How Much Are Tyres in Singapore?

Your car’s tyres might not be the flashiest part of your vehicle, but they play one of the most critical roles in keeping you safe on the road. Good tyres don’t just improve handling and braking—they also help with fuel efficiency and overall comfort.

Tyre prices in Singapore can vary quite a bit, thanks to factors like import taxes, car make and model, and brand preferences. For example, a driver with a compact Toyota might spend much less than someone driving a BMW or Tesla with high-performance or run-flat tyres.

If you already own a car here, you know that costs can pile up quickly—COE, ERP, fuel, parking, servicing, and insurance. Tyres might seem like a small expense in comparison, but budgeting for them is essential if you want your car to run smoothly (and avoid unnecessary repair bills down the road).

Let’s break down what actually influences the cost of tyres in Singapore:

Tyre type. Most drivers in Singapore will choose between summer and all-season tyres. Since we live in a tropical climate, there’s no need for winter tyres. Summer tyres tend to offer better grip and performance, especially in wet conditions, but all-season options are popular for general use and durability.

Vehicle type. The size and weight of your vehicle will impact tyre pricing. A Toyota Vios or Honda Fit typically requires smaller tyres (and thus, lower prices), while larger SUVs like the Honda CR-V or premium sedans like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class need bigger, more expensive ones.

Tyre brand. Premium tyre brands like Michelin, Continental, and Bridgestone offer better durability, performance, and warranties—but at a higher cost. Budget brands from China or Indonesia can be significantly cheaper, but may wear out faster or provide less grip in the rain.

Size of tyre rim. Tyres with larger rim sizes (like 17 to 21 inches) are more expensive. These are commonly found on continental or luxury cars. In general, the bigger the rim, the bigger the price tag.

Run-flat tyres vs regular tyres. Run-flat tyres allow you to keep driving even after a puncture—but they don’t come cheap. These are often found on BMWs and some high-end models, and can cost almost double of regular tyres.

Tyre shop location & services offered. Neighbourhood workshops tend to be cheaper than authorised dealers. If you’re using mobile tyre replacement services (like Auto365 or myTukar), convenience comes with a premium.

Technology & features. Some tyres come with advanced features like noise reduction, fuel-saving tread patterns, or enhanced grip for rain. These can improve your drive, but will cost more.

Average cost of tyres

Here are the average tyre prices you can expect to pay in Singapore, based on size and type:

• 13 to 15-inch tyres (e.g. Toyota Vios, Honda Fit): $80 to $150 per tyre, with the median price around S$120.

• 16 to 18-inch tyres (e.g. Hyundai Avante, Mazda 3, Toyota Altis): $120 to $250 per tyre, with a median of around $180.

• 19 to 21-inch tyres (e.g. Lexus RX, BMW X3, Tesla Model Y): $200 to S$450 per tyre, with a median of about S$320.

• Run-flat tyres (e.g. BMW 3/5 Series, Mercedes C-Class): $300 to $600 per tyre.

Do note that prices fluctuate depending on promotions. Many workshops offer bundle deals (e.g. buy 4 tyres and get free balancing, nitrogen top-up, or alignment checks), so it’s worth asking about packages.

Labour costs

Besides the tyre itself, there are additional labour costs you should budget for. Labour costs include installation fees, wheel alignment & balancing, and the tyre disposal fee. These will usually set you back an additional $80-150.

Look out for bundled packages that combine tyres, fitting, alignment, and disposal. These can offer better value compared to paying for each item separately. And, always ask about warranty terms and how long the tread is expected to last—some brands offer pro-rated guarantees or road hazard coverage.
