Mobile Tyres Co charges no callout fee and no out-of-hours surcharge. Wheel balancing and old tyre disposal are included in the fitting price.

Pricing is the question almost every driver asks before they call — and with good reason. Tyre costs vary significantly depending on the brand you choose, the type of tyre your vehicle requires, and which service you are comparing against. What looks like a simple question gets complicated quickly when you factor in callout fees, out-of-hours charges, recovery costs and the difference between a quoted price and what you actually end up paying.
This guide gives you honest, specific 2026 pricing for every mobile tyre service we offer, explains exactly what affects the final cost, and shows why the total cost of a mobile tyre fitting in London is often lower than a traditional garage visit once you account for everything involved.

What Determines the Final Price: The Four Key Variables
1. Repair vs Replacement
The most important cost factor is whether your tyre can be repaired or needs replacing. A professional puncture repair to British Standard BSAU159 — which involves removing the tyre from the wheel, inspecting the inner liner and vulcanising a patch-plug from inside — costs from 20 to 35 pounds. This is a permanent repair that restores full tyre performance.
Repairs are only possible when the puncture is in the central three-quarters of the tread, measures 6mm or less, and the tyre has not been driven flat. Sidewall damage, run-flat tyres and tread below 1.6mm require replacement. If you are unsure whether your tyre is repairable, describe the damage when you call and we will advise before dispatch.
2. Tyre Brand and Grade
This is the single largest variable in any tyre fitting cost. Tyres divide into three broad tiers, each with different performance characteristics and price points:
- Budget tyres (Nankang, Landsail, Westlake): Legally roadworthy, lower wet grip performance, faster urban wear. From 60 to 90 pounds fitted. Best suited to older vehicles, very low annual mileage or short-term use.
- Mid-range tyres (Hankook, Toyo, Falken, Kumho): Good wet grip, better tread life than budget, competitive pricing. From 90 to 130 pounds fitted. The most popular choice for London commuters wanting quality without premium prices.
- Premium tyres (Michelin, Continental, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear): Outstanding wet grip, longest tread life, lowest road noise. From 130 to 220 pounds fitted. Recommended for drivers covering motorway miles, high annual mileage, or wanting the best available safety margin in wet conditions.
Which Grade Makes Most Sense for London? For predominantly urban stop-start driving on borough roads, a quality mid-range tyre performs comparably to premium in most conditions. Premium tyres show their biggest advantage at sustained speed above 60 mph in heavy rain. If you cover the M25 or M1 regularly alongside urban driving, premium is worth the difference.
3. Tyre Size
Larger tyres cost more to manufacture and therefore more to buy. A 195/65 R15 on a standard hatchback is meaningfully cheaper than a 245/40 R19 on a premium saloon. If you drive a BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class, Audi A6 or similar, expect pricing toward the upper end of the relevant grade tier. Your tyre size is printed on the sidewall of the current tyre and takes the format width/profile R rim diameter.
4. Run-Flat Specification
Run-flat tyres carry a significant premium over standard equivalents — typically from 150 to 280 pounds per tyre fitted. They are factory-fitted to most BMW, Mini and some Mercedes models and cannot be swapped for standard tyres without also fitting a compatible tyre pressure monitoring system. The reinforced sidewall technology required for run-flat performance adds manufacturing cost that runs through to the retail price. If your vehicle uses run-flat tyres, budget accordingly.
Brand by Brand: What You Pay for Each Tyre in London 2026
| Brand | Grade | Price Per Tyre (fitted) | Best For | EU Wet Grip |
| Michelin Primacy 5 | Premium | 150 to 220 pounds | All-round London commuter | A |
| Continental PremiumContact 7 | Premium | 140 to 210 pounds | Motorway and A-road use | A |
| Pirelli Cinturato P7 | Premium | 130 to 200 pounds | Performance vehicles, EVs | A |
