Used car tyres in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$57 to A$575 (about $40 to $405). Be careful with this one: selling part-worn tyres is a regulated activity with specific legal requirements, and tyres near the legal minimum are not worth selling at all.
Selling car tyres in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
The resources industry brings people in on contracts and takes them out again, and a worker leaving at the end of a contract usually sells a whole household rather than shipping it. Those clear-outs are where the best-value listings come from.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Perth has around 2.1 million people in Western Australia, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bunbury, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Perth
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
What car tyres are worth
What lifts the price
- Tread depth well above the legal minimum
- Matching sets of four in the same size
What pulls it down
- Tread near or below the legal minimum
- Sidewall damage, bulges or cracking
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the tread depth and state it in millimetres
- Photograph the sidewall including size and date
Getting it ready
- Measure the tread depth across the whole width with a gauge, not by eye, and record the figure.
- Read the four-digit date code on the sidewall. Tyres age out regardless of tread, and buyers check this.

- Both sidewalls in full, showing there is no bulge, cut or crack
Put in the description
- Measured tread depth in millimetres, across the width
- Whether ever repaired, and confirmation there is no bulge, cut or sidewall cracking
Lifts in autumn as people prepare for winter and around MOT season. Common sizes with genuinely good tread sell quickly; worn or aged tyres do not sell at any price and should be recycled.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
