Fitting covers more steps than the name suggests: the old tyre is broken off the rim, the new one mounted, the wheel balanced and bolted to the specified torque. A new valve and disposal of the old tyre are usually included. On vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), the sensor has to be transferred, serviced or replaced and then relearned.
Prices vary widely by region, rim type and garage — the ranges below are typical guide figures for Germany, not a quote. Mounting and balancing usually costs around 15 to 30 euros per wheel, with alloy rims and large diameters at the upper end. Disposal of the old tyre adds roughly 3 to 7 euros per tyre.
The item most often overlooked is TPMS. Since 1 November 2014 every passenger car newly registered in the EU must have a tyre pressure monitoring system. With in-wheel sensors, each tyre change needs a service kit (seal, valve core, nut), and a failed sensor can cost considerably more than the fitting itself. Ask about it before comparing prices.
Many shops will deliver directly to a garage on request. That saves carrying four tyres in your car and storing them in between. Clarify two things with the garage first: whether it accepts and fits tyres bought elsewhere, and at what price. Some charge a surcharge for tyres not bought from them.
We do not arrange fitting appointments and run no garage network — on this site we compare tyre prices only. You choose the fitter yourself. If you want everything from one source, a portal with affiliated garages may suit you better; if you are after the plain tyre price, comparing here works out cheaper.
In Germany, around 15 to 30 euros per wheel for mounting and balancing is usual, plus roughly 3 to 7 euros for disposing of the old tyre. Alloy rims, large diameters and runflat tyres sit at the upper end. Prices differ markedly by region — ask for a fixed price in advance.
Not necessarily. Working sensors can be reused, but usually need a service kit of seal, valve core and nut. If a sensor has failed or its battery is flat it must be replaced and relearned, which depending on the car can cost more than the fitting itself.
Yes, many shops offer this. Talk to the garage first though: not every workshop fits tyres bought elsewhere, and some charge a surcharge. A short phone call before ordering saves trouble.
No. We compare tyre prices across several online shops and run no garage network. You organise the fitting yourself — in return you see the total price including shipping here, with no paid placements.
