Four on the car, fitted — not one on the shelf. Highway/wet, SUV and ute sets differ; alpine winter is optional.

Also for: US · UK

How much are tyres in Australia? 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 ute sets differ. Alpine winter is optional, not the default AU 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 ute sits toward the top. Dollars are AUD.

Every dollar 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 alpine NSW/VIC.

Highway / wet vs SUV vs alpine winter

  • Highway / wet: the default passenger set in Australia. Corolla / Civic / Camry / Mazda3 class. Not a US all-season row and not a winter set.
  • Highway / SUV: the same idea on a taller, heavier CUV — RAV4 / CR-V / CX-5 class, then midsize SUV. The 225/65R17 highway/SUV row is the everyday CUV bill.
  • All-terrain / ute: Ranger / Hilux and large SUV / 4WD. Load and tread sit above highway money.
  • Winter / snow: one optional alpine row. A second set of four for NSW/VIC snow country. It is not the title of this page and not the default AU set.

Look at the two 225/65R17 rows: same CUV size, highway/SUV then winter/snow. Do not treat alpine winter as the Australian year-round product.

Fitting, valves, disposal and alignment

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 (Tyroola, Tyresales) is tyres-only until a fitter adds labour. A chain package at Bob Jane T-Marts, Beaurepaires, JAX Tyres, Tyreplus, mycar or Kmart Tyre & Auto is closer to the fitted column when fit/balance is in the quote. Ask for the fitted set of four in AUD, not the shelf sticker.

Who actually quotes a fitted set

  • Bob Jane T-Marts and Beaurepaires: national chains. Fitted packages; fit/balance is usually in the quote.
  • JAX Tyres, Tyreplus and mycar: shop quotes with fitting on the invoice. Get the set-of-four fitted total in writing.
  • Tyroola and Tyresales: online, tyres-only until a partnered fitter adds labour. Add fitting, valves and disposal before you compare.
  • Kmart Tyre & Auto: budget and mid-range fitted quotes at the shop.
  • Costco Australia: the AU Costco warehouse membership page on FindPrices — fitting is in the warehouse, not a separate tyre-centre listing. Members usually get fit/balance in the quote.

Frequently asked questions

How much are tyres in Australia?

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 $480–$820 fitted on a Corolla / Civic-class highway/wet set up to $1,080–$1,820 fitted on a large SUV / 4WD all-terrain. Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices.

Set of 4?

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.

Do I need alpine winter tyres?

Usually no. Winter / snow is an optional alpine row for NSW/VIC snow country — not the default AU set. Most cars run highway/wet. See the two 225/65R17 rows: same CUV size, highway/SUV then winter/snow.

Does the price include fitting, valves and disposal?

Often not. Chains and Costco Australia often bundle fit/balance into a fitted quote. Online (Tyroola, Tyresales) is tyres-only until a fitter adds labour. Alignment is extra if the quote says so. Always ask for the fitted set of four.

Is alignment included?

Only if the quote says so. Fitted here means four tyres + fit/balance + valves + disposal. Alignment sits on top.

Highway / wet vs SUV vs alpine winter?

Highway/wet is the everyday passenger set. SUV and ute sets cost more; all-terrain sits higher again. Alpine winter is a second set of four for snow, not a year-round default.
