TiAuto CEO Alex Taplin Joins LITTLE EDEN’s Wheelchair Challenge to Support Mobility Awareness

TiAuto CEO Alex Taplin Joins LITTLE EDEN’s Wheelchair Challenge to Support Mobility Awareness

 

On 26 March 2024, in a gesture of solidarity and commitment to community welfare, Alex Taplin, CEO of TiAuto Investments, parent company of Tiger Wheel & Tyre, spent a day in a wheelchair as part of LITTLE EDEN’s CEO Wheelchair Challenge. This initiative aims to raise awareness for individuals who rely on mobility devices and to support LITTLE EDEN’s essential services.

 

LITTLE EDEN, a haven for individuals with profound intellectual disabilities, offers specialized care for its 300 residents who call it home. With financial constraints affecting many organisations in recent years, LITTLE EDEN looks to partnerships and community support to maintain its high standard of care. The CEO Wheelchair Challenge encourages business leaders to experience the daily life of those who depend on mobility aids and consider supporting the organisation either financially or through product contributions.

 

In response to this call for support, Tiger Wheel & Tyre, in collaboration with Continental Tyres, stepped forward to ensure the safety and reliability of LITTLE EDEN’s fleet. The company fitted 18 new Continental tyres to LITTLE EDEN vehicles, including a VW Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter Bus, Fiat Doblo, and Toyota Hilux D4D. The commitment extended beyond just providing tyres, and Tiger Wheel & Tyre’s Greenstone and Bruma stores also took care of wheel balancing, alignment, and even repaired badly buckled wheels through Bruma’s in-store Xpress Wheel Straightening facility.

 

“This initiative resonates deeply with Tiger Wheel & Tyre’s core values,” explained Taplin. “Our brand promise, ‘Let’s go together,’ isn’t just about the road; it’s about the journey we share as a community. We’re inspired by the resilience and spirit of the LITTLE EDEN residents and were delighted to support their safety and wellbeing.”

 

Continental tyres, known for their high quality and reliability, were chosen to ensure that the LITTLE EDEN fleet remains road-safe and ready to transport their cherished “angels” with the utmost care. This joint effort reflects both Tiger Wheel & Tyre and Continental’s genuine commitment to keeping South African roads safe while supporting causes that contribute meaningfully to society.

Tiger Wheel & Tyre Celebrates 16 Years of Recognition for Excellence

Voted Best Tyre Fitment Centre in The Star Reader’s Choice Awards 2023/2024

 

In Gauteng’s competitive business scene, the companies that succeed are those that prioritise winning the trust and loyalty of their customers. For nearly six decades, Tiger Wheel & Tyre has stood out as a beacon of quality and reliability for motorists. Readers of The Star newspaper recognise this commitment and have awarded Tiger Wheel the title of Best Tyre Fitment Centre in The Star Reader’s Choice Awards 2023/2024!

 

“What makes this win so meaningful is that it wasn’t decided by industry insiders or a panel of judges. Instead, it reflects the experiences of customers who interact with us first-hand,” said Alex Taplin, CEO of TiAuto Investments. “Being chosen again as the best in our field by the people we serve is a genuine honour, and a testament to the professionalism, consistency and warmth of Tiger Wheel & Tyre staff.”

 

This is not the first time Tiger Wheel & Tyre’s dedication to excellence has resonated with the public. The company has now won this accolade 16 times. Even more noteworthy is that 13 of these wins have been consecutive. This streak highlights Tiger Wheel & Tyre’s consistent performance and underscores its enduring appeal and trustworthiness among Gauteng residents.

 

It’s safe to say that Tiger Wheel & Tyre’s success is not merely a reflection of the company’s expertise in wheels and tyres, but also of its deep-rooted values of integrity, reliability, and community engagement.

 

Taplin concluded, “From all of us at Tiger Wheel & Tyre, a big thank you to The Star readers for this singular honour. Here’s to many more years of journeying together!”

Don’t push worn tyres to the limit, cautions Tiger Wheel & Tyre

Don’t push worn tyres to the limit, cautions Tiger Wheel & Tyre

 

Are you tired and looking forward to the holidays? Spare a thought for your vehicle tyres which may be so tired they won’t be joining you on holiday, but heading for re-tyrement instead!

 

The good news is that from 13 March to 27 April 2024, Tiger Wheel & Tyre will give you up to R150 off the purchase of every premium brand tyre you purchase, when you buy two or more. Choose from these leading, premium brands: BFG, Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear, Hankook, Michelin, Pirelli, Yokohama.

 

Whether you drive long distances or short, and frequently or infrequently, it’s important to check your tyres regularly and often. Look for foreign objects, obvious damage to the tyre or sidewall and of course, check the tread depth. A word to the wise here, while 1 mm is the minimum legal tread depth, it really is advisable to replace them before you’re down to the minimum. Don’t push it to the limit!

 

This wisdom is borne out by recent tests conducted by Tiger Wheel & Tyre at the Gerotek Testing Facility in Pretoria. Using identical vehicles, experts tested the performance of new tyres versus worn tyres whose tread was still within the legal limit. The results were sobering.

 

Key findings relating to how worn tyres perform compared to new tyres, include:

  • A 10m increase in wet, straight line braking distance at 60km/h, and as much as 35m increase in braking distance at 100km/h
  • Understeer and difficulty attaining speed of 50km/h on a simulated highway offramp in the wet
  • Inability to avoid a collision by making an emergency lane change in the wet at 40km/h
  • Inability to successfully navigate a slalom course beyond just the first cone, at 40km/h in the wet

 

To recap then, worn tyres not only have reduced road grip, but will also increase your braking distance in both wet and dry conditions and challenge you with volatile steering. They are also subject to increased loss of tyre pressure and risk of blow-outs.

 

If you’re looking to re-tyre your tyres, don’t waste a minute. Get to Tiger Wheel & Tyre and have your vehicle fitted with top-performing, premium brand tyres between 13 March and 27 April 2024 and you’ll save up to R150 per tyre when you buy any two or more premium tyres. Ts & Cs apply. Learn more at www.twt.co.za
