Maintenance Tips

01Super-singles carry the full load a dual pair would — check pressure twice daily when loaded
02Any sidewall damage is an immediate out-of-service condition — no run-flat capability
03Rotate with spare tyre every 60,000 km to equalise wear
04Ensure the wheel and hub are rated for super-single fitment before converting from duals

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Super Single tyres

Is it worth converting my truck from dual rear tyres to super-singles?

For trucks covering 150,000+ km per year on the Nairobi–Mombasa–Uganda corridor, the fuel savings (3–5%), reduced maintenance (fewer tyre changes), and payload gain (from lower unladen weight) typically deliver a positive ROI within 12–18 months. The conversion requires new wheel hubs rated for super-single fitment — our commercial team can advise on total conversion cost and payback period.

What happens if a super-single tyre blows out on a loaded truck?

Unlike a dual configuration where the surviving tyre carries the load in an emergency, a super-single blowout means immediate loss of axle support on that side. This makes roadside tyre management more critical — all super-single-equipped trucks should carry a spare tyre, a bead breaker, and a compressor.
