About orkplex Ltd
Kilkenny's trusted partner for seasonal tyre changes, wheel alignment, and comprehensive tyre care since 2019
What We Do Best
We're focused on one thing: helping drivers in Kilkenny get the right tyres for every season. Whether it's switching to winter compounds or summer rubber, we handle the full process with care and expertise.
Winter Tyre Installation
Professional fitting of winter tyres with proper alignment checks. We'll make sure your vehicle's ready for cold weather and icy conditions before the season hits.
Summer Tyre Changeover
Expert installation of summer tyres tailored to warmer months. Our team handles storage of off-season tyres and ensures your vehicle performs at its best.
Wheel Alignment Check
Comprehensive wheel alignment verification after every tyre change. Proper alignment extends tyre life, improves handling, and keeps your vehicle safe on the road.
How We Work
Orkplex Ltd follows a straightforward, no-nonsense approach. We've streamlined our process so your tyre changeover is quick, professional, and thorough.
Assessment & Inspection
We start by checking your current tyres for wear, damage, and condition. This tells us exactly what you need for the season ahead and whether your wheels need alignment work.
Removal & Storage
We safely remove your seasonal tyres and prepare them for storage. Off-season tyres get cleaned, inspected, and stored properly so they're ready next year.
Installation & Balancing
Your new seasonal tyres get fitted carefully, balanced precisely, and torqued to specification. We don't rush this part — it matters for safety and performance.
Alignment & Testing
Finally, we check your wheel alignment using proper equipment. This ensures your vehicle handles correctly and your new tyres will wear evenly throughout the season.
Why Seasonal Changes Matter
Winter tyres aren't just a legal requirement in many places — they're genuinely safer. The rubber compound in winter tyres stays flexible in cold weather, giving you better grip on ice and snow. Summer tyres are engineered for warmth and road contact in dry conditions.
Switching between them twice a year protects your investment in both sets. It extends their lifespan significantly. Plus, you'll notice the difference in how your vehicle handles and performs.
That's why we focus on doing this changeover properly. Getting the right tyres on at the right time, balanced correctly, and aligned well — it all adds up to safer, more predictable driving.
