The first thing we need to know, before we can advise you on the best tyre choice, are your vehicle details: Make & Model, current tyre size, if a 4WD - any vehicle modifications, what driving conditions you encounter in your daily driving and recreational driving.

Regular tyre rotation (usually annually) ensures even wear of tyre tread on all four tyres. By moving the front tyres to the back it will extend the life of the tyres as very often the front tyres receive the most pressure with braking, turning, hitting potholes etc

We don't recommend replacing 1 tyre only unless it is the spare. If you only swap one tyre then it will react differently to the other 3 and can affect steering, braking and your suspension system. It is always best to change a minimum 2 tyres at a time, so that there is no uneven wear and your vehicle handling will be much better.

Tyre pressure is definitely important. We recommend keeping your tyres pumped up to the recommended psi and regularly check them every fortnight or monthly at the longest interval to ensure they aren't deflated. Deflated tyres or under inflated tyres will wear extremely quickly. Every vehicle type and driving style will require slightly different tyre pressure so make sure you learn what tyre pressure is best for you.

The Right tyre choice can ultimately save you money on fuel, last longer and give you a quieter, more comfortable ride. The cheaper tyre is not always the best decision for you, your driving style and your safety.
