Looking after your tyres will not only save you money on tyres and fuel, but they are an important safety feature of your car. Replacing tyres can be expensive and normally at the worst possible time, so taking car of your tyres may help them last a little bit longer. Keeping your tyres inflated at the manufacturers recommendations and regularly checking is one of the easiest and most important checks you can do for your tyres. If your tyre is under inflated it generally means that the tyres will wear faster and require move fuel to run the car.

Checking the tread on the tyres is important also. All four tyres should be of the same tread pattern, including the spare tyre which is often forgotten about until you get a flat tyre. If fitting new tyres, put them on the same axle - preferably the rear. 

If you don't have time to check your car tyres then speak to your mechanic, tyre service provider or other automotive professional about the services they provide and if they can help you maintain your vehicle's tyres. 

Need new tyres? Again, your tyre service professional will help you decide what tyre is the best for your vehicle and budget. The different types of tyres include:

Premium tyres are the tyres you'll find on most new cars and many others even up to 10 years old, they normally come with road hazard warranties. 

Budget tyres are cheap as the name suggests but that doesn't mean they're unreliable. All tyres sold in New Zealand have to meet a standard. They may not have the tread life, cornering ability or road-handling performance of a premium tyre.

High performance tyres are designed specially for higher-performance cars. These tyres typically have a low profile. 

Directional tyres. Some tyres are one-directional meaning they're designed to be fitted to the car so their tread pattern faces a particular way. Fitting them on the wrong side of the car may affect the car's handling and wet road grip. Keep this in mind if you have one that is a spare tyre. Speak to your local tyre professional about whether these are the right choice for you. 

Snow-tyres are like the name suggests for use in alpine/snowy areas in winter. If you are thinking about using your vehicle to go to the snow this winter then you might want to discuss this with your tyre professional and be prepared before winter. 

There are many different types of tyres depending on what kind of vehicle you are driving and where you will be driving the most.
