If your car has been giving you a bumpy ride, the steering is sloppy or the braking distance is longer than normal then it might be time for a new set of tyres.

Old tyres can also contribute to a decrease in fuel efficiency, not to mention the safety concerns.

Bring your car into Combined Automotive Services in Milton and we'll inspect and provide you with a report on how your tyres are wearing, tread depth and whether you need an alignment or balancing. We can also rotate and repair.

You should check your tyre pressure regularly and inflate (deflate) them if necessary.

Check your tyre wear patterns over time to make sure they are wearing at an even rate. If one part of the tyre is wearing much faster than other parts it could seriously reduce the lifetime of your tyres (and the money in your wallet). If your tyres are wearing unevenly, your car might need a wheel alignment.

Avoid driving through construction sites and other areas likely to have hazards that can cause punctures if possible. If it's unavoidable, always make sure you have a spare tyre and tyre changing equipment in your car. If you do happen to get a puncture, get it repaired ASAP so you're not driving around without a spare tyre.

Do not lose your tyre valve cap. If dirt and dust gets into the valve it can stop working and not let any air in or out... or worse, let air out but not in.
