Tyre Safety at North End Motors, Geraldine

Tyre safety is vital for every driver, and at North End Motors Geraldine, we prioritise it as part of our services. Understanding the importance of tread depth and tyre pressure can significantly improve your vehicle's performance and safety on the road.

Tread Depth
Maintaining the proper tread depth is crucial for ensuring your vehicle has effective grip during braking and cornering. At North End Motors Geraldine, we emphasise that the legal minimum for tyre tread depth is 1.5mm across three-quarters of the tread pattern around the entire tyre. This standard is essential for optimal traction, especially in wet or slippery conditions. Many tyres come with built-in tread depth indicators to help you monitor wear. If any part of your tyre shows less than 1.5mm of tread, it’s time to replace it.

Tyre Pressure
Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is another important factor in tyre safety. Under-inflated tyres can result in increased fuel consumption and poor handling, while over-inflated tyres can cause uneven wear and reduce safety. At North End Motors Geraldine, we recommend regularly checking your tyre pressure to ensure your vehicle operates both efficiently and safely.

Regular Inspections
Tyres are inspected during all vehicle services at our Geraldine location. Our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring that your tyres meet safety standards and are in optimal condition. Well-maintained tyres not only enhance your vehicle’s performance but also improve fuel efficiency, helping you save on fuel costs.
