A tyre shop sells tyres. A workshop sees why tyres wear out. At Moto & More we fit tyres as part of looking after the whole vehicle, so if your tyres are wearing badly we check the suspension, steering and alignment that may be causing it.
We help you choose tyres that suit your vehicle and your driving, whether that is a daily commute on the M1, school runs in Bryanston or weekends away with a loaded bakkie.
Reading a tyre size
A marking like 225/65 R17 102H means a tyre 225 mm wide, with a sidewall height 65% of that width, for a 17-inch rim. The 102 is the load index and H the speed rating. Your replacement tyres should meet or exceed the load and speed ratings your manufacturer specifies.
Choosing the right type
- Highway tyres for quiet, comfortable everyday driving
- All-terrain tyres for bakkies and SUVs that leave the tar
- Run-flat tyres on vehicles designed for them
- Light-truck tyres for vans and bakkies that carry loads
- Matching tyres across an axle for predictable handling
Look after them
- Check pressures monthly, including the spare
- Rotate tyres at service intervals if your manufacturer recommends it
- Have alignment checked after hitting a pothole or kerb
- Watch for bulges, cuts and uneven wear
Common questions
Can I fit a different size?
Stick to sizes approved for your vehicle. Changing size can affect the speedometer, ABS and handling.
Are run-flats necessary?
If your vehicle was designed for run-flats and has no spare, replace like with like.
How often should I rotate tyres?
Follow your manufacturer's advice. We can do it at service time.
Do you check alignment when fitting tyres?
We recommend it, and we look at wear patterns for signs of a problem.
