Posted: September 09, 2025Categories: GeneralWhen it comes to road safety, most drivers think about seatbelts, airbags, and brakes. While these are all critical, there’s one component that often gets overlooked which is tyres. They are the only part of your vehicle that actually touches the road, making them one of the most important factors in how safely your car performs. Let’s take a closer look at why tyres are so crucial to road safety and how taking care of them can protect you and your passengers. Tyres: the foundation of vehicle safety Your tyres are responsible for translating every steering input, brake pressure, and acceleration into real movement on the road. No matter how advanced your car’s safety features are, they are only as effective as the condition of your tyres. Poor tyre maintenance can lead to dangerous situations like skidding, loss of control or even blowouts all of which increase the risk of accidents. -
Posted: September 09, 2025Categories: GeneralWhen it comes to vehicle safety and performance, tyres play one of the most crucial roles. While most of us are used to filling our tyres with regular air, nitrogen tyre filling has become increasingly popular among drivers. But what exactly is nitrogen filling, and why are more people choosing it? Let’s break it down. What is nitrogen tyre filling? Nitrogen tyre filling is the process of inflating tyres with pure nitrogen gas instead of regular compressed air. Since normal air already contains about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and small amounts of water vapour and other gases, filling with nearly pure nitrogen simply removes the extra oxygen and moisture. This small change makes a big difference in tyre performance and longevity. Safety benefits of nitrogen filling -
Posted: September 09, 2025Categories: GeneralHave you ever felt a strange vibration in your steering wheel or noticed uneven tyre wear? These are often signs that your wheels are out of balance. While it may seem like a minor issue, wheel balancing is a crucial part of vehicle maintenance that directly affects your safety, comfort, and even fuel efficiency. But what exactly is wheel balancing, and why does it matter so much? Let’s explore the science behind it. What is wheel balancing? Every tyre and wheel assembly has tiny imperfections in weight distribution. Even a few grams of imbalance can cause the wheel to rotate unevenly at high speeds. Wheel balancing is the process of correcting this imbalance by attaching small weights to the rim, ensuring the wheel rotates smoothly around its axis. The goal is simple to make sure the weight is evenly distributed s -

- When the tyres are worn out until TWI (Tread Wear Indicator) which is set at 1.6 mm tread depth. TWI will be visible in the tread groves as a raised platform (image to be attached)
- When you have visible cracks, damages and irregular wear on the tyre (recommend to visually inspect your tyres on a daily basis)

- Width (Millimeters) - This is the section width of your Tyre, in millimeters, measured from sidewall to sidewall.
- Aspect Ratio (height/width) - This is the ratio of the height of the tyre sidewall, expressed as a percentage of width. An aspect ratio of 60, for example, indicates that the tyre's sidewall height is 60% of its width.
- Radial (construction) - This tells you that the tyre is a radial construction. Almost every new tyre built today is a radial tyre.
- Diameter (inches) - This is the diameter in inches of the rim of the wheel that the tyre has been designed to fit on.
- Load Rating - This is the load index of a tyre, also called load rating, and corresponds to the maximum weight the tyre is designed to carry. It can be found on the tyre sidewall, next to the

01. Do a Daily Visual Check- Check that all tyres have about the same inflation pressure.
- Check the sidewalls for cracks or unusual bulges.
- Check for and remove any foreign objects (e.g. stones or nails) that could puncture you tyres.
- Use a proper tyre guage to measure tyre pressure.
- Check pressure and inflate only when the tyres are cold. (a hot tyre will show inaccurate reading due to inflation)
- It takes as long as 4 hours for a tyre to cool down so it’s best to check tyre pressure first thing in the morning.
- Your vehicle tyre pressure chart can usually be found on the driver’s door frame or in your owner’s handbook.
- Don’t forget to also inflate your spare tyre.

Posted: May 16, 2022Categories: TyresEach tire on your cars support a different amount of weight, this unequal weight distribution causes our tires to wear at different rates. By rotating your tires, you can extend their useful life.
- Rotation preserves the balanced handling and traction of the tyres.
- Rotation will even out tyre wear.
- Rotation can provide performance advantages, like wet handling, braking etc.
What is the ideal frequency of tyre rotation? Pattern of rotations.
Rotation is recommended every 10000kms or even earlier at 5000kms depending on vehicle one is driving.
For Rear and Four Wheel Drive VehiclesUse -
Posted: May 05, 2022Categories: TyresWheel balancing can be defined as, the uniform distribution of mass about an axis of rotation, where the center of gravity is in the same location as the center of rotation. In other words, a balanced tire is when the mass of the tire, is uniformly distributed around the axle, or no heavy spots in the tire.
Why do my tires need balancing?
As we all drive our cars on beautiful roads of UAE sometimes we feel the vehicle body or the steer Wheel Vibrate and shake at certain speeds and all is well as the speed differs, the first line of defense is to balance the tire and wheel assembly.
Improper tire wheel balance may cause:
- Premature worn tires
- Damage to suspension & steering parts
- Unsafe steering, handling & traction
- Reduction in braking effectiveness
- Reduction in ride comfort and
- Reduction in fuel economy
