How Much Do Off-Road Tires Cost? Typical Prices by Type and Size
Last updated on October 26th, 2026 at 08:03 pm
New off-road tires cost about $130 per tire at the budget end and $520 or more for 35-inch tires on 20-inch wheels. Four common truck sizes listed on October 20, 2026 added up to $1,360 to $2,080 per set before mounting, tax and alignment.
Size and load range move the price more than the label on the sidewall. A 35x12.50R20 all-terrain listed for more than a 35x12.50R17 mud-terrain, so match the size to your rig first and the tread type second.
Off-road tire prices by tire and size
| Tire (type) | Size | Listed price per tire | Set of four | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 (A/T) | LT285/70R17 | $339.99 | $1,359.96 | BJ’s Tire |
| Nitto Ridge Grappler (hybrid A/T and M/T) | LT275/70R18 | $360.00 | $1,440.00 | TFS Wheels |
| Toyo Open Country M/T (M/T) | 35x12.50R17 | $396.08 | $1,584.32 | NTW |
| Falken Wildpeak A/T4W (A/T) | 35x12.50R20LT | $520.00 | $2,080.00 | TFS Wheels |
At the low end, one retailer’s “starting price” list for its off-road picks (sizes not stated) shows about $129 for a budget mud-terrain up to about $299 for a rugged-terrain tire, according to SimpleTire. Those are the cheapest sizes of each model, not what most trucks need.
A retailer guide from October 2024 puts sets of four for 22- to 26-inch wheels at roughly $1,500 to $4,000, per Dually Wheels. Treat every figure here as a snapshot and get an out-the-door quote before you buy.
Why tire size matters more than tire type

The table shows the pattern. The all-terrain KO3 in a 17-inch size cost less than the mud-terrain Toyo in a 35-inch size, and the 35x12.50R20 all-terrain cost the most of the four. The same SimpleTire list has an all-terrain at about $172 and a mud-terrain at about $231, so type alone does not set the price.
What does move it:
- Diameter and width. Taller, wider tires use more rubber and cost more than 31- or 32-inch tires of the same model.
- Wheel size. The 20-inch size was the most expensive of the four listings above.
- Load range. LT tires with load range E use heavier construction than P-metric tires; see our load range C vs D vs E guide before paying for more than you need.
- Brand and features. Severe-snow certification, extra sidewall protection and premium compounds add cost.
- Retailer and promotions. The same tire changes price by seller, rebate and season.
Cost calculator: out-the-door price and cost per 1,000 miles
Based on the arithmetic of your own inputs. The starting values are the BJ’s Tire KO3 price and install line from the table above and a 50,000-mile example life; replace them with your quote.
Use the price and fee from your own quote. The fee box covers mounting, balancing, valve stems and disposal; tax rules differ by state, so enter the rate your shop charges.
For tire life, the cheapest number is the one you will actually get, and it depends on alignment, rotation and how hard you drive. A tire that costs more per set can still cost less per mile if it lasts longer.
What a set costs per 1,000 miles
| Tire | Set of four (tires only) | Assumed life | Cost per 1,000 miles |
|---|---|---|---|
| BFGoodrich KO3 LT285/70R17 (A/T) | $1,359.96 | 40,000–60,000 miles | $22.67–$34.00 |
| Falken Wildpeak A/T4W 35x12.50R20LT (A/T) | $2,080.00 | 40,000–60,000 miles | $34.67–$52.00 |
| Toyo Open Country M/T 35x12.50R17 (M/T) | $1,584.32 | 30,000–40,000 miles | $39.61–$52.81 |
Mud-terrains can cost more per mile even when the sticker price is lower, because they wear faster. They also cost fuel economy, as we cover in do mud tires affect gas mileage.
If you mostly drive pavement and graded roads, read can you off-road with street tires first. You may not need an aggressive tire at all.
Costs beyond the tire

BJ’s Tire’s quote for the KO3 set of four showed an $80 installation line at one store on October 20, 2026. That is a single quote; ask any shop for an out-the-door price that includes everything below.
- Mounting, balancing, new valve stems and a disposal fee.
- TPMS sensor service if you change wheels.
- An alignment after a lift or when you move to larger tires.
- A matching full-size spare if you want one that fits your new tires.
- Speedometer and gearing changes on a taller tire. Check them with our tire size calculator and regear calculator.
Wheels are separate. Larger tires often need different wheels, so see wheel offset and backspacing for 35s before ordering. All our free tools are on the off-road calculators page.
How to avoid overspending
- Match the tire to how you drive. If you rarely leave graded roads, an all-terrain tire costs less to buy and run than a mud-terrain.
- Buy four, not two, on 4x4 and all-wheel-drive vehicles so tread depth stays even.
- Compare out-the-door prices from at least two sellers and check manufacturer rebates.
- Compare cost per 1,000 miles, not sticker price, using the calculator above.
- Read the treadwear warranty and road-hazard terms; they vary by tire and seller.
FAQ
How much do all-terrain tires cost?
In the listings above, from $339.99 each for a LT285/70R17 to $520 for a 35x12.50R20LT. Popular all-terrains such as the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W and Continental TerrainContact A/T show starting prices of about $172 and $200 per tire at SimpleTire, size not stated.

Often, but not always. Size and brand change the price more than type, and mud-terrains usually cost more per mile because they wear faster.
How much does it cost to put off-road tires on?
One BJ’s Tire quote showed $80 to install a set of four, but shop fees differ. Ask for an out-the-door price including balancing, valve stems, disposal and tax.
