£4500 on mine so far and it will swallow another grand easily in the next 3 months.
What tyres and how much are they?
There is an eBay/online link to a place that sells tyres and they are rather cheap compared to other places.

Had mine for 18mths (54 reg 156k miles) and only spent £550 on her! Most of that was bigger wheels and tyres which according to SWMBO'd I didn't need anyway 
Then again I do my own mechanics which will save a bundle I suppose! Dread to think what my labour costs would've been!! 2004 Disco 3 TDV6 SE

My figure includes a set of tyres, all my mechanical work done, labour as well and all the parts i've bought it.
Doesn't include wheel alignment costs, or upgrades for it or buying tarty bits.
It does drive way better now, even Disco Mikey while he won't admit it, is a touch jealous of how mine drives and rides over his... 
Soon, i'll have more power than his as well...

Don't also count up fuel useage and costs.
I showed a mate my fuel app and he worked out in 18 months i've put just under £7,000 through the fuel tank and out the back of it.
Thank god about 60% of that was work miles so i got business mileage.
