How wheel size changes the cost of Volkswagen ID.3 tyres
The cheapest Volkswagen ID.3 fitment to re-tyre is 215/55 R18 99V XL (ID.3) at about £522 for a mid-range fitted set; the dearest is 215/50 R19 93T with 235/45 R19 99V XL rears (ID.3) at about £688 — 1.3 times as much.
That is 1 inch of rim, about £166 more per set for each extra inch.
2 of the 3 fitments are staggered (different front and rear sizes). Staggered tyres cannot be rotated between axles, so the driven axle usually wears out first and pairs are replaced separately.
Choosing premium over mid-range brands moves the most expensive set from £688 to £831.
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.
