Tyres for Every Vehicle in the Southern Forests
From a Corolla on the highway to a tractor in a wet paddock, we fit tyres to it. Leading brands, four vehicle categories, and staff who will tell you when the cheaper tyre is the right call.
OVERVIEW
The Right Tyre Is the One That Suits How You Drive
A tyre is the only part of your vehicle that touches the road, and it is doing four jobs at once: carrying the weight, transmitting drive, transmitting braking, and absorbing bumps. Get it wrong and every one of those jobs is compromised.
Reading Your Tyre Size
Everything we need is printed on the sidewall. A typical size reads 265/65R17 112S:
| 265 | Section width in millimetres — how wide the tyre is across the tread. |
|---|---|
| 65 | Aspect ratio — sidewall height as a percentage of the width. Lower number means a shorter, stiffer sidewall. |
| R | Radial construction. Almost all modern tyres are radial. |
| 17 | Rim diameter in inches — the wheel it fits. |
| 112 | Load index — the maximum weight the tyre can carry. Critical if you tow or carry a load. |
| S | Speed rating — the maximum speed the tyre is certified for. |
Send us a photo of that sidewall and we can quote from it. If you're changing size, we'll check it against the tyre placard on your door jamb so you stay legal and your speedo stays honest.

Common Tyre Questions
Do I have to replace all four tyres at once?
Not always, but tyres should always be replaced in pairs across the same axle so grip is balanced left to right. On a 4WD, especially a constant four-wheel-drive vehicle, replacing all four is often necessary to keep rolling diameters matched and avoid driveline strain. We will tell you which applies to your vehicle.
Should new tyres go on the front or the back?
On the front. When you brake heavily, the weight of the vehicle shifts forward, so that is where you want your best tread doing the work. The front tyres also do all the steering, and they are the ones resisting aquaplaning in the wet. It is the approach Michelin recommends and the one we have always followed.
How long do tyres last?
Tread life varies hugely, 30,000 km to 80,000 km depending on the tyre, the vehicle, the roads and how it is driven. Gravel, heavy loads and hard cornering all shorten it. Age matters too: rubber hardens over time, and a tyre older than about ten years should be replaced regardless of tread depth.
What is the legal minimum tread depth in WA?
1.5mm across the tread. That is the legal minimum, not a target wet-weather braking and aquaplaning resistance drop off well before you get there. We recommend planning a replacement around 3mm.
