Tyres Delivered Across the North Island
Free delivery to every urban address in the North Island, with no minimum order. One tyre qualifies. That is not a promotion and it has no expiry, it is how we have shipped since 2020, from one warehouse in Te Puke holding 15,000 tyres.
The whole island of road between us and you
Order before 12pm on a weekday and it leaves the same day, tracked. Urban addresses are typically one to three business days, and the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Auckland often get them next day.
What free actually means
Free delivery offers usually come with something in the small print. Here is ours in full.
✅ No minimum order
One tyre gets free delivery to an urban North Island address. Most places set a floor of four, or a dollar value. We do not.
📍 Urban addresses
Free covers non-rural North Island addresses. Rural and RD carry a flat rate, because the courier charges us one, and it is shown before you pay rather than added at the end.
📦 Anywhere you can receive a courier
Your house, your work, a depot, or straight to the workshop fitting them. The address is yours to choose.
Who fits them once they land in the North Island?
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.
Where the tyres actually go
The towns we deliver to most often, from our own records rather than a coverage map.

One warehouse, one island, no distribution network
Everything ships from 31 Station Road in Te Puke. There is no regional depot and no third party holding stock, which is why what the website says is in stock is genuinely on the floor, and why an order placed before noon leaves the same day.
Free delivery only means anything if the tyre was fairly priced to begin with. Ours start at $70, and the delivery is not built into that number.
The areas we deliver to most
We deliver to every part of the North Island. Some areas have their own page with local detail: see the full list.
Everywhere else is covered by the same free urban rate, including Taupo, Tokoroa, Napier, Hastings, Whanganui, New Plymouth, Whangarei, Levin, Masterton, Palmerston North, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, Matamata, Thames, Waihi and the towns in between.
By courier from Te Puke, tracked from the moment it leaves the warehouse.
Is rural delivery really not free?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Rural and RD addresses carry a flat rate because the courier network charges one, and rural classification is set by them from your delivery address rather than by us. The rate appears at checkout before you pay.
Fitting prices and what is included: fitting terms. Delivery rates, rural addresses and timeframes: shipping policy.

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.
