Tires & alignment

Tires and alignment affect safety, handling and how long your tires last. We check them, show you the options and prices, and fit only what you approve.

Signs you may need this

  • Uneven or fast tire wear
  • Car pulls to one side
  • Steering wheel off-centre when driving straight
  • Vibration at high speed
  • A tire that keeps losing pressure
  • Cracks, bulges or nails in a tire

A bulge in the sidewall or a tire that is losing air quickly is unsafe. Do not drive on it. Fit the spare or contact us.

What we check

  • Tread depth and tire pressure
  • Sidewall damage, nails and punctures
  • Alignment angles (toe, camber and caster)
  • Suspension and steering play
  • Wheel balance

How it works

  1. We check tires, wheels and alignment.
  2. We show you what we found with options and prices.
  3. You approve. Then we fit, balance or align and re-check.

Tires & alignment FAQ

When should I replace my tires?

Replace them before the tread wears down to the legal minimum, and sooner if they are cracked, bulging or more than about six years old. We measure the tread and tell you.

How often do I need an alignment?

Get one after hitting a kerb or pothole hard, when you fit new tires, or if the car pulls or tires wear unevenly.

Why rotate tires?

Tires wear differently depending on where they sit on the car. Rotating them evens the wear so a set lasts longer.
