FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
Are second hand tyres safe to use?
Second hand tyres can be perfectly safe when properly inspected and sourced from reputable providers. Safety depends on several factors including tread depth, sidewall condition, age, and whether the tyre has suffered any internal damage. In Australia, the legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm, but it’s recommended to replace tyres before they reach that point. A good second hand tyre should have no punctures, visible cracking, or bulges, and ideally come from a controlled source—such as trade-ins from vehicles where all four tyres were replaced. Avoid tyres from unknown sellers or roadside deals where quality checks may not have been performed. For peace of mind, look for tyres that have been pressure-tested and visually inspected by qualified fitters.
How long do second hand tyres last?
The lifespan of second hand tyres depends on their condition at the time of purchase and how the vehicle is driven afterward. If a tyre still has 60–80% of its original tread and is well maintained (kept inflated properly, rotated, and aligned), it could last tens of thousands of kilometres. However, second hand tyres usually have a shorter lifespan than new ones and are best suited for lower-mileage drivers, temporary use, or budget-conscious repairs. It’s also important to consider the tyre’s age—even if the tread looks good, rubber compounds can degrade over time, especially after five to six years.
Why choose second hand tyres over new ones?
Second hand tyres offer a cost-effective solution for many drivers. They’re especially useful if you're replacing a single tyre to match existing ones, preparing to sell your vehicle, or just trying to keep costs down. Quality used tyres can still deliver good performance, especially if they come from well-known brands with plenty of tread left. They’re also a more environmentally friendly choice, helping reduce waste and extending the usable life of materials. That said, it's crucial to assess them properly—if in doubt, have a professional check their condition before fitting.
