Tyres, alignment & wheel services in Rustenburg: local notes
Fleet managers here book alignment, balancing and rotation often, because rough site roads knock toe out quickly. Truck tyre services cover the N4 and the R510, including roadside call-outs and dual wheel changes. Sidewall cuts from rock are common and usually can't be repaired, so carry a good spare. Ask whether call-outs reach a mine gate and what safety gear the technician needs.

Platinum mining runs through Rustenburg, and so do mine LDVs. White double cabs and bakkies with steel rims, spare wheels on the back and tyres scuffed by haul road rock are everywhere from Marikana to Phokeng. The N4 brings trucks between Pretoria and the Botswana border, while the R510 north carries ore and supply traffic. Potholes after summer storms and cracked shoulders on busy roads add commuter damage.

Most straightening is local, but a cracked mag may still be sent to Pretoria.
