Greg Nelson and his team at Lithgow Tyre Service are not there just to sell tyres to the public, they are more than happy to answer questions and help guide you to maintain one of your most important investments.

After 22 years in the tyre business Greg knows his tyres and keeps up to date with the changing products within the industry.

No longer are tyres only full of air you can now get tyres filled with nitrogen, which are available at Lithgow Tyre Service as well as the new all season ecowing tyre from Kumho tyres.

Created based on Kumho Tyres’ own technological expertise, the environmentally friendly ecowing series demonstrates outstanding fuel saving benefits.

All your other favourite brands are available at Lithgow Tyre Service too.

Not sure when to replace your tyres?

Look for the little triangle on the outer edge of your tyres.

Level with these triangles, run your finger along the tread groove and you will feel a small rise of rubber.

When your tyre is worn down to this level you are now driving on illegal tread.

Best to get them earlier than that stage but this is one way you can check your tyre’s tread.

The other way is of course to head into Lithgow Tyre Service and they will let you know.

Another chore to keep your tyres healthy is to check the pressure.

Every tyre is different and you will find the correct pressure figure either just inside the driver’s door, in the glove box or in some models where the entry to your fuel tank is.

At least once a month checking your tyres and topping up the air (if needed) will give you a longer and safer tyre life.

For all your tyres needs head to the team you can trust, Lithgow Tyre Service.
