Driving me batty. Maintain three cars running this size-- two prii and my kids' Camry got upsized from 14 inchers. I try to keep a stash around but am down to one, so have been shopping for more.
Good used ones are going for $25 or more, which is absurd when new ones start at $50. A size up or down there are plenty of out there.
Speaking of which, the $50-75 range is full of unknown Chinese knockoff brands. I have to wonder if these are placeholders for the "real" tires that are unobtanium.
There were some Mastercraft touring tires on sale for literally 48 hours but then went back up in price.
So I spot some Kumho KU27s on walmart.com for $62 and jump at the opportunity to buy some. Now I get a message that they're back ordered.
What gives? Doordashers and taxi Prii running an unexpected amount of mileage? Poor planning on every makers part? I reiterate, other sizes don't have it this bad.
