Wheels and roads in Paarl
Paarl is a working wine and fruit town on the N1, at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Pass and the Huguenot Tunnel. Trucks carrying grapes, fruit and freight climb the pass towards the interior, and farm bakkies, tractors and trailers move along gravel roads between the vineyards. Summers are hot, sometimes very hot, which is hard on tyre pressures and rubber, while winters bring heavy rain and potholes on Main Street and the older roads. Tyre shops, wheel repairers and alignment centres are in the Dal Josafat industrial area and along the main roads, with more in Wellington. Commuters from Mbekweni and holiday traffic on the N1 add steady wear and punctures.
Typical cracked rim repair requests in the area come from:
- Farms: cracked bakkie and trailer rims from rocky farm tracks, mostly replaced
- Company and rental fleets: cracked wheels on pool cars assessed and replaced where welding is unsafe
- Tyre shops and wheel workshops: fitment centres sending leaking wheels to a shop with a TIG welder
