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.
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 | Corolla / Civic class | example $90–160 | example $360–640 | example $480–820 |
| 215/55R17 | Highway / wet | Camry / Mazda3 class | example $110–190 | example $440–760 | example $560–960 |
| 225/65R17 | Highway / SUV | RAV4 / CR-V / CX-5 class | example $130–220 | example $520–880 | example $660–1,100 |
| 225/65R17 | Winter / snow | same CUV, alpine NSW/VIC | example $160–280 | example $640–1,120 | example $800–1,360 |
| 235/55R18 | Highway / SUV | midsize SUV / CUV | example $150–250 | example $600–1,000 | example $760–1,240 |
| 265/65R17 | All-terrain / ute | Ranger / Hilux / ute class | example $180–300 | example $720–1,200 | example $900–1,480 |
| 275/65R18 | All-terrain | large SUV / 4WD | example $220–380 | example $880–1,520 | example $1,080–1,820 |
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 alpine-optional — not the default AU set.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 ute sets cost more; all-terrain sits higher again. Alpine winter is a second set of four for snow, not a year-round default.
