Part Worn Tyres Manchester

Used and Second Hand Tyres in Manchester

Part worn tyres, also called used or second hand tyres, have been taken off a vehicle with legal tread still remaining. They can be a sensible way to keep an older car or a second vehicle on the road for less, or to replace a single damaged one to match the others on the axle.

The law in the UK is strict about what can be sold as part worn, and we follow it. Under the Motor Vehicle Tyres (Safety) Regulations 1994 a part worn must:

• Have at least 2mm of tread across the full width and all the way round
• Have no cuts, bulges, lumps or exposed cord or ply
• Pass an inflation check before sale, unless it is still on its original wheel
• Be clearly marked “PART WORN” on the sidewall in letters at least 4mm high
• Have any previous repairs carried out to the correct standard

How Much Are Part Worn Tyres?

The price depends on the size, the brand and how much tread is left. Common car sizes cost less than larger or low profile sizes. Fitting and balancing at our bay is included in the price we quote you. Call 0161 205 1362 with your size for a price, or ask us to price a new budget option at the same time, as the difference is often smaller than people expect.

Part Worn or New?

A part worn has less tread than a new one, so it will need replacing sooner. If you cover high mileage, drive a lot on the motorway or carry heavy loads, a new budget or mid-range brand usually works out better value. We stock both, so you can choose on the day. See the brands we stock.
