How much does it cost to install 4 tires? Servik’s comparator puts the install work on a set of four 235/45R18 tires at $100–$180, plus local tax. That covers mounting, balancing, valve stems, a TPMS kit, and disposal — not the tires themselves. Discount Tire’s published pricing puts the same set at about $116–$128 before tax.
It stings to buy four new tires and then get a second bill for putting them on. The install is a real job with real parts — mounting, balancing, valve stems, a TPMS kit, disposal — and this guide shows you what each piece should cost, so the total stops feeling like a surprise.
Read the size from the tire sidewall or the driver's door sticker — for example 235/45R18 — and your ZIP. The tool needs the size and ZIP; quantity defaults to a full set of four.
We ran compare_tire_installed_price live for four 235/45R18 tires near ZIP 23059, with a user-supplied tire price of $150 per tire — that $150 is our input, not a Servik price. The tool returned itemized install fees for the set of four: mounting $44–$80, balancing $40–$60, valve stem $0–$12 (often included free), TPMS service kit $0–$12, and disposal $16. Install total: $100–$180. With the user-supplied tires ($600 for four), the total installed range was $700–$780, plus local tax added by the shop. The top attached shop was Murphy's Auto Center in Glen Allen, 13166 Mountain Rd, 2.4 miles away, marked Recommended, phone +1 804-798-4566. Stock was not verified — call the shop to confirm the size is in stock.
The install band is less than twice as wide: $100–$180. Discount Tire's published mount-and-balance pricing ($25 per tire plus $4 disposal, from a Tire Rack installer listing, October 2026) puts a set of four at about $116–$128 before tax — inside Servik's band, toward the low end. The top of Servik's band still runs above that real figure, so use the low end as the realistic anchor and ask the shop for its bundled installed price rather than trusting the high end.
If a shop quoted you a per-tire price, type it in and the tool adds it to the install range for a true installed total. Without it, you get install and fees only, and the total is marked plus local tax. Tax appears only at a rate you supply; otherwise the total excludes it.
Separate fee lines sum higher than bundled install pricing, so ask the shop for one bundled installed price for the set, confirm it includes mounting, balancing, valve stems, TPMS kit, and disposal, and confirm the size is in stock. Run the tool from /tools or /chat, and get quotes through /get-quotes.
Installing a set of four tires runs $100–$180 for the install work alone, plus local tax — a range with the realistic anchor at the low end: Discount Tire's published pricing puts a set of four at about $116–$128 before tax, inside Servik's band. The tires themselves are priced by the shop's quote, never by Servik. As a related cost to keep in mind, a Virginia state safety inspection costs $12–$30 where regulated, and worn tires are a common failure item — tread below 2/32 inch fails inspection in most states.
If a tire is losing air fast, has sidewall damage, a bulge, or you drove on it flat, do not keep driving on it — call a shop. A small tread puncture is usually a repair candidate, but the shop has to confirm it in person.
Servik's comparator returns $100–$180 for the install work on a set of four 235/45R18 tires, plus local tax. Discount Tire's published pricing puts the same set at about $116–$128 before tax — inside Servik's band — so treat Servik's low end as the realistic anchor and ask the shop for its bundled installed price.
Only if you supply a tire price. The $150 per tire in our example was user-entered input, not a Servik price. Servik publishes no tire price — the tire itself is priced by the shop's quote.
Mounting, balancing, valve stems, TPMS service kit, and disposal, each as a range for the set of four. Tax is excluded unless you supply a rate; the total is then marked plus local tax, added by the shop.
Because the fee lines come from published fee bands and separate-line sums run higher than bundled install pricing. The tool itself warns you to ask the shop for its bundled installed price — that one number is what you actually pay.
