New SA Treads Digital Aug/Sept 2026 issue now available

The latest edition of SA Treads Digital is now available.

Our August/September 2026 issue brings together the local, regional and international developments shaping the tyre industry - from the challenges facing dealers and fitment centres to new technology, investment and market activity.

Inside this edition

A major feature investigates the growing informal tyre trade and the risks it presents to consumers, legitimate dealers and road safety. The issue also looks at the pressure on compliant businesses as they compete with lower-cost, unregulated operations.

We explore how artificial intelligence is already influencing tyre manufacturing, quality control, workshop diagnostics, supply chains and future tyre-health monitoring.

Readers can also find:

• An interview on Dunlop’s Business-in-a-Box programme and its support for tyre entrepreneurs.
• Coverage of Dunlop Tyres SA completing its R1.7 billion Umnambithi/Ladysmith investment.
• The launch of General Tire’s Grabber Cross A/S in South Africa.
• Bandag’s national fleet programme.
• The upcoming Kyalami motoring event and an interactive industry poll.
• International updates from Nexen, Nokian, Continental, Michelin, ZC Rubber and Apollo Tyres.
