Decklid Auto Services, Mazarrón, is an official supplier of top-performing Falken tyres

David and the team at Decklid can supply and fit Falken tyres across all sizes, and they know a thing or two about keeping them in great shape

Finding a garage you can trust when you're living in a foreign country isn't always straightforward, but Decklid Auto Services in Mazarrón has been doing exactly that for the expat community in Murcia for years. Now, as an official agent for Falken tyres, they're adding another string to their bow for drivers looking for quality rubber at a sensible price.

Falken is a Japanese brand, launched in 1983 and owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries, which has also bought the car division of Dunlop. That connection gives Falken access to serious engineering and manufacturing expertise, and it shows in the quality of the product. The brand started out focused on high-performance and motorsport tyres and still competes in drifting championships and other motorsport events, using those competitions to develop and refine their technology.

In Spain, Falken has been recognised with a "Best Quality Tyre Brand" award at the Hevea Tyre Industry Awards, which is a nice bit of reassurance if you're considering making the switch.

One of the reasons drivers tend to like Falken is that they sit in a sweet spot between budget and premium. They generally offer good grip and handling, tend to be quieter than cheaper options and come in at a lower price than the top-tier brands.

Decklid stocks Falken alongside other major brands and budget options too, and they're also an official agent of Dunlop tyres, so there's something for every need and price point. They can supply and fit tyres up to 22" wheels, which covers pretty much everything on the road.

It's also worth knowing that Decklid currently offers free four-wheel alignment when you buy four tyres in a single transaction for the same vehicle. That's a very useful perk, because alignment has a direct impact on how your tyres wear and how your car handles.

If your wheels aren't properly aligned, you'll often see uneven tread wear, where one edge of the tyre wears down faster than the other, and your steering can feel a little off too.

On the subject of tyre wear, it's something Spanish law takes seriously and it's worth making sure that you're on the right side of the rules. In Spain, tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread and there should be no cuts, bulges or exposed cords. Tyres also need to match your vehicle's technical specifications and be identical on the same axle. Getting caught with improper tyres can result in a fine of €200 per tyre, so it's not something you want to ignore.

When you're checking tread wear, uneven patterns can tell you a lot. If the outer or inner edge is wearing faster than the rest, that usually points to a wheel alignment issue. If both shoulders are wearing down more quickly than the centre, the tyre is likely underinflated, and if the centre is wearing faster than the edges, overinflation is probably the culprit.

It's also worth giving the sidewalls a look for any cuts, bulging or cracking, particularly given the Spanish heat, which can be tough on rubber over time. If anything looks off, it's important to get it checked sooner rather than later.

If you're in or around Mazarrón and you need new tyres, an alignment check or just some straightforward advice from someone who knows their stuff, Decklid Auto Services should be your first port of call.
