FlatMate - TPMS offers a reliable solution for monitoring your vehicle's tyre pressure.

31/08/2026

Airing down for sand is the easy bit. Airing back up is the bit people forget.

Soft tyres are what keep you off the shovel — longer footprint, floats instead of digging in. But get back on the blacktop still aired down and you build heat fast. That's how a tyre lets go.

Two rules: keep the speed right down while you're low, and air up before the bitumen.

What do you run on sand? Settle it below 👇

We sell tyre pressure monitors. So this is a bit against our own interests: sometimes it isn't the tyre.

A wheel bearing runs hot long before it lets go. One wheel warmer than the other three is telling you something — even when every pressure reads fine.

Back of the hand near each hub, every fuel stop. Careful, they get genuinely hot.

Ever caught one before it went? What tipped you off? 👇

Your door sticker has two columns.

One's for everyday driving. One's for when you're loaded or towing. Most people have only ever read the first.

And that number on the tyre wall? That's the tyre's maximum — not your car's number.

Set them cold. Check the van separately.

A blowout starts in silence—and usually turns into a five-figure nightmare before you even notice it on the dash.

When you're sitting at 100 km/h, you can’t feel a rear caravan tyre losing air until the rubber shreds, the rim bites the bitumen, or the rig starts to sway.

Catching low pressure early isn't about fancy tech—it's cheap insurance for your rig, your family, and your holiday.

A blown tyre on a loaded rig doesn't just cost the tyre — it costs the load, the window, and the day.

Guardian monitors up to 26 sensors across truck, dolly and trailer, with a 4-second pressure-drop alert and 30m range standalone (60m with the booster).

From $249. 180-day money-back guarantee.

Quick one: are you checking tyre pressure cold, and against the placard figure on your door jamb — not the number on the sidewall?

Most people aren't, and it's the easiest habit to get wrong. Full step-by-step, how often to do it, and whether servo gauges can be trusted:

You can see your own tyres. You can't see the ones on the trailer behind you — box trailer, horse float, dog trailer, whatever's on the hitch.

The Aura A6 Tow Pack monitors car + trailer together (6 sensors, booster included) so a slow leak shows up on the dash, not on the side of the highway.

From $179. 180-day money-back guarantee.

1.5mm is the legal minimum tread depth in every Australian state. It's also well past the point where your wet-weather grip has already dropped off a cliff.

Here's how to actually check it — wear bars, a gauge, or the 20-cent trick — and what uneven wear is trying to tell you.

265/65R17 112T. Most of us have looked at that code on the sidewall and never actually read it.

112 = 1,120kg load capacity per tyre. T = 190km/h speed rating. When you're towing loaded, that margin matters more than people think.

27/07/2026

Cold tyre. Hot highway. Same tyre, different number — and your dash light only tells you about one of them.

We broke down exactly how temperature moves your tyre pressure, why the warning light shows up on cold mornings, and why you should never let air out of a hot tyre.
