Action Tyres is Wellington's only family owned, independent industrial and commercial tyre service centre, based at 7 Wareham Place, Seaview, Lower Hutt. The business supplies and services tyres across nearly every vehicle type: light truck tyres, heavy TBR (truck and bus radials), industrial and OTR tyres for forklifts, cranes, earthmoving and forestry equipment, agricultural tyres for farm vehicles, turf tyres for ride-on mowers, golf carts, quad bikes and ATVs, and tyres and wheels for all passenger vehicles including cars, vans, utes and 4x4s.
As an independently owned operation, Action Tyres says it has the ability to purchase an extensive range of tyres from top brands, helping match the right tyre to each vehicle and application. Beyond tyre supply, the team offers fitting, mag wheel fitting, wheel alignment and balancing, tyre rotation, puncture repairs, retreads, battery testing and replacement, and safety checks.
For commercial and fleet customers, Action Tyres runs a fleet management system with scheduled inspections to catch issues before they affect operations, backed by a 24-hour, on-call mobile service for urgent work. One long-standing client, Bill Long of John Everiss Contracting, describes using the service for over 20 years and finding it reliable, efficient, and available 24/7.
Action Tyres also offers a free tyre safety check for anyone unsure about their tread condition, and is linked with National Tyre Assistance.
From forklifts and farm tractors to family hatchbacks, Action Tyres in Seaview, Lower Hutt has built its business around a simple claim: it's Wellington's only family owned, independent industrial and commercial tyre service centre.
Being independently owned matters to how Action Tyres operates — it gives the business the flexibility to purchase an extensive range of tyres from top brands, rather than being tied to a single supplier's lineup. That range shows up in just how broad the vehicle types it services actually are: light truck tyres and heavy TBR (truck and bus radials) for trucks, buses and cargo vehicles; industrial, OTR and agricultural tyres for forklifts, cranes, earthmoving and forestry equipment, and farm vehicles; turf tyres for ride-on mowers, golf carts, quad bikes, ATVs and even wheelbarrows; and a full passenger vehicle service for cars, vans, utes and 4x4s.
Action Tyres doesn't just sell rubber — its service list covers tyre fitting, mag wheel fitting, wheel alignment, wheel balancing, tyre rotation, tyre maintenance, puncture repairs, retreads, battery checks and replacement, and safety checks. On the passenger vehicle side specifically, the business explains why several of these matter: wheel balancing helps wheels roll smoothly and wear evenly while improving ride comfort; wheel alignment protects not just tyre life but also brakes, suspension and steering; and regular tyre rotation keeps wear even across all four tyres, extending their lifespan and improving safety.
Battery care is treated as part of the same visit — manufacturers generally recommend testing car batteries at least twice a year, and Action Tyres notes that winter is particularly hard on batteries, making late autumn and spring good times to get one checked. If a replacement is needed, they'll fit a suitable one on the spot.
For commercial customers, Action Tyres runs a dedicated fleet management system, scheduling regular inspections to catch tyre issues before they affect a fleet's output. When something urgent comes up, the business offers a 24-hour, on-call mobile service — recognising that for fleet operators, time off the road is money lost. One long-time client, Bill Long, Director of John Everiss Contracting, has used Action Tyres to service an extensive fleet of vehicles and machinery for over 20 years, describing the service as reliable, efficient, and consistently available around the clock.
Action Tyres is upfront about why tyre pressure matters: an under-inflated tyre concentrates its contact with the road toward the outer edges of the tread, leading to rapid, uneven wear. It also increases rolling resistance — meaning more fuel is needed to turn the wheel — and is one of the leading causes of the cracking that can eventually lead to a blowout and loss of vehicle control. It's this kind of safety-first thinking that underpins the free tyre check the business offers to anyone unsure about their current tread.
Beyond long-term commercial relationships, Action Tyres has earned goodwill from everyday customers too. One reviewer, Therese from Wellington, described a technician who was already finishing up a truck tyre job and on his way back to the depot when he spotted her with a flat — he pulled over, fitted her spare, and checked whether the damaged tyre could still be repaired.
Action Tyres is based at 7 Wareham Place, Seaview, Lower Hutt, and can be reached by phone, text message, or email. The business is also linked with National Tyre Assistance and keeps an active presence on Facebook and Instagram.
