        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.

        Lol. Why pay extra for an SUV? It’s like throwing money away. You can easily get sedan tires under $100.

      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.
