How often should tyres be replaced?

Tyres generally need replacing every 40,000 to 80,000 kilometres, depending on driving habits, road conditions and tyre quality. They should also be replaced if the tread depth falls below the legal limit of 1.5mm in Australia. Worn tyres reduce traction and braking performance, especially in wet conditions.

How do you know when tyres need replacing?

Common signs include low tread depth, visible cracks in the rubber, uneven wear, vibrations while driving or reduced grip on the road. Many tyres also have built-in tread wear indicators that show when the tread has reached the minimum safe level.

Why is tyre tread important?

Tyre tread helps maintain grip between the vehicle and the road surface. The grooves in the tread channel water away from the tyre, reducing the risk of hydroplaning during wet weather. Adequate tread depth improves braking distance, steering control and overall driving safety.
