Used tyres in Malaysia: prices, tread and import rules

Updated 4 November 2026

Used car tyres in Malaysia cost about RM 48 to RM 182 each in the listings we checked for November 2026, and pairs of common sizes cost about RM 175 to RM 450. Prices depend on size, remaining tread and whether the tyre is sold singly or as a pair, so ask for all three. For current offers in your size, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Import rules and warranties

Importing used tyres into Malaysia has carried an AP requirement since 1 January 2010, so ask a seller where its stock comes from and under which permit it was imported. Brand warranties are limited: Dunlop's Malaysian warranty covers only manufacturing defects on tyres bought and used within Malaysia, and Hankook's tyre warranty needs at least 5.5 mm of tread left, with claims valid for 180 days from purchase on the original invoice. For a used tyre, ask for the tread in millimetres rather than a percentage.

Wet roads and the season

Malaysia has no winter, so tread matters for wet roads rather than snow. November 2026 falls in the wetter months in much of the country, and worn tyres lose grip quickly in heavy rain. Hankook's 5.5 mm threshold is a useful reference point when you compare used tyres, and a tyre below it is harder to justify even at a low price. The hot climate also ages rubber, so check the sidewall for cracks.

Size, fitting and how prices are quoted

Sizes are written as width, aspect ratio, R and rim diameter, for example 215/55R16, and listings often drop the R (215/55/16). Some sellers quote per tyre, others per pair marked "for 2 pieces", and remaining tread is often given as a percentage such as 70 to 80 percent. Ask whether fitting and balancing are included, and what delivery to Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam costs.

What to write in your request

Give the tyre size exactly as printed on the sidewall, the number of tyres, the remaining tread in millimetres, the year of manufacture, the brand if it matters, the season type (summer, winter or all-season), your city and your budget in RM. Sellers who see these details can quote the exact set rather than a range.

Post the request in BlaBlaPrice's chat, with a photo of the tread if you have one. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, and shows the prices it found. Sellers reply with price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can also browse car tyres or truck tyres, and read how BlaBlaPrice works.
