Can tyres affect fuel consumption? They sure can. Fuel efficiency is a priority for most motorists in the face of rising fuel costs. With advanced technology, tyre manufactures are designing more and more tyres that target fuel consumption. Purchasing the right tyres can save you a lot of money over time at the pump. Fuel Consumption Factors Rolling Resistance Correct Wheel Alignment and Balance Uneven Tread Wear Smooth Driving Excess Vehicle Load Tyre Pressure Age Tyre Size and Weight Tread Pattern Fuel Efficient Tyres or Eco-Friendly Tyres Tyres can have a huge impact of how much individual motorists spend on fuel. Tyres marked fuel efficient or eco-friendly have been engineered to consume less petrol with lower rolling resistance. When looking to purchase your next set of tyres this should be a non-negotiable. Unique designs and innovative tread patterns target formatted tread compounds to enhance grip while lessening drag and friction. Often, tyres are designed more streamline to lessen drag and firmer to retain their shape for as long as possible. Tyres can account for up to 20% of your fuel consumption. Rolling Resistance Rolling resistance speaks to the friction between the road and your tyre. A high level of rolling resistance means your vehicle is working hard to get from A to B. An increase in engine power to keep you moving forward means an increase in fuel. Hence why all motorists should consider a tyre offering low rolling resistance to ultimately use less petrol and produce fewer carbon emissions. Tyre Pressure Tyre pressure influences fuel economy. Under inflated tyres show in increase in fuel consumption due to rolling resistance. By increasing your vehicles drag, your vehicle is working harder to move forward, thus increasing fuel consumption. 4WD Tyres 4X4 vehicles are notorious for chewing through a full tank of petrol before you can even blink. A large contributor of this is all-terrain and mud-terrain tyres. Unlike highway-terrain tyres, off-road tyres are generally larger, heavier and prioritise performance. Depending on your off-road driving requirements you may have to compromise on fuel economy for your aggressive tread. Generally the more aggressive your tyre is, the more fuel your vehicle will consume. However, there are many 4WD tyres that offer fuel efficiency on the market. Tyre Age and Uneven Tread As a tyre ages, its tread is often worn out. Worn out and uneven tread means that your car needs to work even harder, requiring more engine power. There are a number of other factors that can contribute to premature or uneven tread wear including load, tyre pressure, driving style and wheel alignment.

When do tyres need changing? Learn when to replace your tyres with Bud’s Tyres. There are a number of different safety issues that may be blatantly clear or may need investigating by your tyre technician that will lead to replacing your tyres. Motorists can generally live by the 3 – 5 year rule paired with regular tyre servicing. Factors that can contribute towards tyre wear can be anything from age to care and maintenance. While we can update you on the expected lifespan of your tyres during your next wheel alignment or tyre maintenance service, you can also come in for a free tyre safety check at any point. Tyre Wear Guide Tyre maintenance is crucial to not only the lifespan of our tyres but our safety too. Our lives depend on them. Ask yourself these questions: Have I checked my tread depth recently? Have I regularly booked my car in for a tyre rotation? Is there a nail in my tyre or any foreign material? Have I checked my inflation pressure recently? Is my driving style erratic or is my car exposed to poor driving conditions? Are any of my 4 tyres uneven or have any sidewall damage? How old are my tyres? Have I maintained my tyres to date? Do I feel safe driving on these tyres? Do I ever drive at high speeds or overload my vehicle? Safety Worn tyres are extremely unsafe not to mention one of the first things insurance will look at when inspecting a crash. Replace your tyres before it is too late and you receive a pretty hefty fine. If you have a feeling that your tyres probably need changing. You are probably right. Knowing exactly when you should replace your tyres is difficult which is why it is often neglected. Tyre replacement is completely individual to the motorist. The best thing you to do is regularly check your tread depth and inflation pressure, regularly inspect your tyres for damage and uneven tread wear and keep up with tyre maintenance. The good news is tyre maintenance is very cheap and saves you replacing your tyres prematurely. Check out our tyre maintenance price guide here. Replacing 1 Car Tyre Tyres should be replaced in complete sets, including the spare. At Bud’s Tyres we recommend that all tyres be replaced at the same time. Most vehicle manufactures will also recommend this. If you have neglected your regular tyre rotation and associated maintenance you may have two very worn tyres and two near new tyres. Furthermore, if your brand new tyre is punctured you may only require one tyre to be replaced. However, by not replacing a full set it will promote irregular tread wear and affect your driving performance. Always speak to a tyre technician first and follow the manufactures specifications.

Wheel alignment is one of the most important aspects of vehicle maintenance that often gets overlooked by many car owners. When your car’s wheels are properly aligned, it leads to improved handling, better fuel efficiency, and longer tyre life. However, when your car’s wheels are out of alignment, it can lead to a host of problems, including uneven tyre wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and poor handling. In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about wheel alignments, including what they are, how to tell if your wheels are out of alignment, and the different types of wheel alignments available. What is a Wheel Alignment? Wheel alignment is essentially the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. This is done to ensure that your car drives straight and true, without pulling to one side or the other. The three primary angles that are adjusted during a wheel alignment include camber, caster, and toe. Camber Camber is the angle of the wheel when viewed from the front of the vehicle. If the top of the wheel leans outward, it is said to have positive camber. If the top of the wheel leans inward, it is said to have negative camber. Proper camber settings are essential for even tire wear and optimal handling. Caster Caster, on the other hand, is the angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle. Positive caster refers to the steering axis tilting towards the driver, while negative caster refers to the steering axis tilting towards the front of the vehicle. Caster settings impact steering stability and are particularly important for high-speed driving. Toe Finally, toe is the angle of the tyres when viewed from above. Toe refers to whether the wheels are pointing inward, towards each other (toe-in), or outward, away from each other (toe-out). Proper toe settings are essential for uniform tyre wear and optimal handling. How to Tell if Your Wheels are Out of Alignment There are several signs that your wheels may be out of alignment, including: – Your car pulls to one side when you drive– The steering wheel is off-center when driving on a straight road– Tyres show uneven wear patterns– You feel increased vibration in the steering wheel or through the car– You notice your car drifts or feels unstable at high speeds If you notice any of these signs, it is essential to get your wheels aligned as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your vehicle. Types of Wheel Alignments There are two primary types of wheel alignments- front-end and four-wheel. Front-end alignment adjusts only the front wheels, which includes the camber, caster, and toe angles. This type of alignment is suitable for cars with a solid rear axle since the rear wheels cannot be adjusted. Front-end alignments are typically less expensive than four-wheel alignments since they require less time and effort. Four-wheel alignment, also known as all-wheel alignment, adjusts all four wheels – including the front and rear ones. Four-wheel alignments are necessary for vehicles with independent suspension systems or those with adjustable suspension components. During a four-wheel alignment, technicians adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles on all four wheels, ensuring optimal handling and tyre wear. In conclusion, wheel alignment is an essential aspect of vehicle maintenance that should not be ignored. Timely alignment of your car wheels can save you money and keep you safe while driving. It is essential to understand what wheel alignment is, how to tell if your wheels are out of alignment, and the different types of wheel alignments available. By being proactive about alignment, you can extend the life of your tyres, improve your car’s handling, and increase your safety on the road.
