Motorcycle tyres in New Zealand: prices and buying tips

A motorcycle tyre in New Zealand costs roughly NZ$60 to NZ$420, depending on size, type and whether it is a basic, sport or touring tyre (approximately, according to sellers' websites, October 2026). To get a current price for your bike, create a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Tread depth: the legal limit

In New Zealand the minimum legal tread depth for road tyres is 1.5 mm in the principal grooves. Replace the tyre before it reaches that level, since that is the legal limit. Ask the seller to confirm the moulded tread depth indicators on the new tyre as well.

Stewardship fee on tyres

Since 1 March 2024, tyres sold in New Zealand must be sold under the accredited tyre scheme, and a stewardship fee applies to regulated tyres under the Waste Minimisation (Tyres) Regulations 2023. Ask whether the fee is included in the quoted price, so that two offers can be compared fairly.

Season and timing

October is spring here, so buying now gives you time before the summer riding season from December to February. Winter runs from June to August. If you ride through it, a tyre with good grip on wet roads is worth the extra cost.

Sizes, delivery and what to ask

Sizes are metric, for example 80/90-14 or 140/80-18, so copy the size from the sidewall of the old tyre. Sellers in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Tauranga quote in NZ$, so say which city you need delivery to and whether the price includes delivery and fitting.

Describe your bike model, the tyre size, front or rear, the intended use (for example road, touring or sport) and your city in the request. BlaBlaPrice's AI reads it, asks for any missing details, then searches sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. Creating a request is free: start on the home page or look at the tyres, rims & wheels section.
