Introduction
For businesses in the automotive aftermarket, buying wholesale used tires by container is one of the most cost-effective and environmentally responsible ways to secure quality inventory. With tire costs rising globally and sustainability becoming a priority, wholesalers, distributors, and fleet operators are turning to trusted suppliers who can deliver consistent quality at scale.
Qingdao Royal Mile Co., Ltd. stands out as a global leader in the used tire and tire recycling industry, offering high-quality products that meet international standards.

Why Buy Used Tires Wholesale by Container?
1. Cost Savings
Purchasing by container allows importers to benefit from bulk pricing and lower transportation costs per unit. Compared with new tires, high-grade used tires can save businesses up to 40–60% while maintaining safe performance.
2. High Market Demand
Used tires are widely traded across Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, where affordability and accessibility are crucial. Retailers in these regions report consistent demand for passenger car tires (PCR), truck & bus tires (TBR), and SUV tires.
3. Sustainability and Recycling Benefits
Wholesale used tires extend product lifecycle and reduce waste. According to industry data, retreading and recycling can reduce tire waste by up to 70%, directly supporting global environmental protection goals.
