Where the listings come from
Shop listings are pulled from Overture Maps, an open, openly-licensed database of real-world businesses maintained by the Overture Maps Foundation and built from sources including OpenStreetMap. We take every business Overture categorises as a tire shop within roughly 15 miles of each city's center — the same kind of business data that powers many mapping apps. Each shop is assigned to the single closest city, so the same business never appears on two city pages.
Overture publishes a confidence score for each business. We drop anything below 0.5, and rank what remains by that score and by distance from the city center — with shops whose names explicitly signal used tires listed first. Place data is used under the CDLA-Permissive-2.0 licence, © Overture Maps Foundation.
What "used tire shop" means here
Open mapping data doesn't have a way to tag a shop as specifically "used tires" versus new — that distinction doesn't exist as a map category. In practice, most independent local tire shops buy, sell, and trade used tires as a normal part of their business, alongside new inventory. We flag shop names that explicitly mention "used," "budget," or "discount" as a signal, but the absence of that word in a shop's name doesn't mean they don't carry used tires — call ahead to confirm they have your size in stock.
The verification bar
A city only gets a full shop listing page once we've found at least 3 distinct local shops for it. Cities that don't clear that bar show an honest "no verified local shops yet" page instead of a thin or padded one.
No pay-to-play
Listing a shop on this site is free. We do not charge shops for placement, and paid partnerships never affect which shops appear or in what order.
What we can't verify
We don't call every shop to confirm live used-tire inventory, current hours, or pricing — that changes too often for a directory to track in real time. Treat what's listed here as a starting point for your own call, not a guarantee.
