How to find your tyre size
The size of the tyre is printed onto the side of the tyre. Tyres are sized with a series of numbers and letters, that can seem like a different language at times. It's really quite simple once you know what you're looking for.
Why do you need new tyres?
As tyres are made of rubber, over time they wear down while doing their hard job of gripping your car to the road. If your tyre tread gets low, you can be at risk of losing traction and sliding off the road, or bursting a tyre.
Fortunately, you can keep an eye on your tyres and replace them when they look worn out.
But don't worry, your WoF inspector will also be having a close look too!
How are tyres fitted?
A special tool is vital for changing tyres. Specialists usually use what is called a tyre changer for removing and mounting new tyres.
It is fitted with a mounting arm and a bead breaker, and without one of these, it is barely possible to change a tyre.
How much do new tyres cost?
It really depends on what type of wheels you have, and what you want to use your car for. A cheap road tyre for a small car can be less than
$100 per wheel, but for a high performance tyre, for a racing car or super car, you can be looking at well over $500 per tyre.
