  1. MAKING THE RIGHT TYRE CHOICE CCTYRESPENRITH

  2. Selecting the right tyres for your needs and budget can be an overwhelming choice for many car owners. But if you follow these seven basic tips, your tyre choice will become far simpler. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

  3. TIP 1: FIND OUT IF YOU NEED NEW TYRES • Driving with worn tyres can be dangerous for you, your passengers and other road users. The following are guides for the minimum tyre tread depth required in different environments. • Tyres are considered to be unroadworthy below 1.6 mm tread depth. • In wet conditions 3mm or less tread means a significant loss of wet traction due to shallower grooves and channels. • In snow conditions, traction noticeably diminishes at 4.75mm. Shallower lug and groove depths limit a tyresability to “bite” into the snow and clean out snow compressed in the tread. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

  4. TIP 2: DETERMINE HOW MANY TYRES YOU NEED • Make sure you’re checking your tyre wear so you can judge whether to replace them all at once or in pairs. If you make the choice to replace your tyres in pairs, it may also be worth performing a tyre rotation at the same time to avoid alignment problems. • If you’re putting two new tyres on, it’s best to fit them to the rear so that you drive to the condition of your tyres. Of course, if the car is rear-wheel drive, this suggestion is reversed – you should instead fit them on the front. • If you’d like assistance with tyre fitting, visit your local car tyre retailer, CC TyresPenrith. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

  5. TIP 3: DETERMINE THE TYRE SIZE • Most people replace their old tyres with the same size that was on the vehicle when it was first released. This is typically a valid choice, but if you’re uncertain you can always check your owner’s manual, tyre placard (check your door or glovebox) or the tyre itself for more details. • If you’re still not sure of your tyre size, You can view the tyre, learn key features about performance, weather conditions and make an enquiry straight away. Moreover, you can visit at our location for further assistance. • You can also change your ride and performance by changing tyre size. Get in touch and our friendly team can tell you if there’s another size available for your car, as well as what changes to performance you can expect. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

  6. TIP 4: ANALYSE YOUR DRIVING HABITS • CC TyresPenrith can help you make the best choice for your tyres based on the conditions in your city or town (or state/region, should you drive long distances. • If you’re keen to make the choice yourself, the aspects you should consider include: • Do you drive on dry roads most of the year, mixed wet and dry, or mostly wet? • What seasonal extremes do you face? If you drive an RV or 4WD, chances are you’ll be considering an all-purpose built tyre to match your driving needs. These designs have trade-offs, including traction highway ride quality and, fairly recently, performance. In terms of traction, designs range from HT (highway tread) to AP (all-purpose) to AT (all-terrain) to MT (mud terrain) in order of aggressive tread design. As the tread design becomes more aggressive, your highway ride quality diminishes. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

  7. TIP 5: BUY THE BEST QUALITY YOU CAN AFFORD • There are a few ways to calculate the longevity and value of your tyres, getting you the best ROI. These include: • Calculate the total price for your tyre purchase and divide that by the kilometers of service. This will give you the cost per kilometer. You’ll quickly see that the better tyres are better value after all. • When comparing tyres within one brand, use the UTQG ratings (tread wear) to calculate value. Divide the tread wear rating by the price – the highest number should be your pick if you want the best value by wear. This system won’t help you compare between brands, however, because there is no standardization for tread wear ratings. • If you do want to compare between brands, reviewing traction and temperature ratings are the best way to make your choice, as these measurements are standardized. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

  8. TIP 6: CONSIDER PERFORMANCE AND SPEED RATINGS • You should always buy a tyre with the appropriate speed rating for your vehicle. If you don’t, be aware that you’re limiting your vehicle’s performance in terms of handling and speed capacity. • Generally speaking, a tyre’s handling response is commensurate with its speed rating. • If you use a lower speed rated tyre than the original design you will likely compromise your handling, speed and safety. • Conversely, you can improve your car’s handling by choosing a higher speed rated tyre. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

  9. TIP 7: CONSIDER TYRE TYPE • Each year, more and more car and light truck/4WD/SUV designs are introduced. As a result, tyre manufacturers are responding with specialized tyre designs. You can now choose tyres based on personal style preferences as well as performance for these vehicles. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au
