Tread, size and age

Listings show tread in millimetres, from about 4mm to 8mm, so ask for the measured depth rather than a guess. Read the size from the sidewall: 215/65R16 means a 215mm width, a 65 per cent profile and a 16-inch rim. Ask for the year of manufacture too, because a repaired tyre must be returned to within safe tolerance of the date it was made.

Rules that apply here

The waste minimisation regulations for tyres took effect on 1 March 2024, and everyone who imports or sells tyres must be registered. Storing tyres outdoors on your property is a permitted activity under the national environmental standard, with no conditions attached. One manufacturer's warranty policy applies only to tyres bought and used within New Zealand, so check the terms before you buy from abroad.

Season and timing

New Zealand has summer from December to February and winter from June to August. October is the time to buy if you want tyres for the summer months. For the winter months, June to August, plan the change early, so the tyres are fitted before the cold weather arrives.

What to write in the request

Give the tyre size, the season you need the tyres for, the remaining tread in millimetres, the quantity (one, two or four), the year, and whether you need fitting. Name your city among Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Tauranga, so the seller can say whether they deliver or you collect, and state your budget in NZ dollars.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the tyres in your own words in the chat, and BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for any missing details, then looks through sellers' websites and listings in New Zealand and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them.
