"If ever there was a reason to make the time and find the budget for tyre maintenance, then it's discovering the real cost of not maintaining your tyres," said Group Marketing Executive, Joe du Plooy. "Tyre maintenance comes down to one primary goal - protecting the life of the tread. Make no mistake, tyres will wear out, but the goal is to ensure that the tread wears out evenly, allowing you to get the maximum life from your tyres."
Here are some simple maintenance must-dos from Tiger Wheel & Tyre:
"Of these maintenance must-dos, inflation is by far the most important and simplest to keep up with," added du Plooy. "But while you can easily do that yourself, you should trust the rest to the professionals. Even something as simple sounding as rotation can be complex when you have to account for directional tyres or staggered wheel fitment - where your rear wheels are larger than the front."
The good news in all of this is that tyre maintenance is by no means a budget-buster and by conscientiously extending the lifespan of your tyres, you can save money in the long run.
