Second-Hand Tyres in Nerang

Can you get second-hand tyres in Nerang?

Yes. A Grade Tyre & Auto at Unit 2/23 Lawrence Drive, Nerang supplies and fits second-hand tyres as well as new ones. Every used tyre is checked for legal tread depth and for sidewall and internal condition before it goes on a car.

The short version

What's involved

Second-hand tyres have a reputation problem, and some of it is earned. A used tyre fitted without being checked properly is a genuine risk.

Done properly, it is simply the sensible answer for some cars. If you are selling a car, replacing one odd tyre, running an older vehicle, or you have just failed a safety certificate on tread depth, paying new-tyre money is not always the right call.

The rule here is straightforward: a used tyre has to be legal and sound before it goes on, or it does not go on. If nothing suitable is in stock for your car, you will be told that rather than sold something that nearly fits.

When second-hand makes sense

You are selling the car and need it to pass a safety certificate
One tyre has been damaged and the other three still have plenty of life
The car is older and you are not planning to keep it long
You need a legal spare
Budget is the constraint, and the alternative is driving on something illegal

What every used tyre is checked for

Tread depth well clear of the 1.5mm legal minimum, measured across the full width
Even wear — a tyre worn on one edge came off a car with a problem
Sidewall cuts, bulges, kerbing and age cracking
Signs of a previous repair, and whether it was done properly
Correct size, load rating and speed rating for your vehicle
Age — rubber hardens over time regardless of tread left

Why here

Why customers use us for this

Checked, not just sold

The condition checks above are the whole point. A used tyre that has not been inspected is not a bargain.

You will be told when new is the better buy

If you are keeping the car for years, or the sizes we have do not suit it, second-hand is the wrong answer and you will hear that.

Fitted and balanced the same as a new tyre

Same machine, same balance, new valve. A used tyre fitted badly defeats the purpose.

Questions

Second-Hand Tyres — common questions

Are second-hand tyres legal in Queensland?

Yes, provided the tyre meets the same requirements as any tyre in use — at least 1.5mm of tread across the tread surface, no sidewall damage or exposed cord, and the correct size and load rating for the vehicle. A used tyre that meets those requirements is legal and will pass a safety certificate inspection.

Will a second-hand tyre pass a roadworthy?

Yes, if it is in legal condition. A safety certificate inspection assesses the condition of the tyre fitted to the car, not whether it was bought new or used.

Can I mix a second-hand tyre with my existing tyres?

It depends on the car and on how worn the others are. Tyres should be matched in size and construction across an axle, and some all-wheel-drive vehicles are sensitive to differences in rolling diameter. Bring the car in and it can be checked properly.

Do you have second-hand tyres in my size?

Stock changes constantly, so call the workshop on (07) 5591 2339 with your tyre size and it can be checked. The size is on the sidewall — something like 205/55R16.
