When it is time to buy new tyres, there are so many choices it can be difficult to know which ones to choose.

Tyres and Brands available from Petrie Mechanical Repairs

At Petrie Mechanical Repairs we can supply new tyres for all passenger vehicles, SUV's, light trucks and 4WD's. The Brands we prefer to supply are Maxtreck Tyres, Federal Tyres, Ovation Tyres and Rydanz Tyres. We can supply tyres for all driving conditions including Off Road.

With specific weather conditions throughout Queensland it's worth getting advice from your local expert to help you find the right tyres to suit you and your vehicle.

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. Finding the right tyre to suit your budget, gives you durability, tyre life, braking and steering precision is a fine art.
