Treadivo: get same day tyre delivery and fitting across Australia
The quickest, most reliable way to get tyres delivered and fitted in Australia is to order online with your rego or tyre size, pick a delivery point (home, work or a local workshop), then book a verified mobile or workshop fitter, often with the option of same day confirmation. Some online platforms package this whole flow, with transparent pricing shown before you pay.
TL;DR:
- Mobile fitting is most suitable for drivers with flat, level parking spaces and smaller tyres, but it may struggle with complex or specialist tyres.
- Workshop fitting is preferable for tasks requiring wheel alignment, larger rims, or diagnostic services that mobile units cannot provide.
- Itemised quotes that separately list labour, parts, travel, and disposal costs allow for better comparison and avoid unexpected charges.
- Regulations require a minimum tread depth of 1.5 millimetres across 75% of the tyre, with recommendations to replace tyres closer to 3 millimetres for safety.
- Choose a tyre provider that verifies fitters, offers transparent upfront pricing, and supplies clear booking confirmations with an estimated arrival window.

How online tyre delivery and fitting services work
The process starts with a search, not a shopping cart. You enter your vehicle registration, select your car’s make and model, or type in the tyre size stamped on your current sidewall, and the system matches you to compatible tyres. This step matters because fitting the wrong size or load rating is both a safety issue and a common reason tyres get rejected at installation.
Once you’ve picked tyres, you choose where they land. Some drivers get tyres sent straight to a workshop they already use. Others prefer delivery to a mobile fitter who comes to a home or office car park. Booking calendars typically show arrival windows rather than exact times, and same day or next day slots depend on local stock and fitter availability.
Payment usually happens in two stages. Checkout confirms the tyre purchase and locks in a fitting slot, while any additional costs (call out fees, disposal, alignment) get confirmed once the fitter has assessed the vehicle. Reputable platforms vet their fitters before listing them, so it’s worth asking how a provider verifies the people turning up at your door.
The typical timeline runs like this:
- Order tyres online by matching rego, model or size to compatible stock.
- Choose a delivery and fitting location, whether that’s home, work or a workshop.
- Confirm a fitting slot, with same day options where stock and fitters allow.
- Have tyres delivered directly to the fitter or to your chosen address.
- Complete fitting, balancing and disposal, then receive an itemised invoice.
Most orders complete within a couple of days, though metro areas often see same day turnaround while regional postcodes can take longer due to fewer local fitters and less frequent freight runs.
Delivery and fitting options: mobile, workshop or collection
Not every fitting scenario is the same, and the right delivery model depends on your vehicle, your parking situation and whether you need anything beyond a straight tyre swap.
Mobile fitting suits drivers who want convenience and can offer a safe, level space to work in, such as a driveway or office car park. A fitter typically needs around 20 to 30 minutes per tyre and can often confirm a same day slot when stock is available locally. Mobile fitting struggles in tight apartment car parks with no flat surface, and it’s usually unsuitable for specialist tyres that need workshop equipment, such as large 4x4 rims or run flat tyres requiring specific balancing gear.
Workshop fitting is the better call when you need a wheel alignment, have a complex tyre and rim combination, or want diagnostic checks done on the same visit. Workshops carry hoists, balancers and alignment rigs that a mobile van simply can’t match, and for that specialist work they often turn the job around faster than waiting for a second mobile visit.
Click and collect or delivery only works when you’ve already got a booking slot with a local workshop, or you’re happy to drive the vehicle in yourself once the tyres arrive. The risk here is obvious: tyres sitting in a garage aren’t safety gear until someone fits them, so never treat delivery alone as the end of the job.
- A flat tyre at home usually calls for mobile fitting, provided there’s a flat spot to work from.
- Apartment living with no driveway access often means workshop fitting is more practical.
- Fleet vehicles benefit from workshop bookings that bundle fitting with routine servicing.
- Run flat tyres and larger aftermarket wheels are frequently workshop only jobs.
Pro Tip: Ask upfront whether your tyre size and wheel type suit mobile fitting, since a wasted call out fee is the most common complaint about the mobile model.
What tyre fitting usually includes and how prices are built
A standard fitting job typically covers removal of the old tyre, mounting the new one, wheel balancing, a new valve stem and disposal of the old tyre. Anything beyond that, such as wheel alignment, a TPMS sensor reset or fitting new rims, is usually quoted as an extra.
- Removal and refitting of the tyre onto the existing rim.
- Wheel balancing to prevent vibration at speed.
- A new valve stem is fitted as standard with most jobs.
- Responsible disposal of the old tyre.
- Optional extras: wheel alignment, TPMS reset, rim replacement.
Price is shaped by a handful of factors: tyre size and vehicle type (a small hatchback tyre costs less to fit than a light truck tyre), whether you’ve chosen mobile fitting (which often carries a travel or call out fee), and the time window you book (weekend or after hours slots can cost more). Whether alignment is bundled in or billed separately is one of the biggest swings between quotes, and a practical buyer guide notes that fitting prices vary widely by scope and access, which is why itemised quotes matter more than a single headline number.
A quote worth trusting itemises labour, travel, parts and disposal separately, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for rather than one bundled figure.
