PostHeaderIcon Frequently Asked Questions on our Tyre Auctions!

Here at tyres for sale, we often get asked similar questions on our Auctions, so in the interests of all here are the top 5.

Can you do them for $xxx???

Well this is easy to answer, we sell our tyres at the best price we can, often half of retail! Please be aware of this and don’t waste your time asking for more discount.

Can you freight them to here, there or anywhere???

Yes… if you organize it and get the freight company to pick up from our premises in Manukau or East tamaki.. you can freight them wherever you like. ( goods must be paid for first of course. )

Can you provide a picture of the tyres???

Sometimes we can, however what people hopefully realize is that one tyre looks very much like another, our feedback shows we are supplying what we state so PLEASE BELIEVE US!!!!! It may sound to good to be true, but just check our feedback to be assured.

How old are these tyres???

We often get asked this question, as though we are selling some ten year old tyres that have nearly cracked and gone hard from old age ha ha ha…. all our tyres are off brand new vehicles so only a few months old.

Can I view the tyres???

This is another common question, now the only reason you would want to view them is if you do not believe that the auction is accurate, so again please check our feedback, realize we are the real deal, and get a great deal for yourself today!!!!!

PostHeaderIcon Tyre Pressure

tyre pressureOne of the most common questions that you get asked when you work in a tyre shop is “What pressure should I run my tyres at?”. Its a tricky one to answer as often what the car manufacturer recommends will give you a nice comfortable ride but not be the best for the tyres.

Personally I tend to run my tyres quite high. I have a Ford Falcon XR6 and run around 34 – 36 PSI in the tyres, that gives me two benefits – 1/ A nice firm ride 2/ Long lasting tyres.

It seems obvious when I mention it but is not always thought about – cooler tyres last longer. If you run your tyres too soft, they will heat up and hot rubber burns faster than cool rubber. If in doubt put a little extra in your tyres.

Here are my 3 commandments for tyre pressure.

  • Front wheel drives – put 2 more pounds in your front tyres over the rear, the front is much heavier on a front wheel drive car. 34 and 32 would be a good pressure for medium vehicles, 32 and 30 for smaller front wheel drives.
  • Big cars – Falcons, Maximas, Commodores and similar run at least 34 – 36 PSI in your tyres to achieve reasonable wear from them.
  • 4WD vehicles – 40 PSI is a good guideline, big heavy vehicles with expensive tyres!

PostHeaderIcon June update – cheap tyres keep on rolling!

As we continue to sell set after set we have been getting fantastic feedback from our buyers. I had a guy drive all the way down from Whangarei on the weekend, just to pick up a set of 4WD tyres. We also dropped a set of 19 Inch Bridgestone to a freight depot for another purchaser in Nelson for his holden Senator.
