Wholesale Used Tires & Container Export – FAQ
Quick answers for importers, distributors and resale chains sourcing wholesale used tires, part worn tyres and container loads from Europe.
ARE YOU WHOLESALE USED TIRES SUPPLIERS OR A SINGLE-TIRE RETAILER?
European Tyre Distributor is a wholesale used tires supplier and used tyre exporter based in Greece, in business since 1992. We sell exclusively in container loads (20ft and 40ft HQ) and pallet loads of OTR - not single tires. Importers, distributors and resale chains in 60+ countries source from us.
HOW DOES A CONTAINER LOAD OF USED TIRES (40FT HQ) WORK?
A container load of used tires is a full 40ft HQ shipment loaded directly from our warehouse in Netherlands. A 40ft HQ holds up to 3,000 passenger tires, 1,800 SUV/light truck tires, 350 TBR truck/bus tires, or up to 110 OTR tires. We bundle, photograph and seal the container, then dispatch FOB Strijen or CIF to your port.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PART WORN TYRES AND WHOLESALE USED TYRES IN BULK?
Part worn tyres are individual second-hand tyres typically sold one at a time to consumers. Wholesale used tyres in bulk are the same product graded and exported in container quantities to B2B importers - our specialty. We supply both PCR (passenger) and commercial part-worn tyre stock to wholesalers, retreaders and resale chains worldwide.
WHICH CATEGORIES OF USED TIRES DO YOU EXPORT?
Five categories: passenger car (PCR), SUV / light truck, truck & bus radial (TBR), OTR & earthmover, and used agricultural tires. We also handle used commercial tires, heavy machinery tires and industrial tires on demand through our European sourcing network.
DO YOU SERVE AS USED TIRE DISTRIBUTORS FOR RESALE IN AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST AND LATIN AMERICA?
Yes. We are global used tire suppliers shipping to resale distributors in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic and 50+ other markets. Container loads are tailored to the size mix and grade that resells fastest in your region.
WHAT DOES EXPORT-QUALITY USED TIRES MEAN?
Export-quality means every tire has been hand-graded for sidewall integrity, tread depth (2.5-9 mm depending on grade), DOT age (max 6 years) and bead condition before it joins a container. We supply premium used tires wholesale, not mixed scrap.
