There’s a lot of misinformation about tyres, which can lead to costly mistakes. Here, we debunk five common tyre myths:
- Myth: All tyres are the same.
Truth: Tyres vary by brand, quality, and design. Premium tyres often last longer and perform better. - Myth: You only need to replace tyres when the tread wears out.
Truth: Even if the tread looks fine, tyres degrade over time. Most experts recommend replacing them every 6 years. - Myth: Budget tyres are just as good as premium tyres.
Truth: While budget tyres save money upfront, they may not offer the same performance, safety, or longevity as premium brands. - Myth: You can repair any puncture.
Truth: Some punctures, especially those near the sidewall, require a tyre replacement. - Myth: Tyre pressure doesn’t affect performance.
Truth: Incorrect tyre pressure leads to poor handling, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased wear.
