What to know locally in Tzaneen
Harvest seasons keep mobile tyre services busy on farms around Letsitele and Politsi, with tractor, trailer and bakkie tyres repaired in the field. Fruit trucks need truck tyre work on dual wheels. The steep R71 pass is hard on tyres and bearings, so a humming wheel or vibration deserves a check. Ask for alignment after new tyres, since orchard tracks knock steering out of line.
Tzaneen: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Subtropical orchards surround Tzaneen, and the trucks, tractors and bakkies that serve them are the backbone of local tyre work. Avocado, mango, citrus and banana farms run vehicles on muddy and rutted orchard tracks, and heavy fruit trucks climb the passes toward Polokwane. The R71 through Magoebaskloof is steep and winding, which is hard on brakes, tyres and wheel bearings, especially when wet. Summer rain is heavy here, and potholes appear fast. Tyre and fitment shops are clustered in town and its industrial area, serving Nkowankowa and Letsitele too. Simple rim work is done locally, while crack welding, diamond cutting or a full refurbishment often goes to Polokwane.
Who asks for wheel alignment around Tzaneen, most often first:
- Farms: farm bakkies knocked out of line by ruts and gravel roads on the platteland
- Private car owners: a commuter car pulling left after a pothole, or a crooked steering wheel on the highway
- Company and rental fleets: batches of bakkies and vans aligned on a schedule with a record kept for each vehicle
