Guessing the materials cheap but the cost is in the manufacturing process?

How come a tyre for all vehicles, car, motorbike, BMX, road bike, mountain bike all seem to cost about £40? Such varying amounts of material.
Not many car tyres are £40 any more. Remember £40 buys you a high performance bicycle tyre but a low quality car tyre, there are plenty of lower end bike tyres for £10-15. But car tyres do have economies of scale because they’re made in significantly higher numbers - that’s why they’re comparatively cheaper given the amount of material.