Before paying, insist on seeing each of those lines: labour for the fit and balance, any travel or call out charge, the cost of parts like valve stems, and the disposal fee for your old tyres. A quote that only shows a single total for “fitting” is harder to compare against a competitor and harder to query if something’s missing on the day.
Full set fitting typically costs more in total than a single tyre, simply because you’re paying the per tyre labour rate four times over, though many providers offer a lower per tyre rate when you book a full set in one visit.
How to book and prepare for tyre delivery and fitting
Getting the booking right the first time avoids delays and awkward on the day surprises.
- Have your vehicle registration or exact tyre size ready before you start searching.
- Confirm the tyre fitment matches your vehicle’s placard, not just what looks close.
- Choose your fitting location, whether that’s mobile, home, work or a workshop.
- Check same day availability if timing matters, since stock varies by postcode.
- Prepare a safe, level space with enough room for the fitter to work.
- Note any access issues, such as security gates or restricted parking, in your booking.
- Have your locking wheel nut key on hand if your vehicle uses one.
On the day, it’s reasonable to check the fitter’s identity against your booking confirmation, especially for mobile jobs at a home address. Ask to see their inspection notes on your existing tyres and wheels, confirm what’s included before any work starts, and request an itemised receipt once the job is done.
Before you book, it’s worth asking a few pointed questions: is there a travel fee for mobile fitting, does alignment cost extra, what’s the disposal fee, and what does the warranty and returns process look like if a tyre develops a fault.
Pro Tip: Photograph your wheels and any existing damage before the fitter arrives, so there’s no dispute later about what condition they were in beforehand.
Safety and Australian regulatory checks that affect tyre fitment
Australian rules set clear minimums for what counts as a legally fitted tyre. The NHVIM V3.1 section 5 guidance on wheels, tyres and hubs sets a minimum continuous tread depth of 1.5 millimetres in the principal grooves across at least 75% of the tyre’s width, and lists bulges, exposed cords and incompatible rim fitment among the reasons a tyre fails inspection.
The Australian Light Vehicle Standards Rules (ALVSR) go further, setting standards for tyre size and load capacity against the vehicle’s axle rating, along with restrictions on retreading and regrooving practices that fitters need to observe when installing replacement tyres.
Many fitters recommend replacing tyres nearer 3 millimetres of tread rather than waiting for the legal 1.5 millimetre minimum, since wet braking performance drops noticeably as tread wears down.
A fitter will check tread depth, look for cuts, bulges or sidewall damage, and confirm the tyre’s speed and load rating matches your vehicle’s placard before it goes anywhere near the car. If a tyre fails any of these checks, the honest answer is that it shouldn’t go on the vehicle at all, regardless of how the rest of the fitting job is going. You can check your own tyres beforehand using a simple tread depth check, and cross reference sizes against the vehicle placard using a tyre sizes directory before you book.
The practical takeaway is simple: ask your fitter to confirm compliance checks and record them on your handover paperwork, not just tell you verbally that everything’s fine.
Treadivo: how our platform simplifies delivered and fitted tyres
Certain platforms let you search by car model or tyre size, then match you to local fitters with transparent, itemised pricing shown before you check out. Some offer augmented reality tools to preview how a tyre might look on your vehicle, with checkout designed to be quick from search to confirmed booking.
Once you’ve booked, you should expect a written confirmation, the assigned fitter’s details, an arrival window for the job, and a final invoice that breaks down labour, parts, travel and disposal as separate lines rather than one lump sum. Same day fitting confirmations mean you know before you commit whether your job can be done today, not after you’ve already paid.
Whichever provider you use, these are the proofs worth checking for: is the fitter verified, is the pricing itemised before you pay, and do you get a clear booking confirmation with an arrival window. If a provider can’t show you those three things upfront, that’s a reasonable reason to look elsewhere.
Author recommendation: the most pragmatic approach for most drivers
Pick a provider that shows verified fitters and itemised pricing upfront, then book the earliest same day mobile slot if convenience is your priority. Switch to workshop fitting instead when you need an alignment, run flat tyres or specialist wheels that mobile vans can’t handle properly.

FAQ
How much should a tyre fitting cost?
Fitting costs vary by tyre size, vehicle type and whether you choose mobile or workshop fitting, with mobile jobs often carrying an extra travel fee. Always ask for an itemised quote covering labour, parts, travel and disposal before you book, so you can compare providers on the same basis.
What is the 3% rule for tyres?
There’s no official “3% rule” recognised in Australian tyre regulation. What fitters commonly reference instead is a practical safety threshold of around 3 millimetres of tread, well above the legal minimum, as the point where many recommend replacement for better wet braking performance.
Where can I buy cheap tyres online with delivery?
Online marketplaces that let you search by rego or tyre size, such as Treadivo’s tyres page, show transparent pricing upfront and connect you to local fitters for delivery and fitting in one booking. City guides covering fitting included pricing can also help you gauge what a fair price looks like in your area.
How much to get a set of tyres fitted?
A full set costs more in total than a single tyre since you’re paying the per tyre labour rate four times, though many providers reduce the per tyre rate when a full set is booked together. The exact figure depends on tyre size, vehicle type and whether alignment is included.
