4WD Beach Rules and Safety We are a large stockist of a number of 4WD tyre brands. It just makes sense that a large number of our customer base are 4WD tyres enthusiasts. We are big fans off all things off-road so here are some 4WD beach rules and safety tips for your next adventure. In Queensland we have access to some of the best beaches. While the Gold Coast and Burleigh Heads may be limiting to beach access, there are many surrounding beaches perfect for off-road driving. You can check out existing regulations from the QLD government here. So, where can I drive? You can contact your local council regarding permits and beach driving restrictions. They can give you an answer whether or not it is legal to drive at a certain beach. You may also find information of the website of the park. Safety Your responsibility as a driver is to be considerate to wildlife and practice safety measures to cause little disturbance to people on the beach. If in doubt follow the normal road rules. You should Be trained in what to do in the case of an emergency, towing or snatch strap recovery. Travelling at low tide is ideal. Be aware of weight distribution. Drive on the harder sand when possible. Carry a tyre pressure gauge. Be aware of your vehicles tyre inflation requirements. Track conditions. To ensure your safety and they safety of your passengers your vehicle must be built and prepared for beach driving. Firstly, your 4WD should have a high clearance and low range gear selection. Secondly, know your vehicle. Make sure it can cope with deep and soft sand, anomalies, poor conditions, bumpy tracks and is not overly top heavy. And thirdly, bring the appropriate gear such as a pressure gauge, first aid kit, water, portable pump and shovel. 4WD Tyres and Beach Driving Australia arguably has the best beaches in the world for 4WD driving. Driving in the sand follows its own set of rules. Here are our best basic tips for driving off-road. 4WD Cheat Sheet Vehicle Modification Small vehicle lifts and investing in a bigger tyre can go a long way. Otherwise, functional additions such as roof racks and spotlights can come in handy. Only you know the conditions you plan to be driving in. You can accessorize your 4WD accordingly reflective of environmental conditions. Lower Tyre Pressure To ensure you do not bury your tyres in the sand, lower the tyre pressure. This will allow your vehicle to stay on top of the sand rather than dig into it. We recommend a PSI of 15 to 20. Speed Your speed range should be within 20km/h to 60km/h. The harder the sand is with fewer obstacles, the quicker you can go. Turning Around Reverse as much as possible. Otherwise, turn towards the water following a decreasing, sloped angle. Your vehicle will most likely struggle driving up a slope, in the sand. Vehicle Recovery We recommend you take a shovel with you to dig a path to recover your car if it gets stuck. You can also lower the tyre pressure. You can attempt to push the car out with your passengers or call for the assistance of a nearby car to help pull it out. Drive with caution near the water or in areas with an incoming tide. Traction boards and a snatch strap should be an addition to any 4WD vehicle. Aftercare Watch out for rust! Wash your car after and do not forget to wash underneath. Bud’s Tyres are experts in 4WD tyres.

Best QLD 4WD Road Trips Is your vehicle and tyres road trip ready? The team at Bud’s tyres is here to prepare your vehicle to experience the best QLD 4WD road trips. A trip around QLD can take you from a densely populated urban area to sandy beaches, rough elevated terrain, desert landscape or tropical rainforests. Your tyres should be suitable for any planned trip to ensure you get the most out of your experience. If you are doing a lot of highway driving your choice in tyre should be completely different to a tyre that will be predominately taken around off-road driving tracks. We are here to help you make the best choice. In the meantime, here is a list of the best QLD 4WD road trips. Coast to Coast If you are all about the beach life a coast to coast trip might be the option for you. QLD is the home of the Great Barrier Reef and other extraordinary coastal experiences. Gold Coast to Cairns Cairns to Cooktown The Pacific Coast Fraser Island The Sunshine Coast Tropical North Queensland Outback Setting Almost 80% of Australians live within a coastal zone. To many Australians, the outback may be unexplored territory and a once in a lifetime opportunity. Approximately 40% of Australias land is desert while a larger percentage of land is uninhabited. Most of us have never had a reason to travel across the desert, so why not now? Matilda Way Queenslands Scenic Rim Australia is a role model in the global fight against COVID-19. We are almost back to living life as we knew it before the pandemic. Although state border restrictions are almost obsolete it is fair to say no individual could mask the frustration of missing out on another domestic holiday. Hence why interstate travel may not be the best option for you. Planning a trip within QLD is a risk-free option that you may have never considered with international travel on the cards.

