Wheels and roads in East London
Built around a river port, East London has a large vehicle assembly plant, an industrial development zone and a steady flow of freight on the N2 and the N6 inland to the Free State. That brings car carriers, parts trucks and fleet vehicles into the city's tyre shops. Commuters from Mdantsane and the King William's Town side travel busy routes where potholes and taxi traffic take a toll on wheels. Coastal suburbs such as Nahoon, Beacon Bay and Gonubie sit in salty, damp air that corrodes alloy. Tyre shops, wheel repairers and alignment centres are in Wilsonia, Arcadia and along the main roads in Vincent and Beacon Bay. Wet winters and summer storms keep potholes coming back on the older roads.
