        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.

        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.

      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.

          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.

      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.

      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.
