How to Get the Most from Your 4WD Tyres?

Posted on 25th, March 2020

No matter how expensive your tyres are, they are going to wear down eventually. You cannot run away from this fact. However, you can prolong the life of your 4WD tyres by following the following tips by AJAJ TYRES.

1.Adjust your driving style:

Avoid putting unnecessary pressure on your tyres like dumping the clutch and hitting the accelerator hard. You can adjust your driving style to preserve your 4wd tyres and prolong their life.

2.Check the pressure of tyre:

You can get the most from your 4wd tyres by checking the tyre pressure regularly. Use a pressure gauge to check if the tyre pressure is correct because inflated tyres wear down way more quickly and under pressured tyres can also make it harder to steer and apply brakes.

3.Wheel balancing & alignment:

Try to avoid obstacles on road while driving to avoid problems. Even the smallest of bumps on the road can cause wheel balancing and alignment problems. Obstacles like potholes and kerbs can cause the wheel alignment to get out of place.

The misalignment or poor alignment of wheels will cause one set of your 4wd tyres to wear down way quicker than the other. Even if just the outer rim of a tyre gets worn out, the while tyre would be replaced. Avoiding obstacles on the road is not possible all the time. That is why AJAJ TYRES recommend that you have your wheel balance check every once in a while.

4.Rotating tyres:

If a tyre is worn out, you do not change all the four tyres with new ones. However, AJAJ Tyres recommends that you move the previous set of tyres to the front of the car when swapping a pair with a new one for front-wheel drive vehicles to get the most from your 4wd tyres.

By rotating the set of tyres, you have to spend less money on overall tyre replacement. Make sure the tyres you are planning to replace are compatible with the tyres already fitted to your vehicle. However, it is not necessary for all the four tyres to be by the same manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often should I rotate my 4WD tyres?
It’s best to rotate your 4WD tyres every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometres to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan.

2. What tyre pressure should I maintain for my 4WD?
Tyre pressure depends on terrain—stick to manufacturer recommendations for highways, but lower the pressure when driving on sand, mud, or rocky tracks.

3. Does wheel alignment affect the performance of 4WD tyres?
Yes, proper wheel alignment improves handling, reduces uneven tyre wear, and enhances overall safety and fuel efficiency.

4. How can I make my 4WD tyres last longer?
Regular maintenance such as correct inflation, timely rotation, wheel balancing, and avoiding overloading helps maximise tyre life.

5. Are all-terrain tyres better for 4WD vehicles?
All-terrain tyres are a popular choice as they perform well on highways and off-road tracks, but the best tyre depends on your driving conditions and usage.

6. When should I replace my 4WD tyres?
You should replace them when tread depth falls below 1.5mm, when you notice cracks, bulges, or if the tyres are over 5–6 years old regardless of wear.
