How to Make Your Car Tyres Last Longer

Tyres last longer when they are inflated correctly, rotated on time and inspected before small damage becomes major damage.

1. Check tyre pressure monthly

Low pressure increases heat and wears the outer tread. High pressure wears the centre tread. Check pressure when tyres are cold.

2. Rotate tyres every 5,000 to 8,000 km

Front tyres usually wear faster because they handle steering and braking. Rotation balances wear across all four tyres.

3. Fix alignment issues early

If the car pulls to one side or the steering vibrates, inspect alignment and balancing before the tyre wears unevenly.

4. Inspect tread depth

Look for bald patches, cuts, nails and uneven wear. Early inspection can save the tyre from sidewall damage.
