New Zealand tyres need at least 1.5 millimetres of tread to pass a Warrant of Fitness, but grip in the wet fades well before that line, which is why many drivers replace earlier. Around Tasman, gravel side roads between orchards and the coast are hard on rubber, so checking pressures monthly — cold, before driving — and keeping the spare inflated pays off. When buying, matched pairs across an axle keep the handling even, and a wheel balance with new fits saves a shuddering steering wheel later. An alignment check is also worth it after any hard hit in a pothole.
For Motueka drivers, from town runabouts to utes heading up the valley, Supercheap Auto Nelson keeps tyre work close to home.
