Start with the tyres that suit your car and driving. A good shop will talk you through brand and budget options, tread life and the difference between premium and value tyres, rather than just selling the most expensive set.
If your car pulls to one side, wears tyres unevenly, or you have hit a few potholes, a wheel alignment is worth it. Specialist alignment gear matters for lowered, performance and larger vehicles, so ask if that is your situation.
Look for clear pricing that includes fitting, balancing, valves and disposal, and ask about any alignment check or warranty. Many tyre shops also do WOFs and basic servicing, which can save you a separate trip.
Budget tyres often start around $90 to $130 each fitted, with mid-range and premium tyres higher depending on size and brand. Fitting, balancing, new valves and old-tyre disposal are usually included, so ask for an all-in price.
A good rule is to check your alignment every 10,000 km, when you fit new tyres, or any time the car pulls to one side or the steering wheel sits off-centre. Rough roads and potholes make alignments worth keeping on top of.
The legal minimum tread depth in New Zealand is 1.5 mm, but handling and wet grip drop off well before that. Cracking, uneven wear, vibration or frequent punctures are all signs it is time to replace.
No. Balancing corrects weight distribution so the wheel spins smoothly without vibration, while alignment sets the angles of the wheels so the car tracks straight and tyres wear evenly. Both are usually done when fitting new tyres.
Many Invercargill tyre and automotive centres also issue WOFs and do basic servicing, so you can often sort tyres and a warrant in one visit. Confirm when booking.
Not always, but tyres should be replaced in pairs across an axle at minimum, and matching all four is best for handling, especially on all-wheel-drive vehicles. A good shop will advise based on your car and remaining tread.
