According to my trusty copy of Nicholson, motorists should budget three tenths of a penny per mile for tyres, which should last for 10,000 miles (using the spare as well). That works out as £2 10s per tyre, which is about £180 in today's money allowing for inflation (sorry) since the 1930's.
With no MOT testing, I guess a tyre would be only be considered worn out when the canvas started showing through, as evidenced by plenty of period photos !
