Tyre Safety Check

Free tyre safety check services help ensure your vehicle is safe, legal, and roadworthy on New Zealand roads. At Tyre General, we offer a free tyre safety check at all branches with no booking required, giving you peace of mind before every journey.

Regular tyre safety checks help ensure your tyres meet legal standards, improve grip in wet conditions, and reduce the risk of costly blowouts. According to NZ guidelines, tyres require a minimum tread depth of 1.5mm for safety and legal compliance. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) provides detailed guidance on tyre safety, including tread depth, pressure and condition standards.  you can read more on the official tyre safety page here – NZTA tyre standards.

Here’s what we’ll cover during your visit:

• Tread Depth: We’ll measure the depth of your tyre tread to ensure it meets safety standards and provides sufficient grip on the road surface, especially in adverse weather conditions.
• Tyre Pressure: Proper tyre inflation is essential for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. We’ll check your tyre pressure to ensure it’s at the recommended level for your vehicle.
• Wear Patterns: Uneven tyre wear can indicate alignment issues or other potential problems. We’ll examine your tyres for any signs of abnormal wear patterns and provide recommendations for corrective action if necessary.
• Condition Assessment: Our technicians will inspect your tyres for any visible damage, such as cuts, bulges, or punctures, that could compromise safety and performance.
