Owning any vehicle is an investment and the money you put into repairs and maintenance will help your car stay on the road as long as possible. But that doesn’t mean you can’t save money while keeping up with your maintenance needs. You just have to think about how (and when) you’ll cut costs.
Sometimes, a money-saving strategy that sounds logical on paper won’t be as effective as you’d expect in reality. That’s the case for buying cheap tires as opposed to name-brand wheels. Tires are meant to last for years, and they play a crucial role in helping you drive safely. With all that in mind, springing for more expensive tires is almost always worth it.
