Default Re: tires

You would think, that for what tires cost for a Model A, they would last longer than 10,000 miles.

Just replaced a set of Michelins on the everyday car, bought them from Tire Rack on sale Michelin is changing that model tire, for $650 and the first set of identical tires went for close to 70,000 miles and still have life left in them, not yet at the wear bar.

Let's see, $800 per set and more for Model A tires that are worn out in 10,000 miles, you'd have to buy 7 sets to make 70,000 miles at $800-$1,000 a set that works out to $5600-$7000 for tires. Plus they are a pain to change compared to modern tubeless
