Tyre Safety at Auto Super Shoppe Oamaru: Keep Your Vehicle Safe on the Road

At Auto Super Shoppe Oamaru, we understand that tyre safety is crucial for every driver. That's why we prioritise tyre safety as part of our comprehensive services. Ensuring the correct tread depth and tyre pressure can significantly improve your vehicle's safety, performance, and overall driving experience.

Tread Depth and Its Importance

Proper tread depth is essential for maintaining effective grip, especially when braking or cornering. At Auto Super Shoppe Oamaru, we remind drivers that the legal minimum tread depth is 1.5mm across three-quarters of the tyre’s surface. This standard ensures your tyres maintain optimal traction, particularly in wet or slippery conditions. Many tyres are equipped with 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 to ensure your safety on the road.

Tyre Pressure for Optimal Performance

Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is another critical element of tyre safety. Under-inflated tyres can lead to increased fuel consumption, poor handling, and reduced safety, while over-inflated tyres can cause uneven wear and decrease overall tyre lifespan. At Auto Super Shoppe Oamaru, we recommend regularly checking your tyre pressure to ensure your vehicle operates at its best—improving fuel efficiency and handling.
