What to ask about a used tyre
A used tyre is only worth buying if it suits your vehicle and its condition checks out. Ask us all of these.
Tyre size
It has to match what your vehicle placard calls for, including load and speed rating.
We check the placard with you
Tread depth
Ask how many millimetres are left and what that means for how long it will last.
Tyre age
Every tyre carries a date code. Ask us to read it with you.
We will show you the code
Visible damage
Cuts, bulges, cracking and kerb damage on the sidewall all matter.
Previous repairs
Ask whether the tyre has been plugged or patched, and where.
We will tell you what we find
Suitability for your car
A tyre in good condition can still be wrong for your vehicle. We will tell you if it is.
Our position on used tyres
Not every used tyre is right for every car. We will not fit one we are not happy with. Bring the vehicle in or call with the size and we will tell you honestly whether we have something suitable.
Tyre availability and pricing depend on size, brand, vehicle and current stock. Contact TYRE PLACE for an accurate quote.
