How wheel size changes the cost of Nissan Leaf tyres

The cheapest Nissan Leaf fitment to re-tyre is 205/55 R16 91V (ZE0/AZE0) at about £360 for a mid-range fitted set; the dearest is 215/50 R17 91V (ZE0/AZE0) at about £475 — 1.3 times as much.

That is 1 inch of rim, about £115 more per set for each extra inch.

Choosing premium over mid-range brands moves the most expensive set from £475 to £620.

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.
