Why we do not sell part-worn tyres

What you cannot see

A part-worn tyre may have run flat, been kerbed hard, or carry an internal cut invisible from the outside. Casing damage is often only detectable with the tyre demounted, and nobody demounts stock before selling it at a roadside stall.

Illegal sidewall repairs and multiple overlapping plugs are common in the second-hand trade, and either can fail catastrophically at speed.

Age is the other problem

A part-worn tyre with good tread may be eight years old. Rubber hardens with age, wet grip falls, and in Kenya's heat that ageing is accelerated.

You are also buying an unknown storage history. Tyres stored in sunlight degrade far faster.

The cheaper safe route

If budget is the constraint, a new tyre from the good end of the value tier costs less than most people assume, and it comes with a known age, a warranty and no hidden history.

Tell us your budget honestly and we will show you what is genuinely available in your size. If nothing safe exists at that price, we will say so.

If any of this raises a question about your own car, bring it in. The tyre safety check is free and takes ten minutes, and we will give you a written summary whether or not you buy anything.
