FAQ’s
How Often Should You Check Your Tyres?
Checking the tyre visually at regular intervals would help detect any damage, such as cuts, punctures, or bulges. Check the tread depth to ensure that it is within legal minimum standards of 1.6 mm. You should consider replacing your tyres when the tread is between 3 and 4 mm so that proper traction and safety can be maintained.
Why is proper tyre pressure important?
Maintaining the recommended tyre pressure is crucial in controlling the vehicle and in enhancing fuel efficiency and tire life. Inflated incorrectly results in premature wear of tires and unsafe driving conditions. As a thumb rule, check the tire pressure once a month and before long trips.
What is wheel alignment, and why has it been important?
Wheel alignment ensures that the wheels of your vehicle are set in an optimal position commensurate with the vehicle’s specification given by the manufacturer. Misalignment of the vehicle allows uneven wearing of tires and affects handling. When your car pulls to one side or uneven wear of tires, it requires adjusting the alignment.
