Once a month is a good rule of thumb. Keeping your tyres at the right pressure helps them last longer, keeps you safer on the road, and improves fuel efficiency. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference.

Each vehicle has its own recommended pressure — usually found on a sticker inside the driver’s door or in the owner’s manual. Not sure? Pop in and we’ll check it for you — happy to help.

That’s usually a sign your wheels are out of alignment. It can happen from everyday driving or hitting a pothole. A wheel alignment sorts it out and helps your tyres wear evenly, saving you money over time.

They’re smaller and not as strong as regular tyres, so they limit your speed (usually to 80 km/h) and shouldn’t be driven on for long distances. If you’ve had to fit your space saver, pop in as soon as you can and we’ll get your proper tyre repaired or replaced.

Most tyres last around 40,000–50,000 km, but it depends on your driving, the roads, and how well you look after them. Regular checks and maintenance can help them last longer.
