Chery Tire Maintenance & Rotation Guide

How to check tire pressure, tread depth, and rotate tires on your Chery. When to replace and Australian tire costs.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Check tire pressure monthly (when tires are cold). Chery recommended pressure: 2.3-2.5 bar (33-36 psi) - check door jamb sticker

2. 2

   Tire tread depth: Minimum legal = 1.6mm. Replace at 3mm for safety. Use tread depth gauge or 20c coin test

3. 3

   Tire rotation: Every 10,000 km. Pattern depends on tire type (directional vs non-directional)

4. 4

   Front-wheel drive: Move front tires to rear (same side), rear tires to front (cross pattern)

5. 5

   Uneven wear patterns: Outer edge = under-inflation, Inner edge = over-inflation, Center = over-inflation, One side = alignment issue

6. 6

   Wheel alignment: Check annually or if car pulls to one side. Cost: $120-180

7. 7

   Tire replacement: Replace in pairs (both front or both rear). Don't mix tire brands on same axle

8. 8

   Tire costs (Australia): $150-250 per tire for mainstream brands (Hankook, Kumho, Bridgestone)

9. 9

   Premium tires (Michelin, Continental): $280-400 per tire
