When choosing the best tyres for your needs/vehicle, consider factors such as tyre size, driving conditions, and budget. Search our range and request pricing for tyres you believe will be a best fit for you. Or alternatively, our friendly staff at each of our branches can help suggest the best tyre for your needs.

Tyres should generally be replaced every 5-6 years or when the tread depth reaches the legal minimum tread depth 1.5mm. However, we recommend to change your tyres at 3mm or sometimes earlier depending on the terrain and season.

Regularly maintaining correct tyre pressure, rotating tyres, wheel alignments and avoiding harsh braking can help prolong the lifespan of your car tyres.

Consult your vehicle manual or tyre placard for the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure specifications. Or call in to your local Tyre General and we will check your tyre pressure for free.

The Tyrewise Stewardship Fee is a charge applied to the sale of tyres and covers the costs associated with the collection, recycling, and environmentally responsible disposal of used tyres. This fee is part of the Tyrewise product stewardship scheme, aimed at managing the end-of-life tyres in a sustainable manner, implemented by the New Zealand Government. The exact fee can vary depending on the type and size of the tyre. For the most current and detailed information, including specific fee amounts and categories, you may want to check the official Tyrewise website or contact them directly.
