How Much Does Tire Installation Cost? (Buying Tires Online and Shipping to an Installer)
When you compare tire prices, installation is the part that is easy to overlook. Here is what a proper install includes and how buying online and shipping to an installer works.
What installation covers
- Mounting the new tire on your wheel.
- Computer balancing.
- New valve stem or TPMS service where needed.
- Disposal of the old tire.
- Torque to spec.
What it typically costs
Independent shops commonly charge roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing, and prices vary by region, wheel size and shop. Run-flat tires, large truck wheels and TPMS service can cost more. Always ask for the out-the-door price, including disposal fees and taxes.
How buying online and installing locally works
- Find your size on tread4life.com and check out.
- Choose to ship to your home or directly to a local installer.
- Call the shop to book your install once the tires arrive.
- Bring the shipment confirmation so they know what to expect.
Before you order, call the shop to confirm they install tires bought elsewhere and ask their per-tire install price. Many shops are happy to do it.
