How Much Does it Cost to Repair a Tyre?

On average, a new tyre in Australia can cost between $100 and $700. Factors that affect the price include its brand, quality and size. As you may expect, tyres from well-known and esteemed manufacturers are more expensive than lesser-known brands.

The size and quality of the tyre also impact its price as larger tyres with more traction are generally more expensive than smaller tyres.

In Australia, there are no laws against purchasing second-hand tyres and they are usually cheaper than new tyres.

The savings made by purchasing second-hand tyres are often not substantial, however, as second-hand tyres may need to be replaced or repaired frequently depending on their condition.

Experts often recommend purchasing new tyres over second-hand to ensure you get the best-quality tyres possible.

The best way to avoid paying to repair or replace a tyre is to regularly maintain your tyres. You should also regularly check for signs that indicate your tyres may need attention. If you feel like your car is driving a little rough, it could be due to uneven tire pressure.

The most common causes of uneven tire pressure are punctures and faulty valve stems. Punctures can be caused by nails or glass that stick into the tyre and let all the air leak out. At the same time, faulty or cracked valve stems allow air from the tyre to slowly escape over time, making it less and less inflated. These problems can contribute to tyre bulges or blisters which may require replacement entirely if they can't be repaired.

Age is another reason your tyres might need attention. Dry rot can cause small cracks in the rubber of older tyres that lead to leaks. This can also happen when a tyre is left stationary for a long period of time, particularly if it isn't stored properly and becomes exposed to direct sunlight.

Other problems that lead to low air pressure are bad rims and wheels that are unbalanced - both causing excessive vibration while driving at high speeds that might wear down the treads on your tires prematurely leading them to need repair or replacement later on. If you're having a hard time keeping your tyres inflated longer than usual, have them checked out by an expert mechanic as soon as possible.
