Prices vary widely by size, brand and tire type, but for a typical passenger car all-season tires you can expect roughly $300 to $900 before installation.
Understanding what drives the price
Several factors affect the total cost: tire size (width, aspect ratio and diameter), the tire type (all-season, winter, summer, or performance), brand tier, and features such as run-flat capability or higher speed ratings. Retailers also factor in installation packages, warranties, and seasonal promotions, which can push the total beyond the tire price alone.
Typical price ranges for four tires
Prices are commonly broken into tiers to help compare options across brands and styles.
- Budget/all-season tires: generally $60–$120 per tire, about $240–$480 for four.
- Mid-range tires: typically $120–$200 per tire, about $480–$800 for four.
- Premium tires: usually $200–$350 per tire, about $800–$1,400 for four.
- High-performance or SUV tires: often $250–$450 per tire, about $1,000–$1,800 for four.
Note that prices can change with sales, regional taxes, and availability. Installation, balancing, and disposal fees are often extra and can add 20–40% to the tire-only cost.
Installation and additional costs
When budgeting, include mounting, balancing, disposal, and possible alignment. These services can add to the total cost depending on your location and the retailer.
- Mounting and balancing: about $15–$60 per tire
- Tire disposal/recycling: typically $2–$5 per tire or per set
- Wheel alignment (recommended after installing new tires on many vehicles): about $80–$150
- Taxes and fees: vary by state and retailer, often 5–10% of the tire cost
In many markets you can find installation packages that include mounting, balancing, and disposal for a bundled price, which can reduce per-tire costs.
How to estimate the total for your vehicle
Follow these steps to tailor the price to your car and location.
- Check the tire size on your current tires or in your owner's manual (e.g., P205/60R16).
- Choose the tire type and brand tier you want (all-season, winter, performance; budget, mid-range, premium).
- Get quotes from multiple retailers for four tires, including installation.
- Add applicable tax and any remaining services (alignment, disposal) to estimate the final total.
With these steps, you can produce a realistic total you will pay at checkout. If you provide your car’s make, model, year, and preferred tire type, we can offer a more precise estimate.
Summary
Four tires can range from a few hundred dollars to well over a thousand, depending on size, type and brand, plus installation. Budget-conscious buyers can expect roughly $300–$480 for four budget tires, while mid-range and premium packages commonly land between $480 and $1,400 for the tires alone, with installation and taxes increasing the final bill. Always compare quotes across retailers and consider bundled installation deals to save.
