How much is a tyre?
Tyre prices vary in size and make. The bigger the tyre the you will pay( cost of all the rubber).
The markings on the tyre mean:
the 195 means how wide the tyre is
the 55 means the height as a percentage of the width
R means the tyre is a radial construction
16 means the tyre size in inch diameter
87 means the load capacity
V means the tyre speed indicator
The other thing to consider is the make of tyre which will also effect the cost. So if you go into a tyre place like,

or
National Tyres http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/tyre_search?gclid=CISMzp-tgMkCFcGVGwodL-UHHA&gclsrc=aw.ds
you can ask for a cheap budget tyre for about £40 to £50 which is ok. But if you ask for a make like Dunlop or Michelin( this is just two brands of lots) then the price will be a bit more. But the tyre will be of a better quality which could make the difference between getting 25000 miles out of your tyre to a cheeper one lasting about 15000 miles. Also the safety side needs to be considered. The better quality tyre tends to have better stopping distances when braking and will be less likely to deteriorate.
