steering feels off, and fuel consumption increases. Professional alignments adjust the camber, caster and toe angles to manufacturer specifications. This helps your car drive straight, reduces vibration, and maximises tyre performance. Regular alignments also save money by preventing premature tyre replacement.
Steel & Alloy Wheels
Choosing between steel and alloy wheels depends on your needs. Steel wheels are tougher and ideal for work vehicles or off-road driving. They’re affordable and withstand rough conditions but add weight. Alloy wheels, on the other hand, are lighter, improving handling, braking and fuel efficiency, while also offering a stylish finish. Both options have benefits, and the right choice depends on your driving style and vehicle requirements.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How often should tyres be replaced?
Tyres should generally be replaced every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometres, or when tread depth reaches 1.6mm. However, replacement may be needed sooner if tyres show signs of uneven wear, cracks or bulges. Driving conditions also matter—frequent off-road or stop-start city driving can shorten tyre life. Regular inspections help ensure tyres are safe before problems develop.
Why is wheel alignment important?
Wheel alignment ensures tyres meet the road at the correct angle, improving handling, braking and fuel efficiency. Poor alignment causes uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side, or vibrations at speed. By adjusting camber, caster and toe angles, mechanics restore alignment, extending tyre life and improving safety.
What is the difference between steel and alloy wheels?
Steel wheels are strong, affordable and perfect for heavy-duty or off-road driving. They’re heavier, which can affect fuel use, but offer excellent durability. Alloy wheels are lighter, improving handling, acceleration and fuel economy, while also offering a sleek, modern look. Many drivers choose alloys for style and performance, while steel wheels remain a practical choice.
