What it is

What is tyre service cost in india?

Tyres wear unevenly — front tyres wear faster (steering and braking loads) and the outer edges wear faster than the centre. Regular rotation (swapping front and rear) evens out wear, extending tyre life by 20–40%. Wheel alignment ensures tyres meet the road at the correct angle, preventing rapid uneven wear and improving fuel economy.

Smart tips

How to avoid overpaying

Check tyre pressure monthly

Incorrect tyre pressure is the biggest cause of premature wear and poor fuel economy. Check monthly — not just at service time. Correct pressures are printed on a sticker inside your driver's door.

Rotate every 10,000 km

Tyre rotation takes 15 minutes and costs ₹200–₹400. Done consistently, it can add 15,000–20,000 km to your tyre life — easily worth ₹5,000–₹10,000 in savings.

Alignment after potholes

India's roads are brutal on wheel alignment. Get alignment checked after any significant pothole impact or if you notice the car pulling to one side or uneven tyre wear.

Don't mix tyre brands

Always replace tyres in pairs (both fronts or both rears), and ideally all four at once. Mixing tyre brands, sizes, or wear levels creates unpredictable handling.
