Before you buy a new pair of tyres check to see what the maximum size you can go up to is; wheel rims are different shapes depending on the type of bicycle and some of them don't take wide tyres very well. The safest option is to go to a local bike shop and ask for the cheapest tyres they've got. A pair of high quality tyres will set you back £40 or £50 but there's nothing wrong with cheap budget tyres at around £20 per pair so long as you aren't planning on using them for racing. Try asking on Freecycle or Freegle to see if anyone in your area has a spare set to fit your bike, I've dumped several pairs of nearly-new tyres in the past.

You can get by for 10-15 bucks for tires and 20 bucks for pedals if you go the cheep route, but beware. You get what you pay for. The tires will wear much quicker and the pedals will be much more susceptible to break than better quality and yes, more expensive parts you get from a local bike shop. Go to a local bike shop, explain you need something cheep, and you might get some older, maybe even slightly used tires or pedals. Like I said you might pay more, but they will last much longer.

You can get tires at Walmart for about $10 a piece. A set of pedals for about the same price. But this stuff will be ****...You fail to mention what kind of tires and pedals. Road, mountain, BMX....But from your post I'd guess you're not serious about riding. So Walmart should be just fine for you.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING BICYCLE RELATED AT TARGET OR WAL-MART! All they sell is complete crap, and you would be better off going to a REAL bike shop.
It also depends what your idea of "average" is. To me, an average road or mountain bike tire is $35 to $50, and an average set of pedals is $120.

hey jaedyn, its ok to look for cheap pedals, i understand, the best way to get a good bargain at maybe some good pedals at ebay that way you are able to get maybe a brand of what you are looking for half the price, or even cheaper.
or pop by your LBS and ask for used pedals or tires? they might have some lying around and might give you for free. try it theres no harm in asking (the bike shop might have some of older stocks and are willing to sell at rock bottom) Cheers

buy it from www.nashbar.com or www.performancebike.com if you want good quality with reasonable price. Sometimes your local bike shop can be pricey so check online first. Walmart or Target have LOW quality stuff for you bike. You get what you pay for. I guess it will be okay to buy it from them if you only ride your bike a dozen times a year.
