Cost of Changing Tires on a Truck Trailer: Factors and Estimates

Changing tires

The cost to change the tires on a truck trailer can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size and type of tires being replaced, the location of the tire change, and any additional services that may be required. Here are some estimates of the cost to change tires on a truck trailer:

  • If you are just looking to replace the tires on a standard single-axle trailer with standard light truck tires, you can expect to pay around $100-$150 per tire for the tire itself, plus an additional $100-$150 per tire for installation, for a total cost of around $200-$300 per tire.

  • If you are replacing the tires on a larger trailer, such as a multi-axle trailer or a trailer with specialized tires, the cost will likely be higher. For example, the cost of replacing a set of super single tires (wide-base single tires used on some multi-axle trailers) can range from $600-$800 per tire, depending on the size and type of tire.

  • If you need additional services, such as a tire repair or tire balance, the cost will also be higher. For example, a tire repair can cost $50-$100 per tire, while a tire balance can cost $20-$50 per tire.

It's also worth noting that these estimates are based on the cost of changing the tires at a tire dealership or trucking service center. If you have the tools and experience to change the tires yourself, you can save on labor costs. However, it's important to note that changing tires on a truck trailer can be a complex and dangerous task, and it's not recommended unless you have the proper training and equipment
