2. CC TYRES PENRITH • CC Tyres in Penrith is an independent and locally-operated tyre retailer that has been serving Penrith and the greater western Sydney region for over 60 years. • With a huge range of tyres, wheels and vehicle services on offer, they provide tyre repair and fitment for all makes and models of passenger car, 4WDs and trucks, as well as heavy equipment and small pnuematic tyres. • They are also specialists in wheel alignment for vehicles up to three tonnes. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

3. Inspect tyres regularly, paying attention to: • Objects embedded in the tread • Remove all stones and other objects embedded in the tyre tread before driving. • Tread wear • Ensure tyres have adequate tread depth. • If your tyres are worn to the tread-wear indicators they must be replaced. • Tyre wear indicators are positioned at equal distances around the tyre and may be located by the symbol TWI in the very upper part of the sidewall in the shoulder area where that meets the start of the tread pattern. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

4. Sidewall condition • If there are bulges and cuts, then first we will examine the tyre, because the damage may be more serious than it appears. • Note: Tyres showing wear on one side, or showing feathered edges to the tread pattern, are often indicative of mechanical maladjustment. • The vehicle's steering, or suspension geometry may need to be checked, and the wheels aligned. • WARNING! All punctured or damaged tyres must be removed from the wheel for internal and external examination to ensure there is no hidden secondary damage which may later cause tyre failure. Puncture repairs must meet Australian standards. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

5. Repairs To Run Flat Tyres • Run flat tyres are designed to have a "get you home capability" and depending on the particular tyre brand, can be operated up to a distance of 100km, provided the maximum speed of the vehicle does not exceed 80km/hr. • When punctured and operated in a deflated state, the tyre condition will have to be carefully assessed to evaluate the suitability and integrity of the tyre’s casing prior to carrying out any repair. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

6. Tyre Performance and Wear • Throughout the life of a tyre, its performance gradually decreases, compromising your safety particularly when driving in the wet. • In these conditions, the tyres ability to provide adequate grip when accelerating, cornering and braking reduces to unacceptable levels at the minimum tread depth of 1.6mm. • For these reasons, most manufacturers recommend replacing worn tyres at a minimum tread depth of 3mm. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

7. Repairs to Self Sealing Tyres • Repairs to Seal Inside Tyres may be made in accordance to the Australian Tyre Standard. • Following a penetration, during the repair procedure it will be necessary to remove the internal sealant in the area of the penetration equal to the size of the repair patch to expose the impermeable butyl liner. • The removal of the sealant will mean that the patched area will lose its special technical characteristics of a Seal Inside tyre. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au

8. Standard Repairs • Punctured tyres to be repaired, must always be removed from the wheel for inspection. • Any penetration causing a hole in the tread area not exceeding 6mm diameter may be repaired. • If the penetration is greater than 6mm or is localized either in the sidewall, shoulder or bead area of the tyre then it is unrepairable and must be replaced to ensure that your safety is not compromised. www.cctyrespenrith.com.au
