Tyres in Mount Maunganui
We are not in Mount Maunganui. We are in Te Puke, twenty five minutes down SH2. That is deliberate: no mall rent, no shopfront, and a warehouse holding 15,000 tyres instead. Cheap tyres for the Mount, without the Mount's rent in the price. Drive over and wait, or have them delivered free.
If you searched for tyres near me from the Mount, the nearest workshop we run is twenty five minutes away in Te Puke, and there is no mall rent in the price.
Drive over, or have them delivered
🚗 Drive over and wait
Twenty five minutes via SH2. Fitted and balanced from $35 a tyre, about an hour for a set of four. Off-street parking, main street two minutes away.

Free to urban Mount Maunganui addresses. Order before 12pm on a weekday and it ships the same day, usually arriving next business day.
Browse tyres →Salt gets the valve before it gets the tyre
Coastal vehicles arrive with faults inland vehicles do not have, and they turn up in the same three places every time.
🌊 Valve corrosion
Salt air eats metal valve stems from the inside out. It is the most common cause of a slow leak we see on an otherwise healthy coastal tyre, and the part costs about three dollars.
🏖 Sand in the bead
Beach access parking works sand into the seal, so the tyre never quite sits clean against the rim. We clean the bead seat on every fit regardless.
🚒 Short trips
Under fifteen minutes most days means tyres never reach working temperature, so pressures read low at the servo and get topped up wrong.

Cheaper than the Mount, twenty five minutes away
Mount vehicles come to us with a recognisable pattern. Corroded valve stems on tyres that are otherwise fine, sand worked into the bead seat, and pressures set from a cold reading after a run of short trips. None of it is dramatic and all of it is preventable, which is why we replace valves as a matter of course rather than reusing them.
A cheap tyre from a warehouse twenty five minutes away still costs less than a mid-priced one at the Mount, and the range starts at $70. We are not always the cheapest on one tyre. On a set we usually are, and by a margin worth the drive.
Where we deliver in Mount Maunganui
We deliver to any address in Mount Maunganui. 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 Mount Maunganui, Omanu, Arataki, Bayfair, Matapihi and the north end around Marine Parade and Maunganui Road, and that list is examples rather than a boundary. Papamoa and Welcome Bay sit on the same urban rate, and rural addresses are covered at a flat rate shown before you pay.
SH2 east through Te Maunga and Papamoa, or the Tauranga Eastern Link if you are coming from the Bayfair end. Twenty five minutes on a clear run.
Do you have a Mount Maunganui shop?
No. One workshop, at 31 Station Road in Te Puke, twenty five minutes away. Anybody advertising a Mount depot is either a chain paying mall rent or a page pretending to be local, and we would rather give you the drive time.

Taylor Houghton
Manager, Tyre Dispatch · Warehouse Manager, Traction Tyres
Taylor Houghton has spent his working life in the tyre trade, beginning in his father's tyre business at the age of five and handling import containers through his school years. He developed Tyre Dispatch, the retail arm of Traction Tyres, and now manages it alongside the Traction Tyres warehouse in Te Puke, with responsibility for buying and brand selection. He holds no ownership interest in either business.
Both brands the company distributes exclusively in New Zealand, Anchee and Predator, were his selections, each assessed on factory accreditation, compound composition and independent test data rather than name recognition. More than 100,000 Anchee tyres have since been sold here, and both brands hold five star review averages.
The guides, calculators and tools on this site are his own work, as is the workshop dataset behind them, which covers 1,700+ documented tyre inspections and 45,000+ photographs and represents more than a thousand hours, the majority outside business hours. He is the petitioner to Parliament for mandatory tyre performance labelling and minimum wet-grip standards in New Zealand, and appeared in the launch video for Tyrewise, the national tyre stewardship scheme.
Photography, measurements and advice on this site are first-hand; where a figure comes from elsewhere, it is attributed.
