If you feel as though you have to frequently top up a specific tyre with air, this is a strong indicator you may be dealing with a slow puncture.
This is usually felt during high speeds. shuddering or hear a noise, indicating reduced pressure in one of your tyres.
Anything from your suspension feeling different to changes in steering and cornering could indicate a slow puncture and should be checked by a professional.
It is important that the weight of the vehicle is evenly distributed across the entire width of each tyre. If a wheel is not correctly balanced, then one side of a wheel will carry more of the vehicles weight leading to the wheel rotating unevenly forcing a vibration to be felt throughout the car.
If one side appears slightly higher than the other, then the wheel is not balanced correctly. As the tyres rotate at speed , the uneven motion will cause the vibration to be felt and the tyre tread to wear out quickly.
An uneven rotation of the wheels can be felt through the steering wheel as a vibration. This can be problematic as it can impact your ability to steer in a particular direction if needed.
If a wheel is incorrectly balanced this will add excessive pressure to the wheel bearings causing a loud noise from the tyre when driving at high speeds. The driver may also notice the steering wheel feels loose, meaning less control of the vehicle for the driver.
How to find your tyre size
Width: This is the overall width of the tyre, represented by the first 3 digits on the sidewall of the tyre.
Profile: The next pair of numbers give the measurement for the height of the tyre as a percentage of the tyre width.
Rim: R stands for 'Radial', which means the tyre has a radial construction. The vast majority of modern tyres are made with a radial construction.
Diameter: The last 2 numbers show the size of the wheel rim on the vehicle.
The easiest way of finding your tyre size is by simply looking on the sidewall of the tyre. Tyre manufacturers always feature the tyre size on the sidewall of the tyre. You may also find your vehicle's tyre size in the handbook. It is important that you know how to read your tyre size as this is one of the first questions you will be asked when reaching out to us.
