- Check each new tyre to make sure everything is in order for your vehicle.
- Mount each tyre to its rim, and inflate it to the correct air pressure.

- Balance the wheel by affixing wheel balancing weights to the rim.

We hope you enjoy your new driving experience. Be sure to pop into TyreZim the next time you need new tyres, and if anyone you know could use our services, you can tell them where to go!
Tyre Rotation
Rotate your tyres to beat wear and tear
Tyre wear and tear is natural part of driving, unfortunately. Since most cars are front-engine cars, the front axle bears more weight than the rear axle. This means your front tyres wear quicker than your back tyres.
There are also other causes of uneven wear, like:
- Turning left. Most interchanges and parking ramps require you to turn left. Left turns are tighter than right turns, causing your right front tyre to wear out faster than the left.
- Sidewall damage. The sidewalls on your left tyres are more likely to get bumped and rubbed against the pavement when parking your car. This can cause asymmetric sidewall wear.
- Braking. Heavy, sudden and frequent braking can add stress to your front tyres.
What can you do about it?
Rotating your tyres will help ensure even tread wear, allowing them to last longer. Rotation entails swopping the back and front tyres around first, and then swopping the left and right front tyres.
Depending on the type of car you drive, we typically recommend you do this every 10,000 km.
Wheel Balancing
Balance your wheels
Despite advanced rubber compounds and manufacturing processes, even new tyres need to be balanced sometimes. And regardless of how well or how little you drive, tyres do eventually wear down over time. It is unlikely that they’ll wear down evenly, and this can cause:
- Changes in the mass of rubber on your tyres.
- A weight imbalance.
- The steering wheel to shimmy and shake.
What can you do about it?
Get the best out of your tyres by making sure that they are all properly balanced. During wheel balancing, one of our technicians will:
- Mount each tyre to its rim, and inflate it to the correct air pressure.
- Fit a new valve stem.
- Using a special machine, find the imbalance and determine its severity.
- Balance the wheel by affixing wheel balancing weights to the rim.
- Spin the wheel on the machine again to make sure it is correctly balanced.
Wheel balancing, wheel alignment, and tyre rotation should be done every 10,000kms or once per annum.
