Pre-owned Jeep Grand Cherokee Melbourne: How to Choose The Right Tyres

You know that feeling when you’ve put some new or uncomfortable shoes on? It starts with a small pinching around the toes and the heel. Soon it develops into discomfort. Then very soon, the pain is aggravated with every single step until…you can’t stand the agony any more. You have to sit down immediately, take off those devilish instruments of torture and give your poor, shredded feet a break. Then you spend the next week or two strapping your feet up with metres of band-aids and tape just to try and avoid that awful feeling again. It doesn’t matter how good those shoes look, the pain just isn’t worth it.

You wouldn’t think it could be that bad, simply having the wrong or tightly fitting shoes, but it can really affect your performance. You probably know where we’re going with this but we’ll spell it out anyway; if shoes can do that to your feet, imagine how much damage having the wrong tyres can do to your car.

Now, it’s unlikely you’ll ever have the wrong size tyre but you can certainly have the wrong style. And this can have a huge impact on both performance and safety. The right tyre often depends on what type of car you drive and what you’re planning on using it for. When it comes to high-end 4WD cars, like the Jeep Grand Cherokee Melbourne, you need a tyre that can handle any situation. You never know where you’re going to end when you drive a Jeep. It could be on a beach, hitting an off-road trail or waiting in traffic on Collins Street West, so you need a tyre that can cope with all these different situations.

Off-road tyres are designed for all these places and more. They have tougher sidewalls, so they have greater resistance against punctures on more dangerous ground. And when you’re in the Outback, that’s pretty reassuring. Off-road tyres should also have wider tread so mud and other debris won’t get stuck and reduce your grip. Tyres on 4x4s often come in for some pretty serious abuse, so they need to be tough and durable and have deep treads for extra grip. But they also need to be just as suitable for driving on tarmac. After all, that’s probably where they are going to spend most of their time.

So if you’re considering getting a 4WD like a Jeep Grand Cherokee, ask your Essendon dealer about tyres. There aren’t any plasters big enough for car blisters, so you need to get it right from the start.
