| Feature | Tyre Dispatch Online | Traditional Tyre Shop |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ✓ Wholesale prices, no markup | ✗ Higher overheads |
| Convenience | ✓ Order from couch, 24/7 | ✗ Drive there, wait around |
| Pressure Selling | ✓ No upselling, browse freely | ✗ "You need all 4" tactics |
| Price Transparency | ✓ Compare 15,000+ options | ✗ Limited to their stock |
| Delivery | ✓ Free to door or mechanic | ✗ You transport tyres |
| Stock Range | ✓ Every size imaginable | ✗ "We'll order that in" |

| Returns | ✓ 12-month exchanges | ✗ "All sales final" |

🤔 "But What About Fitting?"
This is the most common question. The answer: any mechanic or tyre shop can fit tyres you bring in. Most charge $25-$35 per tyre for fitting and balancing.
Many customers find it's actually more convenient to buy online:
- Deliver to your fitter: We ship direct to your mechanic. Tyres waiting when you arrive.
- No double trips: Traditional shops often need to "order your size in" — meaning two visits.
- Choose your fitter: Use your trusted local mechanic, not whoever the shop employs.
- Better price overall: Even with separate fitting, you often pay less total.

🔧 Finding a Local Tyre Fitter
Once your tyres arrive, you'll need someone to fit them. Here are your options:
Option 1: Your Regular Mechanic
Most mechanics and auto shops can fit tyres — even if they don't sell them. Call ahead, let them know you're bringing tyres, and book a time. Typical cost: $25-$35 per tyre for fitting and balancing.
Option 2: Independent Tyre Shops
Look for local tyre shops that offer "BYO tyre fitting" — most are happy to fit tyres you supply. Some may charge slightly more for customer-supplied tyres (usually $5-$10 extra per tyre), but you'll still save money overall.
Option 3: Our Te Puke Workshop
If you're in the Bay of Plenty, book fitting at our workshop. We fit tyres we sell at competitive rates.
- Standard fitting & balancing: From $35/tyre
- Location: 31 Station Road, Te Puke
- Bookings: Call (07) 573 9090
Option 4: Mobile Tyre Fitters
Some areas have mobile tyre fitting services that come to your home or workplace. Search "mobile tyre fitting [your city]" to find options. Prices vary but typically $40-$60 per tyre including callout.

No — that's a common upselling tactic. NZ WOF rules only require tyres on the same axle to match (same size, construction, and pattern type). You can have different brands front vs rear.
The "all 4 must match" line is often used by tyre shops to sell you more tyres than you need. If only 2 are worn, you only need to replace 2. Put the newer tyres on the rear axle for stability.
See our WOF Tyre Guide for the actual rules.
Usually, yes — significantly. Here's a real example:
Tyre shop quote: $1,200 for 4 tyres fitted

We have lower overheads (no retail showroom, no commission salespeople) and we pass those savings to you. Even with separate fitting costs, most customers save 20-40% compared to traditional tyre shops.
All tyres come with manufacturer warranties against defects:

- Belt defects
- Abnormal wear under normal use
Not covered: Punctures, cuts, impact damage, kerb rash, damage from incorrect inflation, wear from alignment issues, or normal wear and tear.
If you suspect a defect, send us a photo. We'll assess it fairly and sort it quickly.
Yes, we support WINZ tyre quotes. Just provide:
- Your full name
- Delivery address
- Whether the quote is for tyres only, fitted, or delivered
Three easy ways to find your tyre size:
- Check your current tyres: Look at the sidewall for numbers like 205/55R16
