4 new car tires, 850 USD. Is that expensive or cheap in your country?

I guess since 850 USD is almost 4 months of salary here, and the fact my father changes tires multiple times a year... I'd say new tires are a lot cheaper in my country.

Can't say they're high quality, though. I don't think a high quality tier needs to be changed this much.

Maybe that says a lot about our "bumpy" country roads too... !LOLZ

Haha several times a year? For comparison, my tires are 11 years old. Still think 850 bucks is quite steep though.

Yeah, either my country's bumpy roads are much worse that yours, or that every Tire they sell here is on brink of failure, which makes their cheap prices make sense. !LOLZ

I think it depends on the tires. I paid about $600 for basic car tires. I might save more at a discount tire shop. But I tend to visit the one shop as they offer free alignment and flat repair with my new tires.

yeah that's my approach as well. Your time is also worth something, right

just googled and it is about 2x more than in Japan after taxes.

I thiiink The road tolls and parking here costs more than the US and getting a drivers license costs $1500 USD and 2 weeks of intense study though. Crazy

Haha a driver's license in Norway is closer to 4k USD and a lot more study (and practice) needed than 2 weeks. More like 6 months - we got a bunch of mandatory practical driving hours + theoretical test. I've had mine for 15 years already though, so I had to look it up

On the cheaper side. Depends on the car. Snow tires for my van this winter were around 1300

Nice. In this case we're talking summer tires for a 4WD. Seems to be a decent price then
