Tyres & Batteries in Regional WA: Ready for the Long Haul

Nothing strands you faster than a flat or a dead battery hundreds of kilometres from town. Good tyres and a reliable battery are basic insurance for regional WA driving.

The Right Rubber

Long distances, gravel and heat are hard on tyres. Choose tyres rated for your driving — all-terrains for the bush — and check pressures and wear before big trips.

Batteries in the Heat

WA's heat shortens battery life. If yours is a few years old, get it tested before summer or a long drive rather than risking a no-start in the middle of nowhere.

Carry a Spare and Know Your Fitter

A good spare (or two on remote tracks) and a trusted local fitter are non-negotiable. Many regional tyre shops also handle repairs and alignments.
