Wheels and roads in Bloemfontein
Right in the middle of the country, Bloemfontein is where the N1, N6 and N8 meet, and many long distance drivers stop here when a tyre or wheel gives trouble. Holiday traffic between Gauteng and the coast fills fitment centres in December and at Easter. Daily, commuters from Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu cover long distances, and farms around Bainsvlei bring in bakkies and tractors. Old city streets have their share of potholes. The motor trade is spread along Nelson Mandela Drive and the main routes, with industrial areas such as Hamilton and East End home to tyre wholesalers, mag repairers and truck tyre services. Most rim work, including crack welding and powder coating, is available locally.
Typical TPMS sensors requests in the area come from:
- Private car owners: a pressure warning that will not clear after the tyres were pumped at a garage
- Dealers, panel shops and insurers: warning lights cleared on used cars before they are sold
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: newer light commercial vans with direct sensors on every wheel
