At 100 kilometres per hour, an average-sized tyre rotates 850 times per minute. Due to this, even slight variations in wheel balance, sidewall stiffness or roundness of the tyre can cause the wheel to physically slam into the road surface 14 times per second.
Modern high-performance vehicles and SUVs with large tyres are extremely sensitive to wheel, tyre and surface feedback, manifesting in poor ride quality and annoying vehicle vibration. Excessive wheel vibration can also result in accelerated tyre wear, and damage to suspension and steering components.
If your wiper blades skip, squeak or chatter across your windscreen or cause streaking without adequately clearing your vision, they are due for replacement.
Worn wiper blades are not only annoying but can be a significant safety hazard. Replacement timing can vary based on factors such as UV exposure, weather and usage. We suggest replacing wiper blades every six months.
