What to know locally in Upington
Overlanders and farmers come in for tyres that handle gravel, sidewall cuts and pressures adjusted for sand and tar. Many cuts in the sidewall can't be repaired. Truck tyre services cover the N14 and N10. Heat makes correct pressure and load ratings important. Ask for bearings to be checked on trailers before a long trip, and carry a plug kit and compressor.
Upington: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Distance is the defining fact of wheel care in Upington. The town sits on the Orange River in the Kalahari, hundreds of kilometres from a metro, with the N14 and N10 carrying trucks and overlanders through. Vineyard and raisin farms along the river at Keimoes, Kakamas and Kanoneiland run tractors and bakkies on farm tracks, while 4x4s heading for the Kgalagadi and Namibia stop for tyres, puncture repairs and a final check. Summer heat is extreme and hard on tyres, and gravel with sharp stones cuts sidewalls. Tyre shops and fitment centres are along the main roads through town and the industrial area. For bigger rim work, wheels are often couriered to a metro.
