In 265/65R17 112T, the 112 means 1,120 kg per tyre and T means 190 km/h. How to read the sidewall, common load index values, and why the margin matters when you tow.

Australia's legal minimum is 1.5 mm of tread in every state — but wet grip drops sharply below 3 mm. How to check with wear bars, a gauge or a 20-cent coin, and what uneven wear means.

Tyre pressure moves about 1 psi per 10°C. Why the warning light appears on cold mornings, what hot-weather readings mean, and why you should never bleed hot tyres.

Check tyres cold, use the placard figure — not the sidewall — and re-check monthly. The full step-by-step, how often to do it, and whether servo gauges can be trusted.

The TPMS light means a tyre is well under its recommended pressure — many factory systems don't trigger until 25% low. What the symbol means, why it comes on, and the steps to take.

Most caravan tyres die of old age, not wear. How to read the DOT date code, why five years is the number that matters, and how age, heat and low pressure combine into blowouts.

Airing down changes everything — grip, comfort, punctures. The practical guide to 4WD tyre pressures for every Australian surface, and how to get safely back to highway pressure.

What PSI should your caravan tyres run? The no-nonsense Australian guide: placards, the 4psi rule, tandem vs single axle, gravel adjustments, and how to keep every tyre honest at 100km/h.
