How much do new tyres cost in the UK?

Budget tyres £55–£90, mid-range £85–£140, premium £130–£260 fitted. SUV and run-flat tyres add £30–£80 per tyre.

Here's a quick, honest answer from a working UK mechanic — what causes it, what it costs to fix, and what to do next.

Can I mix brands? — Same axle should match. Different brands front-to-rear is acceptable but not recommended.

What about part-worn tyres? — Legal but risky — many fail safety standards and have unknown history. We don't recommend them.
