Tractor Tyres for Namibia Bulk & Wholesale Tractor Tyre Supply from Durban
Namibia's commercial maize triangle around Otavi, Tsumeb and Grootfontein runs a mix of dryland and irrigated cropping, while much of the rest of the country, from the Otjiwarongo district down through Hardap, leans hard on cattle and small stock. Two very different demands on a tractor tyre, often on the same farm. ForknTire supplies tractor and agricultural tyres out of Durban to Namibian farms, contractors and equipment dealers, matched to whichever side of that split your operation sits on. Namibia's farming country covers a lot of ground with relatively few large operations working it, which means downtime is expensive and a wrong-size tyre delivered three weeks late is worse than an inconvenience. We quote properly the first time, based on your actual tractor and soil conditions, not a generic size chart.
Based at 6 Schenk Rd, Pinetown. Phone 031 702 6335. Open during normal business hours, with mobile fitting available across the greater Durban region.
Brands We Supply
We stock and can ship the following manufacturers, chosen for a track record on African soil rather than a marketing claim about it:
Michelin
Reliable radial construction that holds up over the long, dry hours typical of central Namibian farming, where a tractor might run all day between water points.
Bridgestone
Durable tread compounds suited to farms combining road transport between camps with field or feedlot work.
BKT
A broad R1/R2 range at a price that works for contractors running mixed fleets across dryland and irrigated blocks.
Alliance
Flotation options that matter on the sandier soils found through parts of Otjozondjupa and the Kalahari fringe, where a narrower tyre just digs in.
Trelleborg
Built with African heat, dust and rocky ground in mind, and already well established on farms across the region.
Matched to Namibian Farming Conditions
The Otavi-Tsumeb-Grootfontein maize triangle runs centre-pivot and dryland maize and wheat side by side, and the difference in soil moisture between the two calls for different tread depth if you want to avoid unnecessary wear or poor traction. Further south, schemes like Hardap around Mariental irrigate lucerne and grains from the dam, and that softer, regularly wetted ground behaves differently again to the drier cattle country further north. Tell us where your farm sits and what it grows and we’ll steer you toward R1 or R2 accordingly, and toward radial or bias-ply depending on the age and duty of your tractor.
A fair number of Namibian operations run Massey Ferguson tractors bought through the Otjiwarongo and Grootfontein dealer network, alongside older machines kept going well past the point most farms elsewhere would retire them. We stock sizes to suit both, and we’re used to matching tyres to tractors that are twenty years old and still doing the job.
Ordering in Bulk from Durban
We ship to Namibia as consolidated freight rather than single-tyre orders, which keeps the cost per tyre sensible once transport is factored in. Send tractor make, model, current sizes front and rear, and roughly how many units you’re after, and we’ll quote tyre cost, freight to Windhoek or a border point convenient to your farm, and a realistic delivery window.
Distance is the main variable here. A farm outside Grootfontein or Otjiwarongo is a longer haul from Durban than one near Windhoek, and we’ll be upfront about how that affects timing so you can plan around planting or the start of the dry season rather than around our delivery truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we supply farms, contractors and dealers across Namibia from our Durban base, with freight and border clearance built into the quote.
Michelin, Bridgestone, BKT, Alliance and Trelleborg, spanning premium and value options in both radial and bias-ply construction.
Yes. Bias-ply patterns remain a sensible choice for older models and machines doing heavy loader or transport work, and we stock sizes covering decades-old equipment as well as current models.
From 12.4-24 for smaller utility tractors up to 710/70R42 for large field machines, covering compact tractors through high-horsepower units.
Send your tractor make and model, current front and rear sizes, primary use (cropping, cattle work, or both) and the farm's general location, and we'll price it properly rather than guess.
