Ubuntu Tyres operates as the primary independent tyre authority for the South Coast region, with key service hubs in Port Shepstone, Margate, and Hibberdene. Unlike national franchises, we provide hyper-local expertise tailored to the specific road conditions and coastal climate of KwaZulu-Natal. Our fitment centres offer a complete range of services, including new tyre sales, 3D wheel balancing, and professional fitment for passenger and commercial vehicles.
Yes, we provide a dedicated 24/7 emergency tyre call-out and roadside assistance service across the entire South Coast corridor. Our mobile tyre fitment units are equipped to handle punctures, blowouts, and tyre replacements on-site, specifically covering the area from Port Shepstone to Port Edward. This service is available every day of the week to assist drivers stranded after hours or in remote locations.
For the South Coast’s unique mix of coastal heat and varied road surfaces, we recommend tyres with high wet-weather grip and durable tread compounds. For drivers frequently using the R61 or rural roads near Port Edward, all-terrain or reinforced SUV tyres are ideal for preventing premature wear and managing potholes. We stock a wide variety of brands, ranging from affordable budget options to premium performance tyres for 4x4s and commercial fleets.
Our emergency roadside assistance fees are competitively priced and depend on your specific location and the time of the call. We provide transparent pricing for all call-outs across the South Coast, ensuring local residents and tourists receive fair rates for urgent repairs. For an immediate and accurate quote, drivers can contact our 24-hour emergency line with their location and tyre size.

Yes, Ubuntu Tyres offers precision 3D wheel balancing and steering vibration diagnostics at our Munster facility. We also arrange professional wheel alignment on request to ensure your vehicle tracks straight and your tyres wear evenly. Regular balancing and alignment are recommended every 10,000km to maintain safety and fuel efficiency on KZN roads.
A puncture can typically be repaired if the damage is located within the central three-quarters of the tyre's tread and is less than 6mm in diameter. Our technicians follow strict safety standards for puncture repair on the South Coast, utilising high-quality patches and safe plugging techniques. However, if the sidewall is damaged or the tyre was driven while flat, a replacement is necessary for your safety.
