How Much Do New Tires Cost?

Published by Rims & Tires

Compiled & checked by the site's publisher from manufacturer, NHTSA & USTMA data · Updated 2026-07-24

For most cars and trucks, expect roughly $100–$250 per tire installed — so $400–$1,000 for a full set. Budget all-seasons sit at the low end; large truck, performance, and off-road tires run higher. Here’s how the pricing breaks down.

What drives the price

Size: bigger wheels and tires cost more. A compact car’s 16" tires are far cheaper than a truck’s 20" or a lifted rig’s 35s.

Quality tier: economy brands, mid-range names, and premium tires (longer warranties, better wet grip, quieter ride) span a wide range. Specialty tires like performance summer or mud-terrain cost more still.

Type: all-season vs. all-terrain vs. performance all change the number.

Don’t forget installation

On top of the tire price, budget for mounting, balancing, new valve stems or TPMS service, and disposal of your old tires — often $20–$35 per tire combined. Many shops bundle lifetime rotation and flat repair when you buy a set, which adds real value.

Used tires are an option too — typically $40–$80 each installed — and make sense when you only need one or two, or you’re on a tight budget.

Ways to save

Buy a full set together, ask about rebates and package deals, and consider financing or rent-to-own if you need them now and want to spread the cost. The best value is usually a mid-tier tire from a shop that includes rotation and flat repair.

Frequently asked

How much is a full set of tires?

Most drivers pay $400–$1,000 for four installed, depending on size and quality. Compact-car all-seasons are cheapest; large truck and off-road tires cost the most.

Can I finance new tires?

Yes — many shops offer financing or no-credit-check rent-to-own on tires and wheel-and-tire packages, so you can get them now and pay over time.

Should I replace all four tires at once?

If the other three are worn too, yes — a full set wears evenly and keeps handling predictable. On all-wheel drive it’s usually required, since a big tread mismatch stresses the drivetrain. If your other tires are near-new, replacing in pairs on the same axle is fine.

Are cheap tires worth it?

For a low-mileage second car or a short-term fix, budget tires get the job done. But the mid-tier is usually the sweet spot: better wet grip and a longer tread warranty for not much more per tire, so the cost per mile often comes out lower. A local shop can walk you through where the extra money actually buys something.
