Tyres: Correct Pressure and Uneven Wear

Tyres are the only contact your car has with the road. Correct pressure and even wear mean shorter braking, lower fuel use and safety.

In this article, our workshop team explains step by step what to watch out for, so you can make the right decisions for your car and avoid unnecessary costs down the line. The recommendations below are based on our team's day-to-day experience in the shop.

What to keep in mind

• Check the pressure monthly, cold, against the plate in the driver's door
• Wear on the edges means under-inflation; wear in the middle means over-inflation
• Wear on one side only signals a wheel alignment problem
• Rotate the tyres every 10,000 km for even wear
• The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm

Bottom line: prevention is always cheaper than repair. Book a check-up at our shop and enjoy professional diagnostics, warrantied parts, and transparent advice. Book online in just a few minutes.
