Far from just selling tyres, at Mobile Tyre shop we’re here to help you for the long run.... One of the best thing’s you can do is pay attention to your tyres, something many of us forget. This means paying attention to pressures, alignment and balancing. Doing so, you can gain thousands of extra kms out of each tyre, lowering costs and increasing safety.

Balancing is one of the easiest ways to save. Wheels that aren't balanced cause vibrations that can compromise your tyres, suspension and steering. Wheel balancing is included in all of our standard tyre services, as it is essential when any new tyres are fitted to ensure they rotate freely. For more information on balancing wheels click here.

Watching your tyre pressure is another way to ensure you’re taking care of your tyres. The correct pressure for your tyres is actually found on a placard found within the frame of the driver’s side door. This tyre pressure, not the one stated on the tyre itself, is what your car was designed to run with.


And finally, to avoid uneven wear, it is recommended to rotate your tyres once a year or every 10 thousand Kms. This remains one of the most cost-effective and safe measures to increase the life of your tyres. We offer tyre rotation as a separate service for just $99. If you want to give your current tyres the longest life possible, click here for more information.

No worries if you can’t assess the above yourself! With the latest digital tyre scanning technology, Mobile Tyre Shop’s tyre technicians can assess the safety of tyres on anything from a family car to a fleet of vehicles in no time. Our team are fully qualified and can perform safety inspections at home, at work, anywhere. Click here for more information on tyre inspections.
