The quality and condition of your tyres have a direct influence on road handling, braking distances, fuel consumption and the overall safety of your vehicle. Replacing tyres at the right time helps maintain driving performance while preventing premature wear of suspension components. Conversely, delaying tyre replacement can lead to serious risks: punctures, aquaplaning, loss of grip or even failure in emergency situations. At Point S Côte d’Ivoire, our tyre services are built on three fundamental pillars: meticulous diagnostics, tailored advice for each vehicle, and mounting, dismounting and repairs carried out in full compliance with manufacturer standards.

When Should You Replace Your Tyres in Abidjan or Elsewhere in Côte d’Ivoire ?

Tyres must be replaced once the tread depth reaches the legal limit of 1.6 mm – or ideally before: 2 mm for summer tyres and 3 mm for winter tyres. Other warning signs should also prompt you to schedule a tyre replacement service:

• Vibrations appearing in the steering wheel
• Punctured tyres that have already been repaired
• Uneven wear between the edges and the central tread
• Manufacturing date exceeding six years, even if no visible wear is present

These issues are common on heavily used roads in Abidjan or in rural areas across Côte d’Ivoire. A free visual inspection at our Point S workshop allows you to anticipate potential risks and plan a tyre replacement with complete peace of mind.
 

Tyre Repair or Replacement in Abidjan: Which Option Is Best?

When a puncture occurs (including on heavy vehicles), it does not necessarily require immediate replacement. Tyre repair is possible if the puncture is located in the tread area, measures less than 6 mm and the casing is undamaged.

However, if the tyre has been driven flat, shows deformation, or if the affected area is located on the shoulder, replacement is essential. At Point S Côte d’Ivoire, we apply a simple principle: never compromise on safety — whether you are driving in Abidjan, Yamoussoukro or on major national roads.
 

Tyre Fitting in the Workshop: Precision and Reliability

Each tyre service follows a strict procedure. The vehicle is positioned on a lift, rims are removed without the use of levers to prevent any damage, the beads are lubricated, and the new tyres are mounted with precision. Wheel balancing is performed using a high-precision laser machine.

This process is crucial, especially for vehicles operating on degraded road surfaces such as those frequently encountered in Abidjan and many other urban areas of Côte d’Ivoire. We also inspect the brake pads and inform you if any future intervention is advisable.
 

Premium or Budget Tyres: Our Solutions for Driving in Côte d’Ivoire

The choice of tyres depends on your routes, vehicle type and desired level of comfort. Point S Côte d’Ivoire offers three ranges suited to local road conditions:

• Premium: Michelin, Bridgestone… for intensive driving and extended durability
• Quality: Point S range, offering an excellent price-to-performance ratio

Before any order is placed, our technicians verify load ratings, compatibility with all-wheel drive systems (common on SUVs and pickups in Côte d’Ivoire), and manufacturer recommendations.
 

Tyre Replacement in Abidjan: Transparent Pricing and Fast Appointments

The cost of tyre fitting depends on several factors: size, technology (run-flat or not), TPMS valve, and energy efficiency class. Our platform allows you to obtain an accurate tyre replacement quote within minutes by simply entering your vehicle’s registration number.

Confirm online, choose a time slot, and we will prepare your service in advance. On the day of your appointment, replacing two tyres typically takes around 40 minutes. Ivorian businesses with vehicle fleets benefit from a multi-vehicle portal with scaled pricing and automatic reminders.

Preserving Your Tyres on Abidjan and Côte d’Ivoire Roads

Road conditions in Côte d’Ivoire can accelerate tyre wear. It is recommended to check tyre pressure when cold once a month, avoid obstacles (kerbs, potholes), brake progressively, and rotate tyres every 10,000 km.

Key indicators not to overlook:

• Steering wheel vibrations between 80 and 110 km/h
• Visible wear indicators within the tread pattern
• Bulges or cracks on the sidewalls

Underinflation can cause internal overheating and potential blowouts, particularly on heavily trafficked roads or in high temperatures.
