Tyre Shops
1 business you can compare and book online.
Tyre shops supply and fit new tyres, balance wheels, perform wheel alignments, repair punctures and rotate tyres. People book when tread wears down toward the legal minimum of 1.5 mm, before long road trips, after a puncture, or when the car pulls or vibrates. Many shops also check brakes and suspension while the wheels are off.

How to choose a good Tyre Shop
- Compare fitted prices: fitting, balancing, valves and old tyre disposal can add $30 to $60 per tyre.
- Check reviews for whether the shop recommends what you need, not just the dearest premium tyre.
- Ask whether wheel alignment is checked or included; new tyres wear fast on a misaligned car.
- Confirm they stock your size or can get it same-day, especially SUV and European fitments.
- Look for shops offering free rotation and puncture repairs with tyres purchased.
- No occupational licence applies to tyre fitting, so reputation, reviews and insurance are your quality checks.
Questions to ask before you book
- What is the total fitted price per tyre, including balancing, valves and disposal?
- What is the manufacture date on the tyres you are fitting?
- Do I need two tyres or four, and which axle should the newest tyres go on?
- Is a wheel alignment recommended with this fitting, and what does it cost?
- Can you repair my puncture, or is it too close to the sidewall to be safe?
What does a tyre shop cost in Australia?
Budget tyres for a small car cost roughly $100 to $160 each fitted, mid-range $150 to $250, and premium, SUV or 4WD tyres $250 to $500 or more. Fitting and balancing, where charged separately, runs $25 to $50 per tyre, a wheel alignment $80 to $150, and a puncture repair $30 to $60. Run-flats and low-profile sizes cost more. Prices vary widely by size and brand, and quotes include GST.
Frequently asked questions
What is the legal minimum tyre tread depth in Australia?
1.5 mm across the face of the tyre, in every state and territory, with tread wear indicators in the grooves showing when you reach it. Worn tyres risk a fine and defect notice, and wet braking deteriorates well before the legal limit, so many shops recommend replacing around 3 mm.
Do I need to replace tyres in pairs or as a full set?
Replace at least in pairs across an axle so grip is even, and fit the newest tyres to the rear, which helps wet-weather stability on both front and rear wheel drive cars. All-wheel-drive vehicles are pickier: large tread depth differences can strain the drivetrain, so check your handbook.
How often should I get a wheel alignment?
Roughly every 10,000 km, when fitting new tyres, or whenever the car pulls to one side or the steering wheel sits off-centre. Potholes and gutter strikes knock alignment out easily on Australian roads. At $80 to $150 it is far cheaper than the uneven tyre wear it prevents.
Can any puncture be repaired?
No. Under Australian standards, repairs are only permitted in the central tread area, and only if the tyre has not been run flat and damaged internally. Sidewall or shoulder punctures, large holes, or tyres worn near the limit need replacement. A proper repair is a plug-patch applied from inside the tyre.
Are cheap tyres safe?
Tyres sold in Australia must meet the same basic standards, and reputable budget brands are fine for gentle urban driving. Where they lag is wet braking, noise and lifespan. If you drive highways in rain or carry loads, mid-range or premium rubber is usually worth the difference.
