Nitrogen

Inflating your tyres with Nitrogen has many benefits. As Nitrogen molecules are slightly larger than oxygen, they seep out of the tyre about 3 – 4 times slower than compressed air, resulting in slower tyre deflation and maintaining the correct tyre pressure for longer. This means you’ll enjoy the benefits of: Prolonged tyre life; Better fuel economy; Improved grip and handling on the road.

Wheel Rotation

Rotating your tyres regularly ensures that they wear evenly and it makes them last longer.The process involves removing each tyre on your vehicle and refitting them in a different position i.e. rotating them – front wheels to back, back to front, cross over etc. The direction and way in which your tyres should be rotated will depend on factors such as your daily driving conditions, driving style and the make of your vehicle.

Wheel Balancing

Wheel balancing ensures that there is proper and even weight distribution of your tyres and wheels, and that it is consistent throughout. Correct balancing is vitally important to performance, safety and prolonging the overall lifespan of your vehicle.

Also, take the opportunity to ensure your tyres are evenly inflated every time you fill up your vehicle.
