Choosing the correct tyre.

There is no single best tyre — the right choice depends on your vehicle, how and where you drive, and what matters most to you. Check your vehicle handbook, driver-door label or the sidewall of your current tyre for the correct size and load rating. Our team confirms the right fitment for your car, SUV or ute.

  • Match tyre size and load rating to your vehicle
  • Consider wet-weather grip and stopping distance
  • Balance comfort, road noise and tread life
  • Get expert help if you're not sure what suits

Tyre pressure

Checking tyre pressure.

Correct pressure keeps your tyres wearing evenly, your car handling predictably and your fuel use lower. Check pressures when the tyres are cold, at least monthly and always before a long trip. If you're losing pressure quickly, bring the vehicle in for a puncture check.

  • Check pressures cold, at least once a month
  • Always check before a long journey
  • Include the spare in your regular check
  • Investigate any repeated pressure loss

Recommended pressure

Finding the correct tyre pressure.

Your vehicle manufacturer sets the recommended tyre pressure for the front and rear axles. It's usually shown on the driver-door placard, inside the fuel-filler flap or in the owner's handbook. Load and towing may change the recommended pressure, so read the placard carefully.

  • Look for the driver-door placard first
  • Check the fuel-filler flap and handbook
  • Adjust for heavy loads or towing
  • When in doubt, ask our team to confirm
