It’s what keeps your vehicle grounded to the surface. Don’t trifle with it.

insurance is not a scam. insurance is also a product designed to be profitable by those that take on the assumption of risk.

I didn’t skimp on it, I told the lady I’ll take the same tire but it does feel a bit painful knowing that some rubber tire costs $500 a pop and you’re required to replace in pairs for awd

The two are not mutually exclusive.

I spend a frick pile on tires. My wife’s X5M gets about 15k to 20k on a set and there probably $2500 a set and my Tesla is 2k a set and I get about 30k on them. 37’s for my 250 are about $2200 to $2500 now for a set if I had to guess.


Learn what the UTQG code means when you buy tires and buy accordingly. Then you will get tire sets that last longer.

Me and my brother bought a gas station/tire shop and I agree 100% with this.

We are in a very small town, but we have been selling tires as cheap as we can but even doing that, they are still expensive.

Yeah tbh I wasn’t even mad at the installation cost, it was actually reasonable. Wholesale tire costs are the real killer

Let me introduce you to a concept called shaving, unless both tires are damaged, you never have to replace both on an AWD axle because a good shop can shave the new one to match. There is a cost-benefit analysis to do because the lower the amount of tread on the undamaged tire, the less cost-effective it is.

FYI your wheels aren't "gold", they are aurum.
