There's no flat rate for four new tires — the out-the-door total depends on your tire size, the brand tier you choose, and what's bundled in: mounting, balancing, valve stems, and disposal. Philadelphia Tire Shop quotes the exact number after checking your vehicle, not off a price list.
What's actually bundled into 'out the door'?
A bare tire price and an out-the-door price are two different numbers, and the gap between them is usually where the surprise lives.
- Mounting and balancing on all four wheels
- New valve stems
- Disposal of the old tires
- Any state and local tax due at the sale
What moves the total up or down?
Tire size is the biggest swing — a compact sedan's tires and a full-size truck's tires aren't priced anywhere near the same, even within one brand. Brand tier matters almost as much: an economy line, a mid-tier all-season, and a premium touring tire can carry noticeably different price tags for the same vehicle.
TPMS sensors are the other line item people don't expect. If a sensor needs reprogramming or replacing during the swap, that gets added to the total and explained before it's charged, not buried in it.
Why isn't there a price list on this page?
Tire pricing shifts with size and brand availability often enough that a posted range would be wrong for a good share of the cars that read it — either scaring off a driver whose total would actually be lower, or undercutting one whose vehicle needs a larger, pricier tire. A number given after seeing the vehicle is the only one worth trusting.
Do you match or beat prices from online tire retailers?
Bring in what you're comparing and the shop will walk through what that price does and doesn't include — shipping to a separate installer, mounting, balancing, and disposal aren't always in an online sticker price. The out-the-door total is the only fair comparison.
Does the price include an alignment?
Not automatically. An alignment is checked and priced separately, and it's worth asking about if the old tires wore unevenly — new tires on a misaligned car just wear the same way again.
