My Summer Car is not just a game about assembling a car, but a whole survival simulation on Finnish roads, where every detail matters. Tires here are not just rubber rings, but the key to the safety, speed and even survival of your Satsuma or Ferndale. But where can you get them if the garage is empty and you have only the last ones? stamps? This article will reveal all the legal (and not so legal) ways to obtain tires - from official stores to abandoned barns where you can find rare Nokian Hakkapeliitta or cheap used tires.
We analyzed the map Peräjärvi, interviewed experienced players and even looked into the game code to collect up-to-date information for 2026. Here you will find not only locations, but also prices, risks (yes, in MSC you can go to jail for stealing tires!), as well as life hacks for saving money. For example, did you know that tires are Hayosiko can be removed without tools, and Gifu - only with the help of a jack? Or that winter tires are cheaper in summer, and vice versa? If not, read on.
1. Official stores: where to buy tires for money
The most reliable, but also the most expensive way is to buy at licensed outlets. B My Summer Car There are two main stores that sell tires:
- 📍 Teuri’s Shop (Teuvo store) - new tires of all types are sold here, including winter ones Nokian and summer Michelin. The prices are steep, but the range is wider than that of competitors.
- 📍 Fleetari Repair Shop — you can buy used tires cheaper from Fletari, but the choice is limited, and the quality sometimes lets you down (the risk of buying “bald” tires).
Prices vary depending on the season and type of tire. For example, summer tires in winter are 20-30% cheaper, and winter tires in summer are the opposite. Here is the current price table (for 2026, game version 1.23):
| Tire type | Teuri's Shop (new) | Fleetari (used) | Seasonal discounts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer (Michelin Pilot) | 1200–1500 ₯ | 600–900 ₯ | In winter −30% |
| Winter (Nokian Hakkapeliitta) | 1800–2200 ₯ | 1000–1400 ₯ | In summer −25% |
| All-season (Continental AllSeason) | 1500–1800 ₯ | 800–1100 ₯ | No discounts |
| Freight (for Gifu) | 2500–3000 ₯ | 1500–2000 ₯ | Random sales |
Important: You can bargain at Fletari! If you press E on the price tag and choose “Try to haggle”, there is a chance to reduce the price by 10–15%. But if you overdo it, Fletari may get offended and increase the cost.
2. Free tires: where to find them on the map without money
If your budget is tight, don't despair - Peräjärvi There are several places scattered where you can pick up tires for free. The main thing is to know where to look and be prepared for a little adventure.
- 🚗 Abandoned garage next to Teuvo's house — there are 2 summer tires on the shelf. To get them, you need to break the door (you will need
crowbarorsledgehammer). - 🏚️ Farm shed (northeast of the house) — inside you can find 1 winter tire and 1 all-season tire. The door opens, but inside sometimes appears dogwhich can bite.
- 🚛 Landfill next to Gifu — there are a couple of old tires lying around here, but they are often damaged (check before installing!).
- 🏠 Lake House (southwest) - There is 1 tire on the veranda, but the owner may call the police if he spots you.
Secret life hack: if you drive up to any abandoned house on Satsuma and press F (interaction), sometimes you can find a “spare tire” under the car - this is a random tire that appears with a 20% chance.
⚠️ Attention: If you are caught stealing tires (from a lake house, for example), the owners may call the police. In this case, you will have to either run away or pay off (500–1000 ₯). Also remember that some tires may be deflated — you can’t install them without a pump!

Where you can steal tires:
- 🚓 Police car — There are spare tires in the parking lot near the site. Risk: 90% (if you get caught, immediately go to jail for 3 in-game days).
- 🚜 Tractor Hayosiko — tires can be removed without tools, but the owner can chase you.
- 🚙 Cars at the bar — there are often drunk drivers here who will not immediately notice the loss. Risk: 50%.

- Use
screwdriverorwrenchto remove tires faster. - If you are being chased, get in Satsuma and drive away at top speed (but be careful - the car doesn't handle well without tires!).
Fines for tire theft:
- First time: warning + fine 500 ₯.
- Second time: fine ₯ 1,500 + confiscation of one tire.
- Third time: prison for 1-3 game days.
⚠️ Attention: If you are sent to prison, all unsaved items in your inventory will be lost! Therefore, before stealing, save the game (F5) and make sure important things are kept in the garage.
What happens if you steal all 4 tires from a police car?
You will receive the achievement “Public Enemy #1”, but the police will chase you for 5 in-game days, even if you pay a fine. In addition, all stores will refuse to trade with you until you return at least one tire.
4. Seasonal tires: when and where is the best time to buy them?
B My Summer Car There is a seasonal system that affects not only the weather, but also the prices and availability of tires. If you want to save money, it's important to understand when and what tires to buy.
Summer tires:
- 🌞 Summer — prices are maximum (1200–1500 ₯), but the choice is huge.
- ❄️ Winter — prices drop by 30%, but tires may be in short supply (stores order them less often).
- 🍂 Autumn/Spring — golden mean: prices are moderate, assortment is stable.
Winter tires:
- ❄️ Winter — the prices are too high (1800–2200 ₯), but it’s impossible to drive without them (the car will slip).
- 🌞 Summer — prices drop to ₯1300–1600, but sellers may refuse to sell them “out of season.”
All-season tires: their price is stable all year round (1500–1800 ₯), but they are worse than summer and winter ones in extreme conditions. Suitable if you don't want to spend money on changing tires.
