What should you know before buying new tyres?

Buying a new set of wheels is an important investment in your car’s overall safety, for your peace of mind and ensuring a smoother ride for you and your family. 

When we’re constantly on the go, sometimes we may not give the condition of our wheels a second thought – but it’s crucial to ensure they’re in a suitable condition for optimal performance.

Here are a few things to consider when upgrading and buying new tyres for your car.

 

Which are the best tyres for your car? 

At Bits4Blokes, we stock a range from all the leading manufacturers with brands you know and trust, including Goodyear, Maxtrek Maximus, Sailun Terramax and Atrezzo, Vitour Galaxy R1 and more. 

Each has been engineered for safety and performance when you hit the road – whether you’re taking the family car for a spin, a weekend warrior or a performance driver zipping round the track. You’ll want to ensure the type you choose is made with tough, premium materials to ensure ultimate durability and your own peace of mind. 

Of course, each set suits a different use and purpose. With so many choices available on the market, you’re right to be asking which model is best to suit your vehicle. 

This will depend on the make of your car, and what your budget is. Are you looking for something more heavy-duty for your ute, 4WD or work vehicle? Or something lighter for your family vehicle? If you’re not sure what will suit, give our team a call for a chat and we’ll discuss our recommendations for what’s best for your vehicle.

 

How do I know when it’s time to replace them? 

Some experts say that a good tyre is built to last roughly about five years. There are a number of factors, however, that affect how quickly your wheels will wear out. 

Everything from your driving style, the way you brake, the way you accelerate and the weight your car is carrying can influence this. The tread can also be worn away depending on the kind of surfaces you’ve been driving on. Any other damage can lead to your wheels becoming unroadworthy, too. 

The law states that you should have at least 1.5mm tread depth across the surface. If it becomes worn or bald, then you know that it’s time to buy replacements.

 

Premium accessories for your car 

Here at Bits4Blokes, we stock packages that suit a wide range of makes and vehicles. These include everything you need to get fitted and ready to go, including your rim and wheel. 

For all other queries, get in touch and give our professional team a call today. With all the best brands and leading quality products, we’ll have you right to go in no time. As always, we’re here to lend a hand with further tips and expertise should you need it.
