How much are tyres in the UK? The number that matters is a fitted set of four — four tyres plus fit/balance, valves and disposal. One tyre on the shelf is not the bill. Highway/wet, SUV and pickup sets differ. Winter is optional, not the default UK set.
These are example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Own-brand highway/wet sits toward the bottom of a band; a named all-terrain on a large SUV or pickup sits toward the top. Pounds are GBP. VAT is usually already in the sticker.
Example each vs set of 4 (tyres only) vs fitted set of 4, by size and type. Fitted here means four tyres plus fit/balance plus valves plus disposal. Alignment is extra if the quote says so.
| Size | Type | Common on | Ex. each | Ex. set of 4 (tyres only) | Ex. fitted set of 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 205/55R16 | Highway / wet | Golf / Focus / Civic class | example £70–130 | example £280–520 | example £380–680 |
| 215/55R17 | Highway / wet | Octavia / Passat / mid hatch | example £85–150 | example £340–600 | example £450–780 |
| 225/65R17 | Highway / SUV | Qashqai / Sportage / CUV class | example £100–180 | example £400–720 | example £520–900 |
| 225/65R17 | Winter / snow | same CUV, Scotland / highland | example £120–220 | example £480–880 | example £620–1,080 |
| 235/55R18 | Highway / SUV | midsize SUV / CUV | example £120–200 | example £480–800 | example £620–1,000 |
| 265/65R17 | All-terrain / pickup | Ranger / Hilux / pickup class | example £140–240 | example £560–960 | example £720–1,180 |
| 275/65R18 | All-terrain | large SUV / 4x4 | example £170–300 | example £680–1,200 | example £860–1,460 |
Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Fitted = four tyres + fit/balance + valves + disposal. Alignment extra if the quote says so. Winter row is climate-optional — not the default UK set. GBP. VAT usually in the sticker.
Every pound in that table is an example, not a sourced 2026 street price. Same physical size is the point of the two 225/65R17 rows — highway/SUV for the everyday CUV set, winter/snow only if you drive Scotland / highland.
Look at the two 225/65R17 rows: same CUV size, highway/SUV then winter/snow. Do not treat winter as the UK year-round product.
Fitted is the four tyres plus fit/balance, valves and disposal. A sticker each is not that number. Across four corners, fit/balance, new valves and a disposal levy are the usual add-ons. Alignment is extra if the quote says so — it is not inside the fitted column unless the shop writes it in.
Online (Blackcircles, MyTyres) is tyres-only until a fitter adds labour. A chain package at Kwik Fit, Halfords, National Tyres, ATS Euromaster or Protyre is closer to the fitted column when fit/balance is in the quote. Ask for the fitted set of four in GBP, not the shelf sticker. VAT is usually in the sticker.
The number that matters is a fitted set of four: four tyres plus fit/balance, valves and disposal. Example ranges in the table run from about £380–£680 fitted on a Golf / Focus / Civic-class highway/wet set up to £860–£1,460 fitted on a large SUV / 4x4 all-terrain. Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. GBP. VAT is usually in the sticker.
Yes — four on the car, fitted, not one on the shelf. A single-tyre sticker hides that you usually buy a matched set, then pay fitting, valves and disposal on each corner.
Usually no. Winter / snow is an optional climate row for Scotland / highland — not the default UK set. Most cars run highway/wet. See the two 225/65R17 rows: same CUV size, highway/SUV then winter/snow.
Often not. Chains often bundle fit/balance into a fitted quote. Online (Blackcircles, MyTyres) is tyres-only until a fitter adds labour. Alignment is extra if the quote says so. Always ask for the fitted set of four.
Only if the quote says so. Fitted here means four tyres + fit/balance + valves + disposal. Alignment sits on top.
Highway/wet is the everyday passenger set. SUV and pickup sets cost more; all-terrain sits higher again. Winter is a second set of four for snow, not a year-round default.
