With thousands of car and truck models on the road and several tire manufacturers, it’s almost impossible to list the prices of all the tires you can choose from. Furthermore, tire prices differ based on your vehicle type, the width and height of the tire, the diameter of your rims, its weight capacity, how fast it can go, the tread pattern, and many other factors.
Nevertheless, Discount Tire, one of the biggest tire retailers in the U.S., published a general tire pricing guide that offers a typical outlook on what you should expect to pay. This is how much the company expects tires to cost:
As you can see, cars with larger rims, like trucks, SUVs, and sports cars, generally have more expensive tires. Furthermore, high-performance vehicles generally have more pricey tires because their tires must have the technology to cope with the speeds they attain.
For example, the insanely fast Bugatti Veyron’s tires cost $50,000 — a piece. That’s why one of the rules of owning a Bugatti is to have a lot of money.
