A single set of tyres – four tyres or complete wheels with rims – is too heavy and too bulky for convenient self-transport, but often a nuisance by parcel: scratched alloy rims, lost single wheels, no fixed delivery date. Speed Logistics sends sets of tyres palletised as direct transport door to door – for car dealers, workshops, vehicle traders and fleets.
Typical cases: the customer moves and the stored winter wheels are to go to the new workshop, a sold vehicle is handed over without the fitted second set, or a high-value rim set goes for reconditioning. You receive a fixed price within a few hours, and the dispatch team is available 24/7. Collection is at the business or the end customer – nationwide and throughout Europe; for stored wheel sets we coordinate the collection date directly with the tyre warehouse, including notification and storage-slip reference.
What belongs to sending a set of tyres
- Complete wheels with alloy or steel rims – rim-friendly padded and lashed
- Loose sets of tyres without rims – lying in a composite on the pallet
- High-value rim sets for reconditioning, powder coating or as an accessory purchase
- Wheel sets with accessories such as wheel bolts, hub caps or TPMS sensors, packed separately
A standard set of car complete wheels weighs 60–120 kg depending on the size and fits on a Euro pallet – ideal for transport in the Sprinter or as a part load on one of our direct lanes.
Rim-friendly packing and securing
Complete wheels are stacked lying on top of each other, with cardboard inserts or padding between the rims to prevent scratches to the paint and rim flange. The stack is fixed on the pallet with stretch film and a lashing strap; valves and TPMS sensors stay protected this way. For particularly high-value forged or special rims we additionally recommend an individual carton per wheel – we advise you before collection which packaging makes sense for your set. If packaging material is missing, the driver brings a pallet, film and intermediate layers by agreement and secures the set on site. You do not need to reduce the tyre pressure – transport at operating pressure is uncritical.
Process: from quote to delivery
You give us the wheel size or dimensions and weight, the collection and delivery address and the desired date. After you release the fixed price, a firmly assigned vehicle collects the set – with a tail lift if needed, in case neither forklift nor ramp is available – and delivers it directly without transhipment. Because all four wheels travel together on one pallet, there is no risk of separated or lost single wheels as in the parcel network. Car dealers and workshops with regular wheel-set shipments we bundle onto fixed routes – so single shipments stay economical even in small quantities.
Costs and delivery options
Costs depend on the lane, lead time and deadline pressure; as a palletised single shipment, a set of tyres is comparatively cheap to schedule when it runs as a part load on a suitable route. Urgent sets – such as before a vehicle sale or seasonal change – we run as an express direct transport with delivery the same or next working day. You receive the transparent fixed price without hidden fees in advance – for the enquiry, the wheel size, postcodes of the collection and destination address and the desired date are enough; a photo of the packed set helps with the vehicle choice.
