Tires are a big part of the cost of owning a car, and the range of tire prices doesn’t make it easier to budget for them.
The price of tires depends on several factors, including how they perform in certain weather conditions, how well they handle, and what type of terrain they can manage.
Each type of tire comes with its own price range. And while some tires might induce sticker shock, plenty of affordable options are on the market.
Tires are made of varying compounds and have different treadwear ratings.
These ratings tell you how long the tires will likely last. Tires are usually categorized according to the conditions in which they work best. Here are some of the common types of tires, and the factors that may affect their cost.
Weather performance. Tires are categorized as summer, winter or all-season. Summer and winter tires are designed to perform in certain types of weather, and all-season tires find a balance between summer and winter. All-season tires tend to be the cheapest option, and summer tires tend to be the most expensive. Winter tires fall somewhere in the middle.
🤓Nerdy Tip
If you live somewhere that drops below 40 degrees for only a few weeks a year, it’ll be cheaper to buy all-season tires for year-round driving than to go with winter tires that you swap out seasonally.
Comfort. Some types of tires, such as touring tires, are designed to give you a smoother ride. Comfort tires may have the same performance potential as other tires — for example, they may have the same wet and dry braking capabilities as all-season tires — but they tend to cost more because they offer a more comfortable ride.
Terrain. All-terrain tires are generally more expensive than standard highway tires because they have tread designed to let you go off-road. While you can get about 40,000 miles out of an all-terrain tire, it’s likely to wear down more quickly and need replacing sooner than a highway tire.
Performance. Designed for sports cars, performance tires let you take corners tightly and stop on a dime. They’ll give you that fast-driving experience, but you’ll pay more for performance tires.
The cost of tires can vary widely by type. Discount Tire, a national tire retailer, breaks down the average cost of tires by type and wheel size. Here is the range of prices and median cost per tire for each wheel size:
12-inch to 15-inch wheels. Tires often run $80 to $150, with a median price of $115. These tires are common for compact cars.
16-inch to 20-inch wheels. Tires of this size generally cost $100 to $400, with a median price of $250.
These tires are common for SUVs, crossovers, vans and trucks.
18-inch to 26-inch wheels. Tires often cost $140 to $500, with a median price of $320. These tires are common for larger trucks and utility vehicles.
The cheaper the tire within a certain group, the less likely it is to perform as well or last as long. Economical options are available, but research the quality of any tire you’re considering before buying it.
The table below shows the range of prices for different types of tires. These prices are not specific to a certain vehicle or tire size. They were gathered from Discount Tire's online inventory in October 2022.
Type of tire | Low price per tire | High price per tire |
|---|---|---|
All-season | ||
Summer | $1,486. | |
Winter | $1,311. | |
Touring | ||
Terrain | $1,447. | |
Performance | $1,486. |
When having new tires installed, the total average cost for labor is $50 to $300, according to CarRoar.com. The labor cost can vary by vehicle and tire size: The bigger the tires or more complicated the install, the higher the labor charge. For example, many shops charge more to mount low-profile tires.
Having new tires installed includes several steps. Your total labor cost is likely to include the time to perform the labor, mounting and balancing of the new tires, and disposal fees to get rid of your old tires.
🤓Nerdy Tip
You are likely to get a discount on the labor for having new tires installed if you have the work done at the shop where you purchase the tires.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a set of four tires cost?
The price of a set of four tires will depend on the size and type of tire, but the median price for four tires is between $460 and $1,280.
If you have smaller tires and decide to go with a cheaper option, you could pay below that range. However, if you have larger wheels and want performance or touring tires, you’re likely to pay close to $1,000 or more. Keep in mind these prices do not include labor fees to have the tires installed.
What is a good price to pay for tires?
The price of a tire depends on several factors, but you can use the average median price based on size to judge if you’re getting a good deal. A median price for a tire for a 12-inch to 15-inch wheel will run about $115. That jumps to a median price of $250 for 16-inch to 20-inch wheels, and a tire for a larger 18-inch to 26-inch wheel is likely to have a median price of $320.
Should I replace all four tires at once?
You’ll probably need to replace all four tires at once if you drive an all-wheel drive vehicle. Otherwise, you could damage the vehicle’s drivetrain. But other types of vehicles give you more options. You can probably replace a single tire if it’s damaged and the other tires still have substantial tread remaining.
Chat with a tire specialist if you’re unsure about your options.
How long should four tires last?
If you replaced all four tires at the same time or are on a vehicle’s first set of tires, on average the tires should last about six years and get between 36,000-75,000 miles in their lifespan. But tire life can vary with factors like driving habits, maintenance and climate. Regardless of their condition, no tires should be used longer than 10 years.

Almost every car owner, when replacing tires on his car, faces some difficulties: to change the entire set or just a pair of tires, what type of tires to choose and whether it is possible to mix tires from different manufacturers. Continental experts tried to bring clarity to the resolution of these issues.
Of course, the situation when all tires wear out equally and at the same time confirms that the conditions and type of driving, together with the timely maintenance of the car, perfectly matched its technical characteristics. And the answer to the question posed here is obvious - change all four tires to a new set of tires recommended by the automaker.
But such a picture, alas, is rare, especially in Russian realities, due to the influence of numerous factors.
Even in the case when the tires are worn unevenly, and there is a need to replace only part of the tires, the best solution would still be to buy a whole set of new tires. This guarantees the necessary safety on the road. The only downside to this approach for most drivers is the cost. And if, in order to save money, you still decide to replace only half of the wheels, then pay attention to the recommendations below:
.jpg)
In conclusion, we add that non-compliance with the above recommendations can lead to an imbalance in the car at the most inopportune moment, especially in bad weather. Do not forget that tires perform an important function in ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers. Therefore, it is best to use tires that are identical in every detail, including the model, size, tread depth, and tire brand.
Everything else is a compromise.
And if today you are faced with choosing a new “shoe” for your car, then be sure to consult with the specialists of a specialized tire center, such as Wheels for Free, where they will always help you with the right and safe choice.

Terrible product
Decided to save some money. Before that, the all-weather Kama was from the factory. Departure on it for 7 years. The only negative is that it had weak sidewalls. At the first hit in the pit, a hernia appeared. Decided to take the winter Kama. Stopped at 505 Irbis. Bottom line: Driven the entire outsole on all 4 tires in less than one season. Wire came out of the sides. Threw away. I do not advise anyone.

What factors should be considered when choosing tires?
The main factors that you should focus on when choosing car tires are the climatic features of your region and the features of the road surface on which the car will be operated.
When comparing manufacturers' offers, it is also important to take into account not only the price of the models, but also the additional benefits from the purchase. Some manufacturers offer additional promotions - free tire fitting or a guarantee against accidental damage. Regardless of your needs and budget, you can always buy suitable tires at ivanor.ru.
How to choose tires by size?
The tire size consists of the tire section width, sidewall height and rim diameter. For example, in size 205/55, R16:205 is the tire profile width in millimeters, 55 is the sidewall height as a percentage of the profile width (in this case, 55% of 205), R is an indication of the radial design, and 16 is the landing (internal ) tire diameter. The complete tire size also contains information about the maximum permissible load and the maximum speed of movement (load and speed indices). The selection of tires by size is available on the main page of ivanor.
