Sandton notes on tyres, alignment & wheel services
Low-profile and run-flat tyres need careful fitting, and many Sandton motorists ask for a shop with a leverless or assist-arm tyre changer. TPMS sensors are standard on most cars here, so ask about relearning after a tyre or wheel swap. Run-flat tyres are usually replaced rather than repaired if driven flat. Alignment after a pothole hit protects expensive tyres from feathered wear on the inner edge.
Sandton: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
In Sandton the typical damaged wheel is a 19 or 20 inch diamond cut alloy wearing a low-profile run-flat tyre, scraped along a parking garage kerb or bent by a pothole on Rivonia Road. Thin sidewalls give a rim little protection, so a hit that a bakkie would shrug off can crack a lip or split a tyre. Premium SUVs, German sedans and performance cars mean more TPMS work, more careful tyre changes and more lathe recuts than in most of Gauteng. Wynberg, next to Alexandra, holds much of the local motor trade, with more workshops near Kramerville and along the main roads, while mobile smart repairers visit offices in Sandton Central and Sunninghill.
The requests we see from Sandton usually come from:
- Private car owners: a commuter car pulling left after a pothole, or a crooked steering wheel on the highway
- Dealers, panel shops and insurers: used cars aligned before sale so they drive straight on the test drive
- Company and rental fleets: batches of bakkies and vans aligned on a schedule with a record kept for each vehicle
