About Us

We're world famous – in Auckland!

Discount Tyres is Auckland’s leading independent supplier of the best brand-name tyres around, with five branches in the region. We are known for discounting prices, not quality.

Discount Tyres is what we do: budget tyres, cheap tyres, or just plain affordable tyres. Whatever you care to call them, they add up to the same thing — awesome value!

We sell and fit tyres for small cars, family cars, 4-wheel drives and SUVs, as well as high performance vehicles. Our Takapuna Tire Factory supplies new and used tyres at discounted wholesale prices to the motor trade Auckland-wide, and beyond.

Fantastic prices, near you!

Family motorist, fast-car fanatic, petrolhead, or fresh new garage franchise, you simply won’t find a better deal on Dunlop, Goodyear, BFGoodrich, Yokohama, Michelin, Pirelli, Falken, Duro and Hankook — at Discount Tyres we’ll give you the best price, first time.

You can find Discount Tyres branches and great tyre bargains at the following Auckland locations: Browns Bay, Takapuna, Glenfield, Henderson and Grey Lynn.

How did we get here?

Discount Tyres was founded by Ray Coyle, a man who knows a bit about tyres. He’d been in the trade since 1977 and was a business development manager for Dunlop in 1993 when he decided it was time for a fresh start.

He had spied a tyre business at a “great location”, Archers Road in Glenfield. The owner of John Cooper Automotive was none other than well-known tyre supremo Frank Allen. He sold Ray the business, and Ray set about building a reputation for supplying quality tyres at prices others couldn’t match, with a fast, efficient turnaround on fittings, wheel alignments and wheel balancing.

In 2006, he bought another outlet on Wairau Road, Takapuna. It was called Discount Tyres. The name stayed, and so did the philosophy. It became home to the Tire Factory, the wholesale division of Discount Tyres. Word spread. Demand spread.

Ray likes spreading good things around. In 2000 Ray opened his Browns Bay branch, followed by Henderson in 2006, and Grey Lynn in 2008. Where next? Ray Coyle is coy. He’s not saying, just yet anyway…
