Tyres Delivered to Auckland
We are a Te Puke warehouse, not an Auckland shop, and that is the whole point. No city lease sitting on the price, 15,000 tyres bought by the container, and free delivery to urban Auckland with no minimum order. Cheaper than a shopfront in the city can manage, and we have been sending them north every month since 2020.
About 245km of road between us and you
Order before 12pm on a weekday and it leaves the same day, tracked, typically arriving within one to three business days. Free to urban Auckland addresses from Pukekohe to Albany, no minimum order.
Motorway commuting wears tyres its own way
Auckland driving is easier on tread than most people assume, and harder on everything else.
🛣 High steady mileage
Motorway commuting is the kindest driving there is for tread life, and the least forgiving of an alignment fault, because the wear runs on for hours at a time.
🪨 Road surface
Potholes and patched seal damage the sidewall and the rim rather than the tread, which is why the damage is usually invisible until it is not.
🚒 Queues
Stop-start traffic heats tyres without airflow. Check pressures cold, not after a commute, or you will set them low.
Who fits them once they land in Auckland?
Not us, and that is the one real downside of buying from out of town. Almost any shop will fit tyres they did not sell, usually $20 to $40 a tyre. Ring first. On a full set the saving covers it comfortably; on a single tyre it might not, and we would rather say so than let you find out.
What we actually ship to Auckland

What we have actually done in Auckland
We have been sending tyres to Auckland every month since 2020. The orders skew larger than most people would guess for a city, with 4WD and ute sizes leading, which is where the price gap is big enough to be worth the freight. Everything goes out from one warehouse rather than a distribution network, so what the website says is in stock is genuinely on the floor in Te Puke.
The whole reason a cheap tyre from Te Puke makes sense in Auckland is that there is no distributor margin and no city retail lease inside the price. It starts at $70.
Where we deliver in Auckland
We deliver to any address in Auckland. Your house, your workplace, a depot, or straight to whichever mechanic or tyre shop is going to fit them. Put their address in at checkout and give them a call so they know it is coming.
Free urban delivery includes the isthmus and CBD, the North Shore up to Albany and Silverdale, the west through Henderson and Massey, the east through Howick and Botany, and the south through Manukau, Manurewa, Papakura and Pukekohe, and that list is examples rather than a boundary. Semi-rural addresses on the fringes are covered at a flat rate, shown before you pay.
SH2 to the Bombays and up SH1, or SH29 over the Kaimai and SH1 north. About 245km either way.
Why buy tyres from 245km away?
Because we import our own containers and run a warehouse instead of a city shopfront, so there is no distributor margin and no retail lease on the price. On a set of four that gap is comfortably larger than any fitting fee at your end.
