New Zealand's Tyre Experts Since 2007
We're not just selling tyres — we're Kiwis helping Kiwis drive safer, smarter, and for less.
Est. 2007
From Wholesale Roots to Your Driveway
Back in 2007, we started Traction Tyres as a wholesale operation right here in Te Puke, Bay of Plenty. We supplied tyre shops across the North Island with quality tyres at competitive prices.
But we kept hearing the same question from everyday Kiwis: "Can we buy direct from you?"
In 2019, we launched Tyre Dispatch — bringing wholesale pricing directly to New Zealand drivers. Same quality, same expertise, but now available to everyone.
Today, we stock over 15,000 tyres, ship free across the North Island, and have earned 250+ five-star reviews. No call centres. No corporate runaround. Just real Kiwis who actually know tyres.
