What tyres should I buy for my car?
When
considering tyres from your local mobile tyre service, Gold Coast
residents should consider the type of roads they mostly drive on. If
you mainly drive on suburban streets that are well maintained, any of
the tyres we have available will be more than suitable. At Lube
Mobile, we stock a variety of tyre brands including Bridgestone,
Firestone,
and Dayton.
With tyres,
it is best to keep matching brands on either the front or rear end.
This is because those tyres tend to work together and by having
different tread patterns, the tyres may act differently in various
road conditions. If you’re only getting one tyre replaced (usually
when you have a flat
tyre) try to
get the same brand, especially if they are on the front of the
vehicle.
When
choosing your tyres, it’s important to note that while cheaper
tyres do comply with Australian standards, they may wear faster than
other higher priced tyres. This is because the materials are usually
softer and therefore do not last as long. Try to find a happy medium
between cost and performance, this will tend to give you the best of
both worlds.
What is included in a mobile tyre
service?
At Lube
Mobile we are your mobile tyre service for Gold Coast and all
residents can expect a high-quality service. We’ll come to your
home or work and replace any tyres as required. After arriving we’ll
check the area and make sure we have enough room to change your tyres
safely. Then we’ll follow our service schedule, this includes:

inspection of all the tyres, including the spare

the area and return keys
All our
services will take around two (2) hours to complete, and we’ll
return your car as soon as we are finished. At this time, you’ll
have the opportunity to talk directly with the person that completed
the service and ask them any questions about your vehicle.
All our
tyre services come with our 12 months workmanship warranty. All tyres
that are replaced will come with a warranty from the manufacturer of
the brand installed. This will cover you in the case of any defects
in the tyre itself.
How long will tyres last?
All tyres,
no matter how expensive, will not last longer than ten years
regardless of use. This is because the materials used to make them
start to deteriorate and become unroadworthy. The date your tyres was
manufactured can be found on the tyre, however, usually, you will
wear through a tyre before that time. For most road used tyres on a
daily driven vehicle, you can expect to get anywhere from 2 years to
4 years’ worth of use (or around 30,000km - 50,000km).
It can be
difficult to give an exact timeframe on the longevity of tyres as
many factors contribute to how fast a tyre will wear. The most common
cause for a shortened life is poor wheel alignment and under-inflated
tyres. These can be avoided by having regular tyre services completed
by your local mobile tyre service in Gold Coast. At Lube Mobile, we
recommend having a wheel alignment every twelve months, and you
should be checking your tyre pressures at least once per month.
When you
check your tyre pressures you can give the tyres a quick inspection.
If they seem to be wearing more on the inner or outer side of the
tread you may be overdue for a wheel alignment. For the correct tyre
pressures, you can check the plate installed on the inside of your
driver’s door. If you notice that your car is regularly low on tyre
pressure, you may have a slow leak and it needs to be repaired.
