Tyre Fitting

Professional Tyre Fitting in Pukekohe

Whether you've bought tyres online or need a fresh set from our range of over 2,000 tyres in stock, Carter's Tyres Pukekohe provides expert tyre fitting for all vehicle types. We fit tyres for cars, SUVs, 4x4s, utes, vans, trailers, and light commercial vehicles — quickly, safely, and at competitive prices.

Our fitting service goes beyond just bolting on a tyre. Every fitment includes professional mounting, computerised balancing, valve check, and tyre pressure set to manufacturer specs. We treat every vehicle like it's our own.

What's Included With Every Tyre Fitting

• Expert mounting — tyres fitted using modern equipment to prevent bead or rim damage
• Computerised wheel balancing — eliminates vibration for a smooth ride
• New valve or valve check — we replace old rubber valves and inspect TPMS sensors
• Correct inflation — pressures set to your vehicle manufacturer's specification
• Old tyre disposal — we remove and recycle your old tyres responsibly
• Torque to spec — wheel nuts tightened to the correct torque setting for your vehicle

Fitting Tyres You've Bought Elsewhere

Bought tyres online or from another supplier? No problem. We fit customer-supplied tyres at competitive rates. Just bring them in (or have them delivered to our shop at 63 Manukau Road, Pukekohe) and we'll handle the rest. Fitting starts from $25 per tyre including balancing and old tyre disposal.

Our Fitting Process

1. Vehicle inspection — We check your current tyres, note any suspension or alignment concerns, and confirm the correct tyre size
2. Old tyre removal — Wheels removed, old tyres dismounted and inspected for any rim damage
3. New tyre mounting — Tyres mounted using modern equipment with bead protection to avoid rim scratches
4. Computerised balancing — Each wheel balanced to eliminate vibrations at all speeds
5. Refit & torque — Wheels refitted and tightened to manufacturer's torque specification
6. Pressure & safety check — Final inflation to correct pressure and a visual safety check

Tyre Fitting Pricing

Fitting with tyre purchase: Included in the tyre price — no hidden extras.

Why Get Your Tyres Fitted Professionally?

DIY tyre fitting risks bead damage, incorrect balancing, wrong torque settings, and TPMS sensor damage. Professional fitting ensures:

• Tyres are correctly seated on the rim with no air leaks
• Wheels are balanced to prevent premature bearing and suspension wear
• TPMS sensors are handled carefully (a broken sensor costs $100+ to replace)
• Wheel nuts are torqued correctly — too loose and they can come off, too tight and you'll strip the studs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does tyre fitting take?

A standard 4-tyre fitting takes 30-45 minutes. Walk-ins are welcome, or book ahead to guarantee your spot.

Can you fit tyres I ordered online?

Yes. Have them delivered to our shop at 63 Manukau Road, Pukekohe, or bring them in yourself. We fit all brands and sizes.

Do you fit run-flat tyres?

Yes. We have the specialist equipment needed for run-flat fitment. These tyres have stiffer sidewalls and require careful handling.

Should I get an alignment with new tyres?

We strongly recommend it. An alignment check with new tyres protects your investment and ensures even wear from day one. We can do it at the same visit.

Can't get to the shop?

No problem — our mobile tyre service covers all of Pukekohe and Franklin. We'll fit your tyres at your home or workplace.
