With more than 50 years of mining tyre service and supply expertise – and a suite of proprietary KalPRO™ solutions for every stage of tyre life – Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group is constantly innovating to help make tyre management safer, smarter and more sustainable. Providing sales and service to over 230 mine sites across five continents, Kal Tire combines global experience with local expertise to help operations improve tyre performance, reduce downtime and manage one of their most critical assets with greater confidence.

Through advanced tyre management tools, technologies and performance monitoring, Kal Tire helps mine operations move from reactive tyre maintenance to more informed, proactive decision-making. These solutions give teams deeper visibility into tyre conditions and emerging risks, helping them identify issues earlier, prioritise the right actions and plan maintenance more effectively.

As part of its commitment to transformation, development and inclusion, Kal Tire South Africa has achieved Level 1 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment certification three years in a row—and is proud to continue investing in its people and communities.
