When Should You Replace Your Tyres? Tread, Age and the Law in Queensland
The legal limit, the number that actually matters, and the signs it is time, from the people who see worn rubber every day.
From the workshop
Straight, no-nonsense guides from the team that fits the rubber and turns the spanners. Tyre care, 4WD setups, alignment, servicing and getting ready for the long drive west.
We get the same questions across the counter every week. When are my tyres actually done? All terrain or mud terrain for the range? Will servicing here affect my warranty? So we started writing the answers down. Everything below is how we do it in the shed at 78 Carrington Road, written plainly and kept honest.

All terrain or mud terrain? How you actually use the truck decides it. A plain guide for Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.
Pulling to one side, a crooked wheel, tyres wearing on one edge. What alignment fixes, and what camber, toe and caster really mean.
Heat, load and long distances are hard on tyres. The ten-minute check we run before a big trip, plus the caravan numbers people forget.

You do not have to read a word of it. Ring the workshop or send a quick enquiry and we will give you the straight answer for your vehicle.
