Question:

How much does a tire cost?

I looked for my size on Costco website and they said $170 + installation + tax which should push it over $200 per tire (225-75R-16). Is this how much this tire cost or are there cheaper places?

Answer:

That's a good size tire, but as always- shop around. Do you just need one tire? Many places have sales where if you buy 3 they will give you the 4th for free. Tire brand will also make a difference in the price. Also tire type. I am assuming from the size that this is going on a truck. Can you do a P (passenger car tire) as opposed to a LT (light truck tire)? The P tire will ride a bit smoother, but isn't rated as high for weight as the LT tire. The P tire should also be a bit cheaper. Shop, shop, shop. :)
Um it depends what tire and how big but usually they run about 130to 170 more or less and those prices account for name brand good tires.If you want cheaper tires your cheating no one you get what you pay for so more or less costco will be right and considering you won't install it yourself then of course pay more.
Shop around. But Costco would have decent prices. The tires on my car were $50 each plus installation. Tire cost depends on the tire you need, and that one of yours a specialized tire. I found that size on Amazon for $159+ and found that size also on yahoo shopping for under $100. Shop around.
