If it has a wheel, we can sort it
Most tyre shops pick a lane. We never did. That is why a farmer, a fleet manager and someone with a flat wheelbarrow all end up at the same counter.

What we do
Everything tyres, in one place
Supply, fitting, repairs, alignment and on-site service. One provider for almost every type of tyre, which means one phone call instead of four.
New Tyres
Budget, mid-range and premium from the brands we trust. We stock what Waikato actually drives, and we can order in almost anything else within two to three working days.
Used Tyres
Quality second-hand tyres, every one fully safety-checked and balanced before it goes anywhere near your car. A sensible option when a full set is not in the budget.
Puncture Repairs
Most punctures are repaired while you wait. Quick, properly done, and a lot cheaper than replacing a tyre that did not need replacing.
Vulcanised Repairs
New raw rubber bonded into the damaged area under heat. A permanent repair for heavier tyres where a standard plug will not do.
Wheel Alignment
Four-wheel Hunter HawkEye alignment for cars, vans, utes, campers and longer or heavier vehicles that not every tyre shop can take.
Wheel Balancing
Every tyre we fit gets balanced. Rotations on request to even out wear and stretch the life of the set.

Why people stay with us
Independent means we can tell you the truth

No pressure to buy the most expensive option on the rack
Every price we quote is the fitted price, balancing and valves included
You deal with the owner and the same team every time
If we have to order it in, we tell you up front how long

Brands we stock
Premium, mid-range and budget,

Plus Petlas, Venom Power, Westlake, Evergreen, Royal Black and more. If we do not have it on the shelf, we will get it.
Wheel alignment
The cheapest way to make tyres last longer
A set of tyres is a real spend. An alignment is a fraction of that, and it is the difference between getting the full life out of them and replacing the fronts twice as often. Our four-wheel Hunter HawkEye system handles cars, vans, utes, campers and longer or heavier vehicles that a standard rack will not take.
Recommended every 10,000 km, or whenever you replace tyres
Stops uneven wear, pulling and that off-centre steering wheel
Before-and-after readings so you can see what changed

Mobile & on-site
Some jobs cannot drive to us
A tractor in a back paddock, a forklift mid-shift, a truck that cannot leave the yard. Our service truck goes out with the tyres and the gear and does the job where the machine is, so the downtime is measured in hours rather than days.

Common Questions
straight Answer
What type of tyres do you work on?
Pretty much anything with wheels. We work on cars, 4WDs, utes, trailers, bikes, loaders, tractors, quarry gear, and even wheelbarrows.
Do you sell both new and used tyres?
Yes. We stock a wide range of new tyres for all budgets and vehicle types, and also offer quality used tyres that are fully safety-checked and balanced before fitting.
How do I know what size tyres I need?
The easiest way is to check the sidewall of your current tyre. You will see a combination of numbers and letters, such as 205/55R16. Pop those three numbers into our tyre finder. If you are still not sure, come in and we will check it for you.
What is a vulcanised repair?
Vulcanising is a repair process in which we add new raw rubber to the damaged area of a tyre, then heat and bond it to create a strong, long-lasting repair.
Can you come to me for tyre repairs?
Yes. For bigger vehicles and equipment, such as tractors, loaders, or quarry machinery, we can travel to your site anywhere in the Waikato.
