About the product
The min legal tread depth for tyres in NZ is 1.5mm which is not much given that tyres are the only thing between your car and the road. Tyres can also wear unevenly so it’s important to check them regularly and keep them inflated correctly. Incorrectly inflated tyres can be dangerous, can wear out faster and result in reduce fuel economy.
For Warrant of Fitness requirements, tyres on the same axle must be of the same size designation, construction and the same tread pattern type (e.g. asymmetrical, directional, rotational). However, there is no legal requirement for tyres on all axles to be the same tread, even though NZTA indicates that fitting four identical tyres (preferably summer) provides the best grip.
There are all sorts of different types of tyres to suit different driving conditions and types of vehicles. It can be confusing to understand what you can mix and match safely, especially if you don’t know too much about cars.
When investing in new tyres its also recommended to get a wheel alignment to help maximise the life of the tyres. When buying tyres, it really does pay to shop around. There are around 1,000 tyre retailers in NZ so the best way to shop around for tyres in your local area is to shop around on Servo.
