The Kenyan logistics and transport industry is heavily dependent on reliable commercial tyres that can withstand long distances, heavy loads, and mixed road conditions. From Nairobi’s industrial zones to rural distribution routes in Busia, Meru, and Eldoret, tyre performance directly affects fuel efficiency, safety, and fleet profitability.

Among emerging budget-to-mid-range brands, Torque commercial truck tyres have gained attention for offering a balance between durability and affordability, with prices starting from around KSh 13,500 depending on size and specification.

Fleet operators, especially in logistics and construction, increasingly pair tyre upgrades with our fleet management systems to track performance, reduce fuel wastage, and improve operational efficiency.
