We also support container and bulk supply. See import and container orders.

126 people behind the counter
Our 126-strong team covers sales, warehousing, delivery and technical support. Contact the sales desk for availability, pricing and product advice.
Established in 2011, we entered tyre retail in 2013 and wholesale in 2018. That experience helps us understand the day-to-day needs of tyre dealers.
Dedicated to trade supply
GB Tyres focuses on wholesale supply. Fitting and mobile services are provided through our dealer network, supporting your relationship with the end customer.
Ghost shipment is available for delivery directly to your customer under your name and with your paperwork.
Support beyond the tyre
Fleet i24 gives dealer partners a 24/7 truck tyre breakdown network. Scrap tyre collection runs nationwide, and for every house-brand tyre you order we take back a scrap tyre of the same or similar size. There is a casing credit scheme for retreadable casings, foam filling, data feeds and APIs for your website, and point-of-sale support. All of it is on dealer support.
The Tyre Desk is open to everyone
Guides, reference tables and calculators — load index and speed symbol, IF and VF, ply rating, OTR star ratings, rolling circumference, foam fill volumes. Explore these free resources at the Tyre Desk.
