Essential Tyre Care Tips

Tyres play a crucial role in maintaining your vehicle's contact with the road, significantly influencing both safety and stopping power. Duca Automotive in Dandenong offers expert tyre care services to keep your vehicle in optimal condition.

Regular Tyre and Wheel Services

Routine car servicing not only keeps your car running smoothly but also includes essential tyre checks. At Duca Automotive, our experienced mechanics can alert you to any potential tyre issues and balance your tyres. These low-cost services can substantially enhance your driving experience and overall vehicle safety.

Professional Tyre Inspection

While you can perform basic tyre checks at home, the professionals at Duca Automotive can conduct comprehensive inspections. Our team examines both the internal and external conditions of your tyres, ensuring they meet manufacturer and legal standards. We can also diagnose issues with wheel alignment, tyre balance, and related components like brakes and suspension.

When to Replace Tyres

Tyres naturally wear out over time, accelerated by factors like hard braking, high-speed driving, and rough road surfaces. The tread depth is a key indicator for replacement; when it approaches 1.6mm, it's time to consider new tyres. Adequate tread ensures optimal traction, effective water dissipation, and maximum control, particularly in wet conditions. On average, tyres last between six to ten years, depending on care and driving conditions.

Importance of Tyre Pressure

Maintaining correct tyre pressure is vital for fuel economy and tyre longevity. Incorrect pressure can lead to uneven wear and impact vehicle drivability and safety. Regularly checking tyre pressure helps ensure balanced performance and extended tyre life.

Regular Tyre Checks and Rotation

Frequent tyre inspections are essential. Look for bald spots, tears, and embedded debris. Professional checks at Duca Automotive can reveal hidden issues. Additionally, regular tyre rotation every 8,000 to 10,000 km helps ensure even wear, enhancing tyre lifespan and vehicle performance.

Wheel Alignment and Balancing

Routine wheel alignment and balancing are crucial for preventing premature tyre wear, improving vehicle handling, and enhancing fuel efficiency. These services minimise vibrations and ensure even tyre wear, contributing to a smoother and safer ride.