Tyres and stopping distance are closely associated. Many people mistakenly believe that worn tread is only hazardous in wet weather. However, driving conditions aren't the sole factor affecting safety—the condition of your tyres plays a critical role in your ability sto brake effectively and maintain control. Regular tyre maintenance is essential to ensure your vehicle is safe and roadworthy. Opting to buy tyres online can simplify this process, giving you access to a wide range of options and helping you stay on top of safety requirements. Why Tyre Condition Matters Driving on worn tyres compromises your safety and that of your passengers. Neglecting to replace your tyres when they are worn not only increases the risk of accidents but can also lead to invalid insurance claims. In Australia, the minimum legal tread depth is 1.6mm, but safety experts recommend replacing tyres once they reach 3.0mm. This proactive approach significantly improves stopping distance and reduces the likelihood of accidents. Consequences of Worn Tyres Increased Stopping Distance: Braking performance decreases as tread wears down, especially in wet conditions. Higher Risk of Aquaplaning: Insufficient tread depth reduces the tyre’s ability to channel water away, leading to loss of traction. Poor Fuel Efficiency: Worn tyres can increase rolling resistance, impacting fuel consumption. Punctures and Blowouts: Tyres with low tread depth are more prone to punctures and damage. Invalid Insurance Claims: Driving on unroadworthy tyres can result in rejected claims in the event of an accident. The Science Behind Stopping Distance Stopping distance is influenced by various factors, including tyre condition, road surface, and weather. A comparison of braking performance illustrates the importance of maintaining adequate tread depth: New Tyres: When driving at 80km/h in wet conditions, new tyres allow you to stop safely and avoid hazards. Worn Tyres (3.0mm tread): The same car will still be traveling over 30km/h at the point where new tyres would have stopped, requiring an additional 9.5m to come to a halt. (NRMA, 2019) This stark difference underscores why timely tyre replacement is vital for your safety. Choosing the Right Tyres When it’s time to replace your tyres, selecting the right brand and type is crucial. At Buds Tyres, we offer a wide range of high-quality tyres from reputable brands such as: BlackBear – Known for durability and performance. Maxxis – Reliable and affordable for everyday driving. BFGoodrich – Ideal for off-road adventures. Toyo – A popular choice for long-lasting tread life. Nitto – Offers excellent grip and handling. Kenda – Budget-friendly without compromising quality. Yokohama – Renowned for advanced tyre technology. Shop online or visit our tyre shop in Burleigh to explore the best options for your vehicle. Importance of Wheel Alignment and Balancing Proper wheel alignment and balancing are essential to maximise the lifespan of your tyres and improve driving performance. Misaligned or unbalanced wheels can cause uneven tread wear, reducing safety and efficiency. Signs that you may need these services include: Uneven Tread Wear: Patterns can indicate overinflation, underinflation, or alignment issues. Vehicle Pulling to One Side: A clear sign of alignment problems. Vibrations While Driving: Often caused by unbalanced wheels. At Buds Tyres, we provide professional wheel alignment and balancing services to ensure your tyres wear evenly and your vehicle handles smoothly. Tips for Maintaining Tyres and Wheels To enhance safety and prolong tyre life, follow these maintenance tips: Check Tread Depth Regularly: Use a tread depth gauge or the "coin test" to ensure tread is above 3.0mm. Inspect Tyre Pressure: Under Inflated or overinflated tyres can lead to uneven wear and poor fuel efficiency. Rotate Tyres Periodically: Rotating tyres every 10,000km promotes even wear. Monitor for Damage: Look for cracks, bulges, or foreign objects embedded in the tyre. Schedule Regular Alignments: Misaligned wheels increase tyre wear and compromise handling.

