minus-squarePolisheocket@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up7·29 days agoI’m looking at $1,200 :(. That’s what I get for getting a limited car with “upgraded” wheels. Gave me a weird tire size
minus-squareFatVegan@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·29 days agoI had a friend who drove a little fiat panda. He once bought the cheapest weirdly branded tires for it and it cost him 16 dollars per tire. Ge was a mechanic so he probably got them cheaper. Still funny that by bicycle tires are way more expensive
minus-squarePolisheocket@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·29 days agoI sold tires as my job in college and geo metro I’m size 13 were like $20 each. The benefits of a small car
minus-squareplantfanatic@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·29 days agoSometimes you can get a steel rim and tire combo for cheaper than just those rubber on the super low profiles. Common thing in Canada for the winter tires as the rims are easily damaged from a skid on ice against a curb.
minus-squarePolisheocket@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·29 days agoGood idea, cars almost 20 years old so maybe swapping to a better rim and tire size can save some money
