General Tyre Questions
Check your car's owner manual or the sticker inside the driver's door frame. It's best to check your pressure monthly when tyres are cold (and don't forget the spare!)
You'll need new tyres when the tread depth drops below the legal minimum of 1.5mm in New Zealand. Also, look out for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear, and if your car starts handling poorly or feels unstable, it's time to get them checked.
Toyo tyres generally last between 65,000 and 105,000 km but this depends on driving habits, road conditions and proper maintenance like regular rotations and correct tyre pressure.
It's not ideal. Mixing brands or patterns can affect safety, braking, and control — especially on NZ's wet or winding roads. Stick to matching tyres where possible.
We recommend rotating your tyres every 8,000 to 10,000 km. This helps them wear evenly and last longer — especially important on New Zealand roads where conditions can vary widely.
Product-Specific Questions