Forget the confetti cannons and balloon boxes, a coloured smoke burnout is the real way to announce your baby’s gender if you’re a car enthusiast. There’s nothing quite like the roar of the engine and a cloud of pink or blue smoke to mark one of the most exciting milestones of your life. Whether you're planning an intimate reveal or a full-blown party, a gender reveal burnout will have your guests cheering. At Bud’s Tyres Burleigh Heads, we stock smoke tyres specifically designed for gender reveals. Get yours at here! Smoke Tyres Gender reveal smoke tyres are specially coated with a coloured powder that produces a vibrant cloud of smoke when you do a burnout. Once the tyres start spinning, they release either pink or blue smoke, revealing your baby’s gender in the most dramatic and unforgettable way possible. You can choose to purchase two pre-coated rear tyres in the colour of your choice, pink for a girl or blue for a boy. The powder coating may look purple on the tyre itself, but rest assured, the smoke will show your selected colour clearly once the rubber hits the road. Coloured Smoke Tyres Why do a Gender Reveal with Coloured Smoke Tyres? It’s bold. It’s loud. And it’s incredibly fun. This type of reveal isn’t just for car lovers - it’s for anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind experience. Plus, the photos and videos you’ll get from this moment? Next level. Trust us, your mates will still be talking about it at the baby shower. The Product Not all smoke tyres are created equal.

We strongly recommend using a suitable vehicle and having someone experienced, ideally a professional, carry it out. Make sure the smoke product you’re using is non-toxic and safe for the environment, and check with your local council or authorities in case any permits or permissions are required. Spectators should always keep a safe distance to avoid injury or exposure to smoke. Disclaimer: Bud’s Tyres does not accept any liability for accidents, injuries, legal issues, or damages that may arise from the use or misuse of gender reveal tyres.

Wood was the first tyre material used with leather being added later for a softer ride. Successively, rubber replaced leather. The first rubber tyre was solid. The first tyres filled with air were rubber tyres fitted to metal wheels in 1888. Natural rubber became an available substitute in the 1930s to increase tyre production.

The thought of a tyre exploding while you're driving can be unsettling. So, can tyres actually explode? The phenomenon more commonly referred to is a blowout or a burst tyre. Understanding the causes of this issue, how to respond if it happens, and preventive measures can significantly enhance your safety on the road. In this blog, we will explore everything you need to know about tyre explosions, including their causes, how to handle a blowout, tips for prevention, and where to shop tyres online for top-quality and durable options. Understanding Tyre Blowouts What Causes a Tyre Explosion? A tyre explosion typically occurs when a tyre's structure is compromised. Several factors can contribute to this dangerous situation, including: Incorrect Tyre Pressure (PSI): Both under-inflation and over-inflation can lead to blowouts. It is essential to maintain the proper tyre pressure for optimal performance. Age and Wear: Older tyres or those that have been used extensively may be more prone to blowing out. Rubber deteriorates over time, increasing the risk of a sudden failure. Overloading the Vehicle: Carrying excessive weight can strain your tyres, leading to overheating and potential failure. Heat: High temperatures can exacerbate the effects of poor tyre pressure. It’s vital to check your PSI before embarking on long journeys, especially during heatwaves. Road Conditions: Potholes, sharp objects, and road debris can puncture or damage tyres, potentially leading to a blowout. The Impact of a Blowout A tyre explosion can also damage your vehicle's rims and other components. This can result in costly repairs, as well as endanger your safety. Therefore, being aware of the signs of tyre wear and monitoring your tyres regularly is crucial. What to Do If a Tyre Explodes If you experience a tyre blowout while driving, follow these critical steps to ensure your safety: Stay Calm: The initial boom of a tyre popping can be alarming, but try to remain composed. Sudden reactions can lead to further danger. Avoid Sudden Movements: Do not slam the brakes. Instead, gently ease off the accelerator. Your vehicle may pull to one side, so make gradual steering adjustments to maintain control. Signal and Move to Safety: Activate your hazard lights to alert other drivers of your situation. Carefully steer your vehicle towards the shoulder or a safe area away from traffic. Come to a Complete Stop: Once you are safely off the road, bring your vehicle to a full stop. Get Help: Call for roadside assistance, a tow truck, or a mobile tyre service. If you are in a safe position, you may also choose to inspect the damage to understand the situation better.
