Frequently Asked Questions

Want to know more about tyre’s ?

We educate our consumers..

WHAT IS MY TYRE SIZE ?

The tyre size can be read off from the sidewall of your tyres. It would be a string of numbers looking like 205/55R16.

WHAT TYRE DESIGN IS SUITABLE FOR MY VEHICLE ?

This will depend greatly on your driving style and personal preference. Directional design for wet performance. Symmetrical design for comfort (quieter ride). Asymmetric design for a all rounder performance.

CAN I CHANGE ONE TYRE ONLY ?

Yes, you can. However, we do not recommend differing tyre design to be mixed on the same axle. Tyres should always be changed in pairs, to prevent uneven wear or imbalance of tyres.cima.

WHERE SHOULD A NEW PAIR OF TYRES BE FITTED ?

To the vehicle’s driving axle. Placing greater traction on the driving axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent possible over-steer condition and possible loss of vehicle control, especially during sudden manovers.
