Used tyres in Singapore: prices, tread limit and what to ask for

Updated 31 October 2026

Approximately, according to sellers' websites, October 2026, a used or unused 16 inch car tyre in Singapore is listed from about S$40 to S$70, a compact spare tyre from about S$28 to S$63, and a used alloy or steel wheel from about S$64 to S$222. Prices depend on size, tread and fitting. For current offers in your area, post a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Tread depth and inspection

In Singapore all vehicles must keep tyre tread depth at or above 1.6 mm. A tyre below that fails LTA inspection, and an insurance claim can be rejected. Tyre warranties often ask for at least 5 mm of tread before a claim is accepted, and some exclude commercial or private hire vehicles. Ask the seller to state the tread depth in millimetres in writing, and check the date code on the sidewall for the year of manufacture.

Season and rain

Singapore has a tropical climate: hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. Heavy rain makes worn tread less safe, so check the tread on the day you buy and avoid a used tyre close to the 1.6 mm limit. A tyre that is fine in the dry season may not give enough grip on a wet road.

How used tyres are sold and fitted here

Sellers list single tyres, sets of two and complete wheels, so check how many tyres the price covers before you compare. Ask whether fitting, balancing and disposal of the old tyre are included in the S$ price, and whether the seller can fit it at your place. Name your area, such as Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, and ask the delivery or fitting time to that area.

What to write in your request

Give the tyre size exactly as printed on the sidewall, for example 225/60R16, the quantity and the minimum tread you accept in millimetres. Say whether you want a spare tyre, a tyre or a wheel, and name the brand if it matters. Add the season the tyre is for, the year you want and your budget in Singapore dollars. Clear details let sellers quote the right item the first time.
