700$!? Where are you located that tires are this expensive? Here in Austria they are between 40€-80€ per 1 tire.
A new set of 4 tires plus alignment for my compact crossover is about $900-930 in the US.
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.
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.
I sold the SUV a few months later, lol. I drive a hatch now.
Just did this too mine were $600 for my car. They weren't even top grade tires or anything crazy. Live in u.s. Midwest
I still have no idea how I got 4 tires for about $180 in the Midwest a few years ago
For a second I imagined the shopping cart wheels (with the one that is bad) on a car.
Well he was suddenly 3 inches higher. So probably a big car/something with big tires. Almost Everything is more expensive on bigger cars.
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.
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.
40 Euro for a tire? Is that stolen and/or used?
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.
I don't know which ones they exactly were but it was from some German company as far as I remember.
