Tyre Safety at Auto Super Shoppe Katikati

Tyre safety is crucial for every driver, and at Auto Super Shoppe Katikati, we prioritise it as part of our comprehensive vehicle servicing. Maintaining the correct tread depth and tyre pressure improves safety, fuel efficiency, and overall performance.

Tread Depth

Ensuring your tyres have sufficient tread depth is essential for maintaining grip on the road, especially during braking and cornering. The legal minimum tread depth in New Zealand is 1.5mm across three-quarters of the tread pattern around the entire tyre. If your tread falls below this, your vehicle may struggle with traction, particularly in wet or slippery conditions. Most tyres have built-in tread depth indicators to help monitor wear. If any section of your tyre is below 1.5mm, it’s time for a replacement.

Tyre Pressure

Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is just as important as tread depth. Under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption, cause poor handling, and lead to premature wear. Over-inflated tyres create uneven wear patterns and reduce road grip. Checking your tyre pressure regularly ensures a smoother, safer drive. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended pressure levels, which can be found in your owner’s manual or on the driver’s side door frame.
