Frequently Asked Question
- How long does it take to fit new tyres?
The time it takes to fit a new tyre depends on several variables and it is hard to pinpoint an exact time. In general, it is best to expect 15-30 minutes per tyre change. - How long do tyres last?
Tyres can last up to five years with proper care, although it is recommended to change your tyres at least every 40,000 kilometers. If tyres become damaged or there are signs of excessive wear and tear, then consult with a professional. - What does it mean to balance a tyre?
Essentially, tyre balancing involves ensuring proper weight distribution around the unit. It is typically performed during routine maintenance or if there is too much tyre vibration. - Do new tyres need balancing?
It is best to balance new tyres to avoid a smooth and comfortable experience while driving. It also helps slow down tread wear and can improve fuel economy. - Is it worth repairing a punctured tyre?
Depending on the size of the puncture, it might be best to replace the tyre rather than repair it. If the puncture is small, then you can likely fix the issue long-term through a professional tyre repair.
