WHEEL ALIGNMENT
HIGHEST CERTIFIED STAFF IN ZIMBABWE
Wheel alignment is the service offered by Protyre, that adjusts your vehicle’s suspension (toe in / toe out and camber settings) to ensure that the wheels are orientated correctly both to each other and to the road surface. Wheel alignment affects the direction and angle of contact the tyres have with the road, which then affects both the wear of the tyres and the performance and road handling of the vehicle.
WHAT IS TYRE ALIGNMENT?
WHY USE NITROGEN?
Nitrogen is an inert gas that does not react with other substances, making it ideal for use in tyres. Nitrogen molecules are also larger than oxygen molecules, meaning they are less likely to leak through the tyre’s rubber, helping to maintain the correct tire pressure for a longer period of time. Nitrogen allows the tyres to run at lower temperatures than normal oxygen filled tyres, which will contribute to reduced tyre wear.
TYRE REPAIRS
Here at Protyre we offer guaranteed workmanship for all our tyre repair work. Under the guidance of fully REMA TIP TOP Certified repair technicians, we follow the correct processes to ensuring our repairs last and give you peace of mind, ie meaning we don’t simply plug your wheel, we ensure a long lasting guaranteed solution for the extension of your tyre’s life.

FITMENT & BALANCING
HIGHEST CERTIFIED STAFF IN ZIMBABWE
Getting the perfect fitment is essential. Tyres or wheels that are too small or large for your car can lead to several problems, including poor handling, accelerated tyre wear and even vehicle damage. To avoid these problems, it's important to understand how rim and tyre size affect fitment and how to get the perfect match for your car.
Tyre balancing is a specific type of tyre maintenance that balances the weight of a tyre and wheel, ensuring they work together in tandem seamlessly for a smooth, safe ride. Well balanced tyres will enhance vehicle performance and improve tyre life.

WHY TAKE OUR ADVICE?
SUSPENSION CHECKS
A suspension check will help keep you safe. Your car’s suspension - the springs, shocks, and struts - keep your tyres smoothly on the road. That’s a good thing when you’re taking a sharp turn, heading down a steep hill, driving on rough roads, or stopping to avoid an accident. However, when your suspension is worn, it can cause added wear to other parts of your vehicle, including your tyres. Making sure your suspension is sound allows you the peace of mind to enjoy your car’s driving experience to the fullest whilst on the open road.
Closer to home, our inner-city roads are potholed and damaged and your suspension parts are working very hard to keep you safe, so the wise man would be the one to check on premature wear and tear.
WHY CHECK YOUR SUSPENSION?
SUSPENSION REPAIRS
It could be time for a suspension check anytime you see cupping or irregular wear on your tread or your vehicle starts to bottom out, bounce and sway over bumps and around corners, ride rough, or nose-dive when you brake. New shocks or struts can help restore the quality of your ride control. Spotting fluid under your vehicle is rarely a good thing. When it comes to ride control, it could mean the seal on one of your struts has failed and is dripping hydraulic fluid.
Once we identify your problem, our trained service technicians can provide you with a competitively priced quote to carry out the much needed repairs at selected Protyre Branches (7th Street and Msasa).
