Set of four = two front and two rear tyres at the median price for that exact size, load index and speed rating, plus fitting, balancing, valves and disposal. — means too few market offers to price it.

How wheel size changes the cost of Audi A1 tyres

The cheapest Audi A1 fitment to re-tyre is 185/65 R15 88H (GB) at about £321 for a mid-range fitted set; the dearest is 215/40 R18 89W XL (GB) at about £512 — 1.6 times as much.

That is 3 inches of rim, about £64 more per set for each extra inch.

Choosing premium over mid-range brands moves the most expensive set from £512 to £638.

How often you pay depends on wear as well as price: car tyre cost explains how 73 Auto turns these prices into a yearly figure for a specific car.

Limitations

Factory sizes are from 73 Auto's fitment reference; rows from the editorial compilation are medium confidence and not individually verified against a manufacturer document. A car may have been fitted with other wheels since new: check the size on the tyre itself.
