How much does it cost to replace the tyres?

Price by type of car

By power

For a family hatchback, Spain average. The more powerful the car, the bigger the tyre size.

What's included

What you pay for

Full set with fitting, valves and balancing. Budget, mid-range or premium brand.

We work it out from the price of each mid-range tyre for the car's power (shops such as Oponeo and Norauto, 2026), adjusted to the car's size, plus 15 € per wheel for fitting: removal, valve, balancing and recycling.

How often

How often it's done

• Legal minimum: 1,6 mm of tread; the RACE advises replacing them at 3 mm. They last about 40.000 km (our estimate; less on very powerful cars).

Cheaper or dearer

What the price depends on

• Power. The more powerful the car, the bigger the size: a 75 hp supermini runs on 15-inch wheels; a 400 hp SUV on 21-inch high-performance ones.
• The tyre brand. A budget brand works out about 25% cheaper than a mid-range one; a premium brand, 50% more.
• The car brand. For premium brands (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo…) we add 10%.
• Car size. An SUV or a saloon has bigger wheels than a city car: up to 26% more.
• Where you live. Depending on the region, the same job varies by up to 23%: cheapest, Canarias; most expensive, País Vasco.

By area

Price by region

For a family hatchback, VAT included, from the cheapest region to the most expensive. You can pick your province above.

The difference between regions comes from Tallerator's average quotes (Autofácil, 2014), smoothed because the sample is old and small: take it as a rough guide. There's no data for Ceuta, La Rioja, and Melilla, so the Spain average is used (400 €).
