Replacing a truck tire typically costs $150 to over $1,000 depending on the truck class and tire quality.
The price of a new truck tire hinges on one question: what kind of truck are you driving? Tires for a light-duty pickup like a Ford F-150 run far less than the 22.5-inch commercial tires on a semi. Most buyers spend somewhere between $300 and $600 per tire, but the range stretches from budget light-truck tires near $100 to specialized industrial rubber at $3,000 or more.
This guide breaks down what you’ll actually pay by truck type, what mounting adds to the bill, and where budget-minded buyers can look for savings.
Light-Duty Pickup Truck Tires: $150–$300 Each
For everyday pickups and SUVs, the price is the friendliest. Published price guides put light-duty pickup tires in the $150–$300 range per tire, before installation. A complete set of four commonly lands between $800 and $1,800 depending on the class, brand, and size.
The cheapest end of the spectrum shows up in actual retail listings. A light-truck/SUV all-season tire currently sells for around $101.82. Budget options from value brands sit near $108.99, while mainstream all-terrain and highway-tread tires for pickups cluster between $226 and $350.
What moves the price within this range:
- Size — Larger diameter tires like 18-inch and 20-inch wheels cost more than 16-inch or 17-inch equivalents.
- Tread pattern — Highway tires are cheapest; all-terrain and mud-terrain patterns add a premium.
- Load rating — Higher load-range tires with stronger sidewalls cost more.

Medium-Duty Truck Tires: $300–$600 Each
Medium-duty trucks, including box trucks, dump trucks, and larger delivery vehicles, require a tougher tire than a pickup. Current listings put these in the $300–$600 per-tire range, with common sizes like 225/75R16 and 11R22.5.
Commercial truck inventories back this up with specific examples. Load ranges H and L appear throughout these listings — a reminder that the sidewall strength you choose directly affects the price.
These commercial tires are built for weight and mileage, not comfort. The heavier construction and deeper tread depth explain the jump from light-duty pricing, and it’s a difference you shouldn’t ignore: running a pickup-class tire on a medium-duty truck is a safety risk.
Heavy-Duty and Semi-Truck Tires: $400–$1,000+ Each
Heavy-duty trucks and semi-trailers run the biggest, most expensive tires. The typical range sits at $400–$1,000+ per tire, with specialized applications pushing past $1,000 and up to $3,000 or more for industrial and off-road use.
Common sizes in this class include 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 12R22.5, and 295/75R22.5, often with 16-ply or 18-ply ratings like the 12R22.5 18 Ply 152/149L Load Range J.
| Truck Type | Price Per Tire | Common Sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Light-duty pickup/SUV | $150–$300 | P265/70R17, LT285/75R16 |
| Medium-duty | $300–$600 | 225/75R16, 11R22.5 |
| Heavy-duty / semi | $400–$1,000+ | 11R22.5, 295/75R22.5, 12R22.5 |
| Specialized off-road/industrial | $1,000–$3,000+ | Varies by application |
What Mounting and Installation Add to the Bill
The quoted tire price is almost never the final total. Most price guides exclude mounting, balancing, taxes, and disposal fees, and the services typically add another $150–$200 on top of the tire itself. When you see a $299 tire advertised, plan for roughly $450–$500 out the door.
All-in estimates from one published guide put a standard pickup at about $1,000–$1,200 for a full set installed, a heavy-duty pickup at $1,400–$1,600, and highway all-seasons at about $900. Budget buyers who hunt for deals can beat those numbers, but the installed total is the number that matters when you’re planning.
One common mistake: confusing light-truck tires with commercial truck tires. A pickup tire at $150 is not equivalent to a commercial 11R22.5 at a similar price — the construction, load capacity, and intended use are completely different. Match the size to your vehicle exactly, verify the load range, and the price will take care of itself.
