Tyres Delivered to Gisborne
Gisborne is a long way from most tyre wholesalers, which is exactly why we deliver there. Free to urban addresses, most months since 2020, from a Te Puke warehouse rather than a distribution centre that has to order your size in. Cheap tyres at the same price as the rest of the country, which Gisborne does not get offered often.
About 250km of road between us and you
Order before 12pm on a weekday and it leaves the same day, tracked. Free to urban Gisborne addresses, with flat rates for the surrounding East Coast rural addresses shown before you pay.
Distance changes what a tyre has to survive
East Coast driving is long, often unsealed, and a long way from anyone who can help if something goes wrong.
🛣 Distance between everything
Long trips mean heat and highway wear rather than town scrub. It also means a failure happens a long way from a workshop.
🌲 Unsealed roads
Rural access chips sidewalls and cuts shoulders. Worth checking the sidewall as often as you check the tread, because that is where the damage lands.
🌊 Coastal air
Salt takes valve stems and rim finishes first. Cheap to fix if you catch it, annoying if you do not.
Who fits them once they land in Gisborne?
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.

Cheaper tyres, without the East Coast surcharge
Gisborne is a long way from most tyre wholesalers, which is exactly why we deliver there, most months since 2020. Gisborne orders run larger on average than anywhere else we ship to. Being three hundred kilometres away also means we would rather you got the size and the load rating right the first time, so ring us if there is any doubt.
Gisborne pays more than the rest of the country for most things because of the distance, and tyres are usually one of them. Ours are the same price here as anywhere else and start at $70.
Where we deliver in Gisborne
We deliver to any address in Gisborne. 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 Gisborne city, Kaiti, Mangapapa, Elgin, Te Hapara and Wainui, and along the coast to Tolaga Bay, Tokomaru Bay, Ruatoria and Wairoa, and that list is examples rather than a boundary. Rural and East Coast addresses are covered at a flat rate, shown before you pay.
SH2 through the Waioeka Gorge from Opotiki, about 250km all up.
Is delivery to Gisborne really free?
To urban Gisborne addresses, yes, with no minimum order. Rural and RD addresses on the East Coast carry a flat rate that appears at checkout once you enter the address, rather than being added afterwards.
