ROTATE YOUR TYRES TO BEAT WEAR AND TEAR

Tyre wear and tear is natural part of driving, unfortunately. Since most cars are front-engine cars, the front axle bears more weight than the rear axle. This means your front tyres wear quicker than your back tyres.

There are also other causes of uneven wear, like:

• Turning left. Most interchanges and parking ramps require you to turn left. Left turns are tighter than right turns, causing your right front tyre to wear out faster than the left.
• Sidewall damage. The sidewalls on your left tyres are more likely to get bumped and rubbed against the pavement when parking your car. This can cause asymmetric sidewall wear.
• Braking. Heavy, sudden and frequent braking can add stress to your front tyres

What can you do about it?

Rotating your tyres will help ensure even tread wear, allowing them to last longer. Rotation entails swopping the back and front tyres around first, and then swopping the left and right front tyres.

Depending on the type of car you drive, we typically recommend you do this every 10,000 km.

BALANCING

BALANCE YOUR TYRES

Regardless of how well or how little you drive, tyres do eventually wear down over time. It is unlikely that they’ll wear down evenly, and this can cause:

• Changes in the mass of rubber on your tyres.
• A weight imbalance.
• The steering wheel to shimmy and shake.

Despite advanced rubber compounds and manufacturing processes, even new tyres need to be balanced sometimes.

Filling your tyres with nitrogen will allow them to run at a lower temperature. This means that:

• Your tyre’s footprint will be larger, improving grip and road handling.
• Your tyres will last up to 20% longer
