How Much Do New Tires Cost?

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 — performance summer, mud-terrain — cost more.

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.
