In charge of the family vehicle this holiday? Use this tyre information to protect your family
With your accommodation, bucket list and route planned, the next step before embarking on your festive road trip this year, is to assess if you have the correct tyres fitted to your vehicle for the application, activity and terrain you’re about to tackle. This is a necessary step to help protect you and your family while you are out on the roads exploring our beautiful country.
Choosing the right tyre profile
As tyres are critical components of a vehicle, choosing the correct tyre profile (or aspect ratio) impacts steering stability and the right choice will ensure safety, performance, and longevity on the road, and plays a key role in how your vehicle will react and respond while driving. This will also ensure that you always get the maximum traction from your tyres.
Here are the factors to consider when selecting the appropriate tyre profile for your vehicle:
Once you have the right tyre profile fitted, ensure you conduct proper tyre maintenance. Regular inspections, and tyre rotations are essential for maximising the life and performance of your chosen tyres. As part of routine maintenance, rotate your tyres every eight to ten thousand kilometres, have the balancing and wheel alignment checked as this will ensure you get the maximum tread life out of your tyres.
Win win win
With a wide geographical canvas, South African drivers are spoilt for choice choosing the city landscapes or opting to escape the city to the great outdoors – either way, the right tyre profile will make your journey a great one.
