Tyres Grafton

• Steering wheel sits off centre on a straight road
• Vehicle pulls to one side or wanders
• Uneven or feathered tread wear
• You have hit a pothole or kerb
• After fitting suspension parts or lift kits

• Camber to set how upright the wheel sits for even contact
• Caster to improve straight line stability and steering self centring
• Toe to prevent scrub and reduce rolling resistance

• We balance each wheel on a calibrated machine and add small weights to cancel vibration
• Proper balance reduces steering shake at highway speeds and protects shocks, bushes and bearings
• We recheck balance after puncture repairs or rotations to keep everything smooth

• During alignment we inspect ball joints, tie rods, bushes and shocks
• If we find play or wear we will explain the options and can book Steering and Suspension repairs in the same visit

• Small tread punctures within the repairable area
• Damage that has not torn the inner structure
• No signs of run flat damage or overheating

• Remove the tyre from the rim and inspect inside and out
• Prepare the area and use a patch and plug combination for an air tight and durable seal
• Refit, inflate to the correct pressure and balance the assembly

• Sidewall or shoulder damage
• Large cuts, exposed cords or distortion
• Multiple punctures close together
• Tyres that have been driven flat and show internal heat damage

• Rotate around every eight to ten thousand kilometres or at each Servicing
• Front wheel drive and rear wheel drive vehicles may use different rotation patterns
• Directional tyres usually move front to back on the same side
• Staggered wheel setups are checked and rotated where possible to keep wear even

• All terrain for a balance of on road comfort and off road grip
• Mud terrain for soft or rutted tracks where self cleaning lugs help
• Highway terrain for quiet cruising and long life if you mostly stay on bitumen

• We will match load index and construction to your setup, especially for towing or carrying canopies, drawers and camping gear
• Light truck construction can offer stronger sidewalls and better resistance to punctures on rough roads

• We confirm guard clearance, turning lock and brake line space to avoid rubbing
• For vehicles with lifts or extra accessories we can align tyre size with GVM Upgrades and check that gearing and speed readings remain practical

• Correct pressures improve grip, braking and tread life
• We can mark a recommended on road pressure and discuss adjustments for gravel or sand
• Pair rotations with Servicing so you keep the set wearing evenly over time

• Touring and off road setups benefit from a precise alignment that accounts for added weight and ride height
• We check caster, camber and toe and can advise on correction parts where needed

• Talk to us about your routes, payload, roof racks and towing plans
• We can supply and fit complementary 4X4 Accessories
• and ensure your tyres, suspension and alignment all work together

Tell us your rego, tyre size and how you use the vehicle. Daily commute, family trips, towing or off road. We note any concerns like vibration or pulling so our team can test for them on the road.

We confirm sizes and load ratings, check tread wear, note any nails or damage and measure pressures. A fast look over Steering and Suspension components helps us spot anything that could shorten tyre life.

You will get clear choices that suit your driving and budget. We explain tread patterns, expected life and road feel in plain language, then provide a written quote before we begin.

We record wheel nut torque specs, find the lock nut key, and set the hoist points. Old tyres are removed, valve stems are replaced where required and rims are cleaned so the bead seats correctly.

New tyres are mounted with care to protect rims. Each wheel goes on a calibrated balancer and receives the exact weight needed to cancel vibration. We set cold pressures to suit your vehicle and load.

We align camber, caster and toe so the car tracks straight and tyres wear evenly. If we see play in bushes, ball joints or tie rods we will show you and can book Steering or Suspension work in the same visit if needed.

We test for straight tracking, vibration and brake feel, then recheck torque to spec. If a dash light is on for tyre pressure or a sensor, we can look at it during Diagnostics and reset the system where applicable.

You will get tyre pressures, rotation guidance and alignment results in simple terms. We can set a reminder to rotate with your next servicing. We also recycle old tyres responsibly.

If anything feels different after a few days, drop in and we will recheck pressures and balance. Come back for a quick torque check and pressure top up at no charge. For registration, pink slips and roadworthy checks, we can handle Rego & Safety Inspections and confirm your tyres meet legal requirements.
