Used Tyres and Tyre Casings for Export: Grading, Sizes and Container Loading

Used tyres and casings are traded for reuse, retreading and recovery. Clear grading prevents disputes about condition and value.

Grading

Reusable tyres are graded by remaining tread depth (for example a minimum in millimetres), age, absence of repairs, cuts or bulges, and sidewall condition. Casings for retreading are judged on structural integrity rather than tread.

Size mix

Agree the rim sizes and size distribution you need, for example a share of 14–16 inch passenger tyres or 22.5 inch truck tyres, and whether brands are mixed or selected.

Loading and compliance

Tyres are usually laced in 40-foot high-cube containers to maximise pieces per unit. Import rules for used tyres vary widely; check your country's requirements before ordering.

What to include in your RFQ

State type (passenger, truck, casings), grade, size mix, quantity in containers, destination, Incoterm and any inspection you require before loading.
