Randfontein notes on tyres, alignment & wheel services
Tyre shops in Randfontein handle mine LDVs, contractor bakkies, minibus taxis and trucks on the R28. Mine fleets usually want regular tyre checks, alignment and rotation booked on account, and mobile services visit yards near Westonaria. Truck tyres on 22.5 inch rims can often be regrooved or retreaded on a sound casing. Dust on the roads also wears wheel bearings, so ask for a check when tyres are changed.
Wheels and roads in Randfontein
Gold mining shaped Randfontein, and it still shapes the tyre trade. Mine LDVs, contractor bakkies and haul trucks working the West Rand and Westonaria areas wear through tyres on rough, dusty roads and bring in steel rims with dents and cracked welds. In town, commuters from Greenhills, Randgate and Mohlakeng drive hatchbacks and minibus taxis on roads that potholes and heavy trucks have worn thin. The R28 runs south towards the Vaal and carries a lot of freight. Tyre shops and small workshops sit along Main Reef Road and the industrial streets near the town centre. For alloy crack welding or a diamond cut recut, many owners take wheels to Krugersdorp or Roodepoort.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually come from:
- Mines and construction sites: site vehicles with bearings worn by dust and rough haul roads
- Private car owners: a hum on the highway that gets louder at speed and changes in long bends
- Company and rental fleets: high mileage company cars and vans with bearings replaced before they fail on the road
