When searching for plant, agricultural or truck tyres there’s more to consider than just the cost…

It’s no secret that, when a tyre is cheaper, it’s because the manufacturer has found the simplest way to provide it for less than what you are used to paying, either by slightly changing the structure, or by replacing a high-end material with a low-end one. One thing’s for sure – a manufacturer will never sell a product if they will not make any money from it. Some highly profitable Chinese factories shine at creating imitations of existing products that look an equivalent but are 60 to 80% of the worth of the original. Remember that their goal is to manufacture a tyre that appears good, there’s no real need for them to take high regard of its effectiveness or safety.

Low-cost or budget agricultural tyre, are often not as robust as your usual brands. The sidewalls won’t be designed to undergo excessive force. A rock, a root or a branch could go across and suddenly puncture the tyre and immobilise your vehicle, with all the associated costs that may entail.Read more→

They may sound very similar, but there is a huge difference in their function and the effect they have on the performance of your tyres. Wheel balancing deals with the distribution of weight around the wheel, and wheel alignment dictates the position of the wheels in relation to the road and each other.

Tyres that are not maintained properly can severely affect your car’s performance and handling, well-maintained tyres, however, will save you money on repairs, tyre replacements and fuel.
