Costco tires prices in Canada: what a set of 4 really costs, installed

Costco installs tires at $0, so a set of 4 costs the tire price plus a provincial recycling fee of $3 to $7 a tire, any TPMS service pack, and sales tax. Fees by province, a worked example, and Costco's current $60 and $100 brand offers.

Costco tires prices in Canada are close to the out-the-door price, because Costco charges $0 to install tires bought from its Tire Centres. On top of the tires you pay a provincial recycling fee of roughly $3 to $7 a tire, a TPMS service pack if your car has pressure sensors, and sales tax. Our advice: buy during a brand offer, which takes $60 to $100 off a set of 4, and compare installed totals, not tire prices.

What do Costco tires really cost, installed?

Here is everything on a Costco tire bill, checked on Costco's tire site on October 3, 2026:

Line on the billCost at Costco
The tiresThe listed price
Mounting and installation$0 (members, tires bought from Costco)
Balancing, rotations, flat repairs$0 for the life of the tires
Nitrogen inflation and new rubber valve stemsIncluded
TPMS service packExtra, on cars with pressure sensors; ask for the amount when you book
Provincial tire recycling feeSet by your province, per tire (below)
GST, HST or PSTOn the total

What's included for free, and the 5-year road hazard warranty, is explained in our Costco Tire Centre guide.

How much is the tire recycling fee in each province?

Every new tire carries a recycling fee that funds the province's tire recycling program; it's the same at any retailer. Passenger and light truck tires, from the national summary by the Canadian Association of Tire Recycling Agencies (November 2023):

ProvinceFee per tire
British Columbia$6.50 (since January 1, 2024)
Alberta$4 (reported as $5 since October 2024)
Saskatchewan$5
Manitoba$4
OntarioSet by each tire company's program ($4.50 under eTracks)
Quebec$4.50
New Brunswick$4.50
Nova Scotia$4.50
Prince Edward Island$4
Newfoundland and Labrador$3

Fees change, so your receipt shows the exact amount. For a set of 4, the fee adds about $12 to $26.

What does a set of 4 Costco tires cost?

Example only, not a quote: 4 tires at $200 each, bought in British Columbia during a $100-off-4 brand offer.

LineAmount
4 tires at $200$800.00
Brand offerminus $100.00
Installation, balancing, valve stems$0.00
B.C. recycling fee, 4 at $6.50$26.00
Before tax and any TPMS service pack$726.00

Sales tax is added to that total. At another shop, add whatever it charges to mount and balance, and check whether rotations and flat repairs are free later.

When are Costco tires on sale?

Costco runs brand offers on sets of 4 in rotation, each for a few weeks. The offers on Costco's tire site on October 3, 2026:

BrandOfferDates
Michelin$100 off 4 or more passenger or light truck tiresSeptember 28 to November 1, 2026
BFGoodrich$60 off a set of 4September 28 to November 1, 2026
Bridgestone$100 off a set of 4 eligible tiresAugust 31 to October 4, 2026
Firestone$60 off a set of 4 eligible tiresAugust 31 to October 4, 2026

If you need winter tires, buy during an offer and book early in the season, before the first snow. Our winter tire guide covers when you must have them in Quebec and B.C.

Do you pay extra for TPMS sensors at Costco?

Possibly. Many newer cars have a tire pressure sensor in each wheel, and Costco's tire site says TPMS service pack fees may apply: new seals and parts so the sensor stays sealed to the wheel. New sensors, if one fails, cost more. Ask for the TPMS charge when you book, so the total has no surprises.

Are Costco tires cheaper than other tire shops?

Often, once you compare installed totals. The recycling fee is the same everywhere, so the difference is the tire price, what the shop charges to mount and balance, and what later services cost.
