The average price of a new tire for a semi-truck is around $500 each, though there are many factors that can influence this, and some new tires can be found for less than $200. Tire quality and ratings can vary wildly, so it’s crucial to consider the tire quality and any safety concerns when shopping for one or more new tires for your semi. Commercial trucks rely on their tires every second of every day so generally speaking, tires aren’t going to be the ideal place to look for the cheapest option at the expense of quality.
Tires on your rig should be replaced once they no longer meet minimum tread depth requirements or have other damage that reduces their performance or compromises their safety. Most semi-tires can be driven on for about 100,000 miles before needing to be replaced. This is also significantly affected by the maintenance and upkeep of the tires and truck overall, which can drastically shorten or lengthen the 100,000-mile average. For example, having under-inflated tires can reduce life expectancy by between 10% and 15%.
Tires for semis can only be repaired under certain circumstances. Federal regulations state that a commercial truck tire can only be repaired if it is a steer tire on the cab. This means that not only does the tire damage need to qualify as repairable, such as being in the tread and not the sidewall, but it also only applies to the front two tires on the rig. Additionally, the ruptures must be only on the crown area of the tire, and any patches needed must not overlap. Any other drive tires or load-bearing tires cannot legally be repaired and must simply be replaced.
