Second-Hand Tyres in Ballarat
You don’t need to buy brand new to drive safe. At ARB Budget Tyres in Ballarat, second-hand tyres are a smart, affordable option without cutting corners. We don’t sell just anything with tread—we handpick every tyre based on quality, condition and safety.
Each second-hand tyre is pressure tested, tread-checked and ready to go. Whether you're replacing a single flat or fitting out the whole car, we’ll match the right size, load rating and pattern to your needs. Ute, 4X4, sedan or small hatch—we’ve got you sorted.
And you won’t be digging through a dusty pile to find what fits. Our range is organised, fresh and constantly updated. Come by and see what’s in stock or call 0413 786 820 to check availability today.
Second-Hand Tyres That Still Deliver
Buying used shouldn’t mean rolling the dice. We make second-hand tyres a safe bet by offering only those that meet strict standards. Every tyre gets checked inside and out—not just for tread, but for age, repairs, damage and wear patterns that could affect performance.
We stock a rotating range for most vehicles, including tougher options for 4WDs and mud tyres for off-roaders. Need a spare to get through rego? Trying to save money on a leased car? Just want something affordable to tide you over? We’ll help you find something safe and roadworthy without pressure.
We’re upfront about what you’re buying, how long it’ll last and where it’s best used. No guesswork, no surprises—just solid tyres at prices that make sense.
Are second-hand tyres safe to use?
Yes, if they’ve been properly inspected and are in good condition. The key is to ensure they meet safety standards: no sidewall damage, plenty of tread, no patches in critical areas, and no signs of ageing such as cracking.
Reputable tyre shops will test second-hand tyres for pressure retention, structural integrity and tread depth before selling them. Avoid buying used tyres from private sellers unless you can properly inspect them.
How much tread should second-hand tyres have?
Second-hand tyres should have at least 4mm of tread to be considered worthwhile, though the legal limit in Australia is 1.6mm. That said, anything under 3mm starts to lose effectiveness in wet conditions.
Always check that the tread is worn evenly and that there are no bald spots, cuts or embedded debris.
Can second-hand tyres be used for roadworthy certificates?
Yes, if the tyres meet roadworthy standards. That means the tread depth must be above 1.6mm, with no structural damage, bulges, exposed cords or significant repairs. They must also match in size and type across the same axle.
A used tyre in good condition can absolutely pass a roadworthy, and many drivers use them to save costs before selling or re-registering a vehicle.
