I'm not proud to admit it, but that is pretty close to how my tires were last week. I finally swapped them out, but even with my employee discount i was looking at almost $700 for a set of four. Tires are expensive, and you often dont realize how bad they have gotten until it is too late. Even finding used tires is difficult these days.
That being said, going from exposed wires to fresh tires is amazing. I got in my car and immediately noticed i was sitting 3 inches higher, and it's wonderful driving a car that actually grips the road instead of just sitting on top of them.
700$!? Where are you located that tires are this expensive? Here in Austria they are between 40€-80€ per 1 tire.
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.
