.tires Domain: An Address for Tyre Sales and Fitting
The .tires extension entered the root on 11 December 2014; its ICANN agreement is dated 7 November 2014 and the contracting party is Binky Moon, LLC. Shops selling tyres, workshops doing fitting and balancing, seasonal storage services and online retailers all take names here. No eligibility condition applies, so a dealership agreement, chamber registration or service licence is never requested.
The zone is small: on 14 August 2026 it held 1,566 registrations, of which 1,106 appear in the zone file. Space is plentiful and the live share is reasonable. For a local workshop the most productive pattern is a city or district name in the root, while an established brand name works harder if customers already know it. Compare candidates on the .tires domain search page.
This spelling is American English; British English writes tyres, and no such extension exists in the root zone. The IANA list of authoritative extensions dated 13 August 2026 contains only .tires. The practical consequence: a visitor looking for the British spelling may mistype the address, so show it in full on printed material and on your signage.

.tires Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .tires domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .tires address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .tires domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $19.31 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .tires returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .tires Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Putting the location in the root is the practical route. Customers usually search for the nearest workshop, so a pattern such as "riverside.tires" stays short and carries the searched word. For a chain, use the brand name and build branches as subdirectories. Since the address will appear on signage, avoid hyphens and digits, because every character that gets garbled aloud turns into a lost appointment.
-
No, the root zone contains no such extension. The IANA list of authoritative extensions dated 13 August 2026 includes only .tires, so this is the single registrable spelling. If you address customers in Britain or Australia, show the address in full inside your text and print it plainly, because their habitual spelling differs and mistyping becomes likely.
-
It does not. Because the agreement treats the string as a dictionary term, the registry cannot impose identity-based eligibility, so a one-person fitting bay registers on the same terms as a large distributor. That does not remove responsibility, since the rules covering sales and fitting work arise from the activity itself rather than from the domain name you hold.
-
They are good. On the measurement date the zone held 1,566 registrations in total, which is small, so most combinations of city, district and service remain untouched. Narrow services such as seasonal storage, fleet contracts or roadside assistance also leave room. To test several ideas at the same time, use bulk domain name search.
-
Any form collecting contact details needs an encrypted connection. Install the certificate on day one, because browsers mark unencrypted pages with a visible warning and that lowers completed bookings directly. If the form gathers registration plates, phone numbers and vehicle details, state how long you keep them. Compare certificate options on the SSL certificate page.
