Car tyres in Australia

Updated 4 November 2026

Car tyres in Australia cost about A$55 to A$260 for passenger cars and A$340 to A$505 for all-terrain tyres, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. The quickest way to see prices for your exact size is a free request on BlaBlaPrice, where you describe the car and tyre size in your own words.

Reading the size and the rules

A size such as 195/65R15 gives the tyre width in millimetres, the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, and the rim diameter in inches. Ford Australia's guidance says replacement tyres should be no more than 15 mm larger or smaller than the original sizes, so a bigger rim or taller tyre can break that rule. Victoria's guidance VSI 16 requires tyres to be constructed and certified for normal road use, which is worth checking on a very cheap offer.

Warranties: read them before you pay

Michelin's new-tyre warranty lasts until the original usable tread is worn out or for six years from purchase. A road hazard warranty from one major brand replaces a tyre free of charge if it is less than 10 percent worn, and charges a pro-rata cost above that. Hankook requires claims to be made at the store where the tyres were bought, through an authorised dealer, and Goodyear offers a mileage warranty when you buy two or more tyres. Keep the receipt.

Season and timing in Australia

Australia is in the southern hemisphere, so November falls between winter (June to August) and summer (December to February). Many drivers check tyres before the summer holiday driving season, so ordering now leaves time before the busiest weeks. Tread and pressure checks matter more on long highway runs in the hot months.

How tyres are bought here

Prices are in Australian dollars, and the listings do not say whether fitting, balancing and old tyre disposal are included. Ask whether the price is for one tyre or a set of four. Delivery between Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide is possible, but a fitter near you saves a second trip.

What to put in your request

Include the car make, model and year, the tyre size from the sidewall or the owner's manual, how many tyres you need and your city. Say whether you want a budget, touring or performance tyre, whether it is for a 4WD, and whether you need fitting.

Getting offers through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the tyres in a chat, and the AI asks for missing details such as the car year, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. See Tyres, rims & wheels for related listings.