Where to buy cheaper? Fletari has higher seasonal discounts than Teuvo. For example, you can buy winter tires in summer from Fletari for ₯1,000, and from Teuvo for ₯1,600. Also keep an eye out for random sales (they appear every 2-3 in-game days).
If you urgently need winter tires but don't have the money, try finding them at a junkyard Gifu. They sometimes appear there Nokian Hakkapeliitta with 50% wear - they will last for one season.
5. How to remove and install tires: step-by-step instructions
We found the tires - great! But how to install them on the car? B My Summer Car it's not as easy as in real life. Here are the detailed instructions:
What you will need:
- 🔧 Jack (required for Gifu and Ferndale).
- 🔩 Wrench (for unscrewing bolts).
- 🚗 Pump (if the tire is flat).
- 🧰 Screwdriver (for some car models).
Step by step installation:
- Drive the car onto a flat surface and engage the handbrake (
H). - Place a jack under the car (for Satsuma - under the front bumper, for Gifu - under the frame).
- Unscrew the bolts with a wrench (
right clickon the wheel). - Remove the old wheel (
E) and install new (right click + drag the tire onto the hub). - Tighten the bolts and lower the jack.
- Check the tire pressure with a pump (optimal: 2.0–2.2 bar).
Features for different machines:
- Satsuma: tires are changed without a jack if the car is parked on a level surface.
- Hayosiko: the bolts are unscrewed with a screwdriver, no jack is needed.
- Gifu: You definitely need a jack, otherwise the car will fall on you (take damage!).
⚠️ Attention: If you install tires with different treads (for example, summer and winter on the same axle), the car will behave unpredictably: handling will deteriorate and it may skid at high speed. Also don't forget that flat tires burst at speeds above 80 km/h!
Always check tire pressure after installation! Even a new tire can be slightly flat, causing you to lose control when cornering.
6. Checking the condition of tires: how not to buy a “pig in a poke”
B My Summer Car tires wear out - and this directly affects safety. Here's how to check whether the tire you find is worth buying or installing:
Signs of wear:
- 🔍 Visual damage - cracks, cuts or lack of tread. These tires burst when hitting a bump.
- 🎯 Uneven wear - if one side of the tire is worn more than the other, it “leads” when driving.
- 💨 Constantly going down — if a tire loses pressure within 1–2 in-game days, there is a hole in it (needs repair or replacement).
How to check wear:
- Take the tire in your hands (
E) and examine it from all sides. - If the tread is less than 2 mm, the tire is considered “bald” and is not suitable for off-road driving.
- Check the pressure with the pump - if it drops faster than 3 game days, the tire is leaking air.
Can it be repaired? Yes, but not always. You can buy from Fletari tire repair kit (500 ₯), which will seal small punctures. However, if the tire is torn or the tread is worn down to the cord, repair is useless.
Advice: If you find a tire with 50% wear or more, use it only as a spare tire. For constant driving, it is better to buy a new one or one with no more than 20% wear.
7. Alternative methods: exchange, barter and unexpected sources
If you don’t have money and don’t want to steal, there are several other ways to get tires:
- 🤝 Player exchange — in multiplayer, you can agree to exchange tires for other parts (for example, a battery or gas tank).
- 🎁 Gifts from NPCs - sometimes Teuvo or Fletari can give a tire for completing quests (for example, if you help repair Ferndale).
- 🏆 Achievement Awards - for some achievements (for example,
“Survivor”or“Mechanic”) give free tires. - 🗑️ Recycling old tires - if you burn tires in a stove (
at home or in the garage), you can get crumb rubber, which you can then exchange with Fletari for new tires (10 crumbs = 1 tire with 30% wear).
How to burn tires:
- Place the tire in the oven (
E). - Add wood or gasoline for ignition.
- Wait 5-10 minutes - you will get 2-3 units of crumb rubber.
⚠️ Attention: Burning tires in the house (not in a stove!) can cause a fire. Also, do not forget that for environmental pollution (if you burn tires on the street) you can get a fine of ₯300.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about tires in My Summer Car
Is it possible to drive on bald tires?
Technically yes, but it is extremely dangerous. On bald tires, the car brakes poorly, it skids when turning, and on a wet road it generally becomes uncontrollable. In addition, the police can fine you for a “defective vehicle” (500 ₯ fine).
Where to find tires for Gifu?
For truck Gifu Only special truck tires are suitable. You can buy them from Teuvo (2500-3000 ₯) or find them in the dump near Gifu (there are 2 tires with 40% wear there). Fletari also sometimes sells them, but very rarely.
What happens if you install winter tires in the summer?
Winter tires wear out faster in summer (the wear doubles), and the car becomes less controllable on dry asphalt. In addition, fuel consumption increases by 10–15%. However, if you drive mostly off-road, there will be almost no difference.
How to steal tires from a police car without getting caught?
This is almost impossible, but you can reduce the risks:
- Drive up at night.
- Use Satsuma with the engine turned off (press
Lto turn off the headlights). - Remove the tires as quickly as possible (a wrench is needed).
- Drive away immediately at top speed - the police won't chase you for long if you leave the city.
But even in this case, the chance of being caught is 70%.
How many tires do you need for a complete set?
For passenger cars (Satsuma, Ferndale) - 4 tires + 1 spare (recommended). For Gifu — 6 tires (including rear axle). For Hayosiko — 2 tires (front) + 2 rear “pancakes” (they are not considered tires in the classical sense).
