Got questions?

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about tyres, fitting, and what to expect at the workshop.

How often should I replace my tyres?

Most tyres need replacing every 40,000–60,000km, or sooner if the tread depth is close to the legal minimum of 1.5mm. We check tread depth and overall condition for free — just drop by.

What tyre pressure should I run?

The correct pressure for your vehicle is listed on a sticker inside the driver's door frame, or in your owner's manual. We set pressures to spec on every fitting and can top them up any time, no appointment needed.

Do you fit run-flat tyres?

Yes, we fit and balance run-flat tyres for a wide range of makes and models, including Pirelli's run-flat range as an authorised Performance Centre.

Do I need to book an appointment?

Walk-ins are welcome, but booking ahead means we can have your tyres ready and get you in and out faster. Call, email, or use the contact form to book.

Do you do wheel alignments as well as tyre fitting?

Yes, we offer full wheel alignment and balancing alongside tyre fitting. Getting an alignment when you fit new tyres helps them wear evenly and last longer.

What brands of tyres do you stock?

As Pukekohe's only authorised Pirelli Performance Centre, we carry the full Pirelli range alongside other major brands to suit most budgets. Get in touch and we'll find the right tyre for your car.

What is Clipped Assist?

Tyre Lab has partnered with Clipped Assist, a membership repair service that comes to you to repair minor vehicle damage, such as scuffed alloy wheels, scratches, bumper scuffs and pressure dents. You pay once for a term of one to five years and can book eligible repairs for the whole of that term, carried out by Clipped Assist's mobile technicians. You can join through us, and the plans and prices are on our Clipped Assist page.

Is a Clipped Assist membership car insurance?

No. A Clipped Assist membership is not an insurance product or a replacement for one. It covers minor cosmetic repairs, within the limits in its terms and conditions.
