Tyre Care & Safety

Keep a few rules in mind, check regularly, and take simple steps—your tyres will last.

  • Check Tyre Pressure Monthly

    Advice: Check your tyre pressure at least once a month and before long journeys, including the spare tyre. Correct inflation optimizes performance and increases safety.

    How to do it: Check tyres when "cold" (at least 3 hours after driving). Use a certified air pressure gauge and compare the measured pressure to the recommended PSI found in your vehicle owner’s manual or on the sticker inside the driver’s side door.

  • Inspect Tread Wear Regularly

    Advice: Worn tyres lose adhesion on wet roads, increasing the risk of hydroplaning. Replace tyres when tread depth reaches the legal minimum.

    How to do it: Look for the built-in “Tread Wear Indicators” (small raised bars, 1.6mm high, running across the main tread grooves). A tyre must be changed as soon as the tread wears down to these indicators.

  • Use Winter Tyres Below 7°C (44°F)

    Advice: Below 7°C, summer tyres harden and lose grip. Winter tyres stay flexible for better safety on snow, ice, and wet roads.

    How to do it: Fit 4 winter tyres for balanced handling. Fitting only 2 can cause spinning or skidding in bends.

  • Store Unused Tyres Properly

    Advice: Tyres age even when not in use. Surface cracks and distortion can occur if stored incorrectly. Proper storage increases tyre life and performance.

    How to do it: Keep tyres in a “well-ventilated, cool, dry area” away from direct sunlight, heat, flames, chemicals, solvents, ozone sources (like electric motors), and any sharp objects.

FAQS

Know more tyre knowledge, can better protect your tyres, avoid danger!

  • What to Consider When Choosing a New Tyre
    Key factors: braking and handling test results, tread wear, ride comfort, noise level, and rolling resistance. Your choice also depends on your local climate, road conditions, performance needs, and vehicle requirements.
  • Check the Tyre’s Manufacture Date Before Buying
    The last four digits of the serial code tell you the week and year of production. For example, “1416” means the 14th week of 2016. Avoid buying tyres older than 3 years if possible.
  • Understand Speed Rating for Safety

    Speed rating indicates the maximum speed a tyre can safely support the vehicle’s weight. Always check your vehicle owner’s manual for the recommended speed rating when replacing tyres.

  • Warranty Conditions: Uneven Wear May Void Coverage
    If your tyres wear unevenly, an authorized dealer must inspect them. Damage caused by improper inflation or mechanical issues (e.g., poor alignment) voids the warranty. Only workmanship or material defects are eligible for a claim.
  • How to File a Warranty Claim

    Tyre adjustments under warranty are only handled at an authorized retailer. For any warranty questions, contact your local retailer directly.

  • When to Replace Tyres – Key Warning Signs

    ·Tread depth below 2/32″ (legally worn out).
    ·Exposed metal wires.
    ·Vehicle pulls to one side (alignment issue, but tyres may be unevenly worn).
    ·Tyres are 3+ years old.
    ·Season mismatch (e.g., summer tyres in winter).
