700$!? Where are you located that tires are this expensive? Here in Austria they are between 40€-80€ per 1 tire.

I paid $700 2 years ago for tires for my SUV. SUV tires are a bit more expensive - but they’re still not cheap for sedans. I’m in the USA.

Lol. Why pay extra for an SUV? It’s like throwing money away. You can easily get sedan tires under $100.

They are usually larger. SUV tyres are at least R17 (or R19 if you’re super fancy) while sedan tyres are between R14 and R16.

For a second I imagined the shopping cart wheels (with the one that is bad) on a car.

A new set of 4 tires plus alignment for my compact crossover is about $900-930 in the US.

You can have your alignment checked before getting the alignment. Often you won’t need one. Every time I’ve checked everything was perfectly fine still.

Smaller tires cost less and xovers usually need 4 tires if there’s a certain thread difference. My mazda 3 cost 600 for 16" Michelin crossclimate2, which are considered good tires and also up there in price.

Well he was suddenly 3 inches higher. So probably a big car/something with big tires. Almost Everything is more expensive on bigger cars.

My car has AWD and 35 profile ties. It’s at least 1200USD for anything that doesn’t suck because I have to change all four at the same time.

I’m in Ohio and drive a Subaru Crosstrek. 255/17/55 tires arent cheap. I could have gotten discount tires somewhere, but i work at a union tire plant and so i got the premium tires that i make for a living.

Thinking more about it, what brand tires di you buy? Chinese firms have been flooding the market with cheap tires to undercut domestic union made tires in America and Europe.

40 Euro for a tire? Is that stolen and/or used?
