How to Care for Your Toyota’s Tyres
Your tyres play a vital role in keeping your Toyota safe, fuel-efficient, and performing at its best.
Check your tyre pressure regularly
Under or over-inflated tyres can reduce grip, increase wear, and impact fuel economy. Check your tyre pressure monthly and before long trips. Refer to your Toyota’s owner manual or the sticker inside the driver’s door for the correct pressure. Don't worry we'll check this in your next service!
Rotate your tyres
Tyres wear differently depending on their position on the vehicle. Rotating them every 10,000 km (or as recommended in your service schedule) helps them wear evenly and last longer. Tyre rotating is included in your standard service at Kalamunda Toyota
Inspect your tread
Tread depth impacts braking and traction. The legal minimum in WA is 1.5mm, but we recommend replacing them sooner for optimal safety. Our service team can do a quick tread check during your next visit.
Balance and align your wheels
Misaligned wheels can cause uneven wear and handling issues. If your steering pulls to one side or your tyres look worn on the edges, book a wheel alignment at Kalamunda Toyota.
Avoid potholes and rough edges
Hitting curbs or potholes can damage your tyre sidewalls and knock out alignment. Take care when parking or driving on rough roads, especially around the hills.
Book regular inspections
When you bring your Toyota to Kalamunda Toyota for servicing, we’ll inspect your tyres as part of your maintenance—helping you stay ahead of wear and tear.

How Can I Tell If I Need New Tyres?
Here’s how you can tell if your Toyota might need new tyres:
Tread Depth
Check the tread wear indicators (small bars in the tyre grooves). If the tread is flush with these bars, it’s time for replacements. In Australia, the legal tread depth limit is 1.5mm, but Toyota recommends replacing tyres at 3mm for safety.
Uneven Wear
If your tyres are wearing more on one side than the other, or have bald spots, this could indicate a need for alignment, rotation, or replacement.
Cracks, Bulges or Damage
Visible cracks in the sidewall, bulges, or cuts mean the tyre structure is compromised and it’s unsafe to drive.
Age
Even if the tread looks fine, tyres degrade over time. Most manufacturers, including Toyota, recommend replacing tyres every 5 to 6 years, regardless of wear.
Vibration
If your Toyota vibrates while driving, especially at higher speeds, it could be a sign of tyre issues, alignment problems, or internal tyre damage.
