What you can do yourself and what needs to be done by a professional

Here are 4 tyre care tips that you should be aware of:

1. Regularly check your tyre pressure. Properly inflated tyres will improve your car's handling, fuel efficiency and overall performance.
2. Inspect your tyres for wear and tear. This includes checking the tread depth, any punctures, bulges or cracks on the surface of the tyre.
3. Rotate your tyres regularly. This will help distribute the wear evenly, extending the life of your tyres and improving your car's performance.
4. Always ensure that your tyres are aligned and balanced. This will ensure that your car's handling and steering are accurate and smooth.

Now, here are 3 things you can do yourself to maintain your tyres:

1. Regularly check your tyre pressure with a pressure gauge. It's a quick and easy way to ensure that your tyres are properly inflated.
2. Keep your tyres clean by regularly washing them with soap and water. This will prevent dirt and debris from causing damage to the tyre.
3. Avoid overloading your car beyond the recommended weight limit. This will put excessive pressure on your tyres and increase wear and tear.

Finally, here are 3 things that can only be done by a tyre specialist like SNJ Tyres and Mechanical:

1. Balancing and alignment of your tyres should only be done by a professional to ensure accuracy.
2. Installation of new tyres and repair of punctured tyres should only be done by a qualified technician.
3. Diagnosis and repair of complex issues such as sidewall damage and suspension issues require expertise and specialised tools.
