Delivered, or drive over and wait
📦 Have them delivered
Free to urban Rotorua addresses. Order before 12pm on a weekday and it ships the same day, tracked, usually arriving next business day.
Browse tyres →🚗 Drive over and wait
About an hour via SH33 via Paengaroa. Fitted and balanced from $35 a tyre. Worth booking a slot so they are on the hoist when you arrive rather than after the drive.
Book a fitting →Forestry, hills and sulphur
Rotorua asks three quite different things of a tyre, and most vehicles here do all three in the same week.
🌲 Forestry access
Unsealed forestry roads cut shoulders and chip sidewalls. If you use them regularly, the right tyre is not the one that suits the highway.
⛰ Hills
Constant climbing and descending loads each axle differently and wears fronts faster than flat town driving would.
🔥 Geothermal air
Sulphur attacks metal. It shows on valve stems and rim finishes long before it shows on rubber, which is the same pattern as coastal salt.

What Rotorua buys, and why price decides it
Rotorua orders skew heavily towards 4WD sizes, which fits a town ringed by forestry. We have been delivering there most months since 2020. If you are running forestry access regularly, the tyre that suits the highway is usually the wrong one, and that is worth a conversation before you buy rather than after.
Rotorua orders lean heavily towards 4WD sizes, which are exactly where cheap and expensive sit furthest apart. Ours start at $70, and the 4WD sizes are the ones worth comparing, because that is where the discount against a retail price is largest.
