JCM Direct Tyres is a family-run tyre shop at 8 Birmingham Drive in Middleton, Christchurch. Its distinctive feature is the secondhand stock: the shop says it has thousands of checked secondhand tyres, including for Hilux, Ranger, Navara and Triton utes, alongside new tyres from major brands. It also stocks steel rims, alloy wheels, caravan and trailer wheels, and spare wheels, and it ships across New Zealand.
For classic or restoration projects, the shop carries hard-to-find retro rims and refurbished rims, and it offers white wall and white writing tyres in 13, 14 and 15 inch sizes. Tyre and rim packages are sold in store.
Customers describe quick, friendly help and good value, with several saying the shop found a spare wheel or matched tyre specs that other places could not. One sourced a full-size spare for an uncommon car, and another said the team found a tyre to match a set of Pirellis. A customer who had brought several cars for tyres says the quality is solid.
Carparks are available from the Hands Road and Birmingham Drive entrances. Open Locally lists one other tyre shop within one kilometre, Tony's Tyre and Auto Care on Birmingham Drive, about 0.7 km away and rated 4.7 from 253 reviews.
