Tires. They don't need to be expensive, but don't get weird off brand tires. I like Generals.

Decent quality tires are way cheaper than a new car when you can't stop or turn when you really need to.

Michelin, Continental and Kumho are the best value for quality in the EU

Each to their own tho

This so much - dont buy Chinese! Partner's car had Chinese branded tires on it when we got it, they were actually dangerous, so little grip. Friend of mine runs a tire shop, he says that when he has customers of Chinese origin they often dont buy the Chinese brand tires because they know they dont meet Western standards.

Also, definitely dont buy cheap Chinese tires if you are intending to invade Ukraine

China make plenty of good tires and I would put money on it that they actually manufacture tires for a lot more "western" brands than you would expect.
