When it comes to keeping your vehicle safe and compliant on the roads of Victoria, understanding the minimum legal requirements for tyres is crucial. Tyres play a significant role in ensuring that your car is safe to drive and during a Roadworthy Inspection, they are scrutinised to meet specific standards. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we are committed to helping you understand these requirements and provide services to ensure your tyres are in top condition.

In Victoria, a vehicle must undergo a Roadworthy Inspection to ensure it meets safety standards before it can be sold or re-registered. One of the key components of this inspection is the condition of the tyres. Here are the basic legal requirements:

Tread Depth: The minimum legal tread depth for tyres in Victoria is 1.5mm. Adequate tread depth is crucial for proper traction, especially in wet conditions, to prevent skidding and accidents.

Tyre Condition: Tyres should be free of any damage such as cuts, cracks, or bulges. Damaged tyres can lead to blowouts and significantly increase the risk of accidents.

Matching Tyres: Vehicles must have matching tyres on the same axle. This ensures even wear and balanced handling, providing a smoother and safer ride.

Proper Inflation: Tyres should be properly inflated according to the manufacturer's specifications. Incorrect tyre pressure can affect vehicle handling and fuel efficiency.

Having roadworthy tyres is not just about passing an inspection; it’s about ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. Tyres are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, affecting steering, braking, and overall stability. Worn or damaged tyres compromise these crucial functions and increase the likelihood of road mishaps.

At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we not only provide you with the best advice on keeping your tyres roadworthy but also offer a wide range of services to maintain their condition:

Brake Maintenance and service in Cranbourne West

Brake maintenance - Can you stop in time?

As the main role of tyres is to keep your car in contact with the road, they play a vital role in the safety and stopping power of your car.

Regular car servicing will keep your car in good condition and having the tyres checked at the same time can help you be aware of the condition of your tyres while alerting you of any potential problems. Your Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) mechanic can also let you know if your car would benefit from a wheel alignment or wheel balancing. They are relatively low cost solutions and can greatly improve your driving experience as well as overall vehicle safety.

Why get tyre and wheel services from Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne)?

Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) are independently owned and operated and known locally for our honest service, years of experience and knowledge. We have a range of tyres and specialist equipment to perform your new tyre fitting or wheel alignment and balance. All our work is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty.

While checking your tyres is something you can do yourself, as professionals Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) can check out the internal condition of your tyres as well as the entire outside surface and they are well aware of the correct methods of disassembly, repair and reassembly, along with any manufacturer or legal requirements involved.

Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) can also advise you if there are any problems with your tyres, your wheel alignment, tyre balance or other areas of your car affecting your tyres such as brakes or suspension which you should be aware of to protect you and your vehicle, including the tyres themselves.

Tyres eventually wear out over time, an unavoidable process which is quickened by hard braking and regular high speed driving as well as uneven road surfaces. Unless there are problems causing uneven tyre wear or bald spots or there is other significant damage, the depth of the tread on the tyre is usually the best indicator your tyres are due for replacement. Although the legal minimum tread depth varies, a good rule of thumb is when tread depth is approaching 1.6mm you should think about buying new tyres.

Tread on a tyre is very important as this is where you get the traction to both move the car forwards and also the friction required to stop safely and efficiently. Tread is also the method by which water is dissipated away from the tyre surface in a way which prevents aquaplaning and maintaining maximum grip and control. The less tread depth you have, the less control you will have in wet driving conditions.

Tyres generally last between six to ten years and the better you look after them the more chance there is that it will be the latter rather than the former.

Tyre pressure is not just important to ensure you get the best fuel economy from your vehicle. Incorrect tyre pressure is a common cause of tyre damage as pressure and wear is directed at areas of the tyre not designed to take it. Perhaps most importantly the pressure of your tyres can have a direct impact on the driveability, and therefore the safety, of the vehicle.

You should check your tyres yourself on a regular basis to ensure they are in good condition. Be on the lookout for bald or flat spots, tears and cuts in the surface of the tyre and any foreign objects likely to cause problems such as stones, nails and other road debris. You should also have a tyre professional give them a check on a regular basis as they have the knowledge and equipment to properly check the entire tyre and may spot issues you simply don't see.

Tyres will suffer from wear and tear at varying rates. The front and rear tyres for example will wear at different rates as front tyres generally carry more weight than rear ones, meaning faster heat build-up and therefore increased wear. The tyres on either side of your car will also tend to wear at different rates to those on the opposite side.

Having your tyres rotated regularly, every 8000 to 10,000 km for example, can help to ensure that all of your tyres wear at a similar rate and in the same places. Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) will be happy to undertake this task for you and inspect each tyre as they do it, letting you know of any issues that might present a problem or you should otherwise be aware of. We can undertake all types of tyre rotation for you including Cross rotation, straight rotation, 5 wheel rotation and four wheel drive rotation.

Will a regular wheel alignment or balance help look after tyres?

Regular wheel alignment helps to protect against premature or uneven tyre wear, increases the safety and handling of your vehicle and improves ride performance and fuel efficiency. Wheel balancing helps to minimise vibration through the wheels, thereby minimising premature or uneven tyre wear. Either wheel service (or both) will go a long way in helping to maximise the life of your tyres along with safety and handling benefits.

No matter how well you care for your tyres there will come a time when the only option for maintaining safety, comfort and fuel economy of your car is to have the tyres replaced, such as when they have reached the minimum tread depth.
