Top 7 Tyre Maintenance Tips Every Saudi Driver Should Know

Extend Tyre Life & Drive Safer | Tirefaster

Your tyres go through a lot—burning asphalt in Riyadh summers, highway sand in Jeddah, or rough terrain outside Dammam. Taking care of your tyres isn’t optional—it’s essential.

At Tirefaster, we believe great tyres deserve proper care. Follow these easy tips to improve safety, extend tyre life, and get better mileage.

1️⃣ Check Tyre Pressure Monthly

The extreme heat in Saudi Arabia can cause tyre pressure to fluctuate.

• 🔧 Too low? It increases wear and fuel use.

• 🔧 Too high? It reduces grip and can lead to blowouts.

📏 Check your tyre pressure every month and before long drives. Use a reliable digital gauge or visit a Tirefaster service centre.

✅ Pro Tip: Always check pressure when tyres are cold, not after driving.

2️⃣ Rotate Your Tyres Every 10,000 KM

Tyres wear at different rates depending on their position on the car. Rotating them helps even out the wear, making them last longer.

🔄 Rotate tyres:

• Every 8,000 to 10,000 km

• Or during every second oil change

Tirefaster can handle this quickly during your regular check-up.

3️⃣ Check Wheel Alignment & Balancing

If your car pulls to one side or your steering vibrates, you may have alignment or balancing issues.

Bad alignment =
❌ Uneven tyre wear
❌ Less fuel efficiency
❌ Unsafe handling

We recommend checking alignment every 6 months or after hitting a pothole or curb.

4️⃣ Inspect Tread Depth Regularly

Tread depth affects braking, grip, and hydroplaning resistance.
🧪 Use a coin test or a tread gauge. Minimum depth should be 1.6 mm—but we recommend replacing tyres once it hits 2 mm.

📉 Shallow treads = dangerous in rain, sand, or off-road trips.

5️⃣ Don’t Ignore Cracks or Bulges

If you spot:

• ❌ Sidewall cracks

• ❌ Bubbles or bulges

• ❌ Exposed cords

🚨 Replace the tyre immediately. These signs can lead to sudden blowouts—especially dangerous in hot Saudi climates.

6️⃣ Avoid Overloading Your Vehicle

Every tyre has a load index—exceeding it stresses the tyre and shortens its life.

📦 Don’t carry more than your tyres are rated for. Check the tyre sidewall and vehicle manual for safe load capacity.

7️⃣ Store Spare Tyres Properly

Not using a tyre right now? Don’t just toss it in the garage.

🛑 Keep spare tyres:

• In a cool, dry place

• Away from direct sunlight and chemicals

• Covered, and off the ground if possible

At Tirefaster, we also offer professional tyre storage for fleet and seasonal vehicles.
