Stop in for a cup of coffee

I always consider tires to be a consumable like gas and oil.

I look at it like this...

$1500 for tires that last 40,000 miles
$4800 for gas to go 40,000 miles
$300 for oil changes over 40,000 miles.

We wouldn’t think much about the cost of tires if we payed for them a little at a time like we do for fuel.
