Frequently Asked Questions
Why do new tyres sometimes feel different when driving?
Fresh tyres often have deeper tread and different rubber compounds than the worn ones they replaced, which can change handling and responsiveness. Some drivers notice improved grip or a quieter ride, while others find the steering feels heavier until they adjust. It’s also normal for new tyres to have a brief “run-in” period as the surface layer wears in. Within a few hundred kilometres, performance usually settles to its intended level.
Can mismatched tyres affect vehicle safety?
Yes. Using tyres of different brands, tread patterns, or wear levels can cause uneven grip, unpredictable handling, and longer braking distances. This is especially noticeable in wet conditions where mismatched tyres may channel water differently, reducing stability. While it may be tempting to replace just one tyre, matching sets are far safer and often more cost-effective in the long run. A professional can advise whether a single replacement is safe for your specific situation.
How does incorrect tyre pressure impact performance?
Under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance, which makes engines work harder and fuel consumption rise. Over-inflation reduces the tyre’s contact patch, leading to uneven tread wear and less grip, especially in wet weather. Both conditions can shorten tyre lifespan and affect ride comfort. Regularly checking and adjusting pressure ensures tyres perform as designed, keeping your car safer and more efficient.

Not all tyres are made equal, and choosing the right ones depends on more than just size. Vehicle type, driving habits, and road conditions all influence which tyres will give you the best performance and value. Whether you need durable tyres for highway driving, everyday commuter tyres, or reliable options for family vehicles, professional supply ensures you get the right match.

Fitment done right
Precise Fitting For Maximum Safety
Supplying tyres is only half the job - fitting them correctly is what keeps your car safe on the road. Professional tyre fitment involves balancing, aligning, and torquing wheels to manufacturer specifications, reducing vibration and ensuring even tread wear. Skipping this step can shorten tyre life and make your car harder to control in emergencies. Accurate fitment also improves fuel economy and creates a smoother ride for both drivers and passengers.
With expert fitment, you can be confident every tyre is seated and balanced properly, ready to handle everyday driving or long-distance trips. It’s a simple step that protects your investment while keeping your car safer in all conditions.
