Get ready for winter travel – winter is (technically...) only a month away. There are 3 things to do:

• check your vehicle’s lights
• check your vehicle’s tyres
• follow us if you aren’t already to get updates on state highways before you travel.

This weekend is a great opportunity to do the first 2, and you can do the third one now.

Turn your lights on and get out of your vehicle to check your headlights, brake lights, and position lights (the front and rear lights that come on when you turn on your headlights) are all working. You can check your brake lights yourself by reversing close to a wall and looking for their reflection in your rear-view mirror.

This is also a good time to make sure you don’t have full beam on (it’s illegal to use full beam around other people) and that your fog lights are off (it’s illegal to use them when it’s not foggy or snowing).

Make sure your tyres have plenty of tread – the minimum legal depth is 1.5 millimetres but the more tread you have the safer you’ll be – and that they’re inflated at the pressure recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.

Finally, follow us if you aren’t already to get updates on state highways and check our pages before you travel.

We’ve already had plenty of bad weather across the country this year and conditions can change even more quickly in winter. Intense periods of weather such as severe rain can make it unsafe to travel. If we have to, we’ll temporarily close state highways for everyone’s safety.

Another Valuable Team Member!

Jaelyn is leaving us. We are sad to see you go after putting up with us for 2 years.
You are moving on to your next steps in life with Tia and your new little bundle of joy. We wish you all the very best in Gissy. Don’t be strangers. You are now part of The Tyre General family so that means you know where we are so make sure you keep in touch.
I’m sure there will still be plenty of Ford / Holden banter to be had 😂 When you know, you know!