| Bridgestone Turanza 6 | Premium | 130 to 195 pounds | Comfort, low noise, SUVs | A |
| Hankook Kinergy 4S2 | Mid-range | 90 to 120 pounds | Year-round, value-conscious | B |
| Toyo Proxes CF2 | Mid-range | 85 to 115 pounds | Quieter mid-range option | B |
| Falken Ziex ZE310 | Mid-range | 80 to 110 pounds | Budget-minded urban driving | B/C |
| Nankang / Landsail | Budget | 60 to 90 pounds | Low mileage, older vehicles | C/D |
All prices are per tyre, including fitting, balancing and disposal. Run-flat variants of any brand carry a 20 to 40 percent premium over the standard equivalent. EU wet grip ratings are per manufacturer specification — an A-rated tyre stops meaningfully shorter than a C-rated equivalent on wet London roads.
The True Cost of Mobile Tyre Fitting vs a Garage Visit
The fitting price is comparable whether you choose mobile or garage. What changes are all the surrounding costs — and in London, those costs are significant. Here is what a garage visit actually costs versus calling Mobile Tyres Co:
| Cost Element | Traditional Garage Visit | Mobile Tyres Co |
| Tyre and fitting | From 60 to 220 pounds | From 60 to 220 pounds |
| Callout or recovery fee (flat tyre) | 80 to 150 pounds recovery cost | Zero |
| Fuel getting to garage | 3 to 15 pounds | Zero – we come to you |
| Parking near garage | 2 to 8 pounds | Zero |
| Time lost from work or plans | 1 to 3 hours typically | Zero – job done at your location |
| Out-of-hours night or weekend charge | Often applies | Zero – same price always |
| Total for flat tyre with no spare (realistic) | 190 to 390 pounds or more | From 60 to 90 pounds |
The most striking comparison is the flat tyre scenario with no spare wheel — the situation most London drivers face given that only 3 percent of new cars are sold with a spare wheel according to RAC research across more than 300 new car models. Without a spare, a garage visit requires recovery before the tyre can even be fitted. A mobile tyre fitter eliminates the recovery cost entirely by coming to you.
The Calculation Most Drivers Miss: A garage fitting costs 70 pounds for the tyre. Add 120 pounds recovery, 8 pounds parking, 2 hours of lost work time, and you are looking at 200 pounds or more for a job Mobile Tyres Co would complete for 70 pounds at your roadside. Mobile is not more expensive. It is cheaper in almost every real scenario.
Is There a Callout Fee or Out-of-Hours Charge?
No. Mobile Tyres Co charges no callout fee on any job, in any location, at any hour. There is also no out-of-hours surcharge for night-time, weekend or bank holiday callouts. A tyre replacement at midnight costs exactly the same as one at noon.
This matters because many roadside and emergency tyre services apply surcharges of 40 to 80 pounds for callouts outside standard hours. When those charges are added to the tyre fitting cost, a quote that looks competitive becomes significantly more expensive in practice. Mobile Tyres Co’s quoted price is always the final price.

Mobile Tyres Co pricing is consistent across all coverage areas. Whether you are in Berkhamsted, Chorleywood, Aylesbury, Hemel Hempstead, Dunstable or Watford, the same pricing structure applies.

How to Get an Accurate Quote in Under Two Minutes
Getting a precise price requires four pieces of information. Have the following ready when you call:
- Your tyre size — printed on the sidewall in the format 205/55 R16 91V
- Number of tyres — how many need repair or replacement
- Your location — street name and postcode so we can confirm coverage and dispatch time
- Nature of the problem — flat tyre, slow puncture, visible damage, or planned replacement
You will receive a complete, fixed price immediately — covering tyre supply, fitting, balancing and disposal. No commitment is required until you confirm. If you are uncertain about tyre size or grade, the technician will advise you over the phone before dispatch.
Not Sure of Your Tyre Size? Check the sidewall of any tyre on the vehicle — the size is always printed there. Alternatively, open the driver’s door and look for the tyre size sticker on the door frame or door edge. It is also shown in your vehicle handbook. Tell us the size and your vehicle make and model and we will confirm the correct specification.
