In Lithuania, current laws stipulate that companies engaged in tire sales are obligated to accept used tires from their customers equal to the number of new tires sold. For instance, when purchasing a full set of tires for a car, which consists of four tires, the seller must accept four old tires as well. Alternatively, if the seller does not accept old tires, they are required to inform the customer about the nearest location where these tires can be disposed of for free. It is also important to note that the old tires must match the size and purpose of the new tires being purchased.

Additionally, this regulation applies to online purchases of tires as well. If a tire seller refuses to accept old tires or demands an extra fee for taking them, such actions are considered illegal under Lithuanian law. This protects consumers and ensures that they are not unfairly charged for the disposal of their old tires, promoting a responsible approach to tire waste management. The law aims to encourage recycling and environmentally friendly practices in tire disposal.

Tire fitting companies are also required to adhere to the same regulations regarding old tires. For example, if a customer comes to switch from summer tires to winter tires and no longer needs the summer tires, the service provider must accept these tires without any additional charges. This regulation reinforces the importance of compliance in the tire service industry, ensuring consumers are treated fairly and that they have access to proper disposal options for their old tires.
