replacement tire market

Not necessarily spare tires, just replacements for tires that have worn out, or were punctured, etc.

tire aftermarket

Another suggestion : )


"The North American tire aftermarket for passenger cars and light trucks has experienced reasonable gains in both unit shipment and revenues between 2000 and 2003. For 2004, unit increases are expected to be in line with previous growth. However, mounting labor and material costs are expected to dramatically influence the average price of light vehicle replacement tires in North America."

"The sheer size of North America and the highly mobile nature of its society positively influence the tire aftermarket. Moreover, the general decline in road conditions due to harsher weather conditions and the government’s lack of timely management of road infrastructure contribute to increased tire wear and tear that translates into tire replacement."
Example sentence:

...revenues of the Indonesia tire aftermarket (replacement market) are growing. It generated a value of US$1.09 billion in 2005...

As the automotive aftermarket continues to evolve, traditional tire dealers are increasingly expanding into the automotive service business.
