Auto Super Shoppe Wanaka

Tyre safety is crucial for every driver, and at Auto Super Shoppe Wanaka, we prioritise it in our services. Understanding the importance of tread depth and tyre pressure can significantly enhance your vehicle's performance and safety on the road.

Tread Depth

Proper tread depth is vital for ensuring your vehicle maintains effective grip during braking and cornering. At Auto Super Shoppe Wanaka, we highlight 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 equipped with tread depth indicators, which can help you monitor wear. If any part of your tyre shows less than 1.5mm of tread, it’s crucial to replace it promptly.

Tyre Pressure

Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is another key factor in tyre safety. Under-inflated tyres can lead to increased fuel consumption and poor handling, while over-inflated tyres can cause uneven wear and compromise safety. At Auto Super Shoppe Wanaka, we recommend regularly checking your tyre pressure to ensure your vehicle operates efficiently and safely.

Regular Inspections

Tyres are routinely checked during all vehicle services at our Wanaka location. Our expert 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.

Wheel Alignment‍

Another essential service we provide is wheel alignment. Proper alignment is crucial for your vehicle’s handling and the longevity of your tyres. Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tyre wear and negatively impact driving performance. At Auto Super Shoppe Wanaka, we utilise advanced laser technology to align all four wheels, ensuring they are parallel to each other. This technology creates a sensor zone around your vehicle, accurately detecting any steering or suspension issues that may affect your driving experience. Prioritising tyre safety through proper tread depth, tyre pressure, and regular wheel alignments is essential for a safe driving experience. At Auto Super Shoppe Wanaka, our commitment to quality service ensures that your tyres are in excellent condition, providing you with a safer and more efficient drive.
