I care less about how long tires last.
I dont mind paying top dollar for tires that stop well in the winter.
I live on a steep mountaintop in PA and the roads are terrible, The township plows whenever they get to it.
I consider a set of tires that run me $600-$700 a good investment for my family's safety.
Up here we go thru tires and brakes fast, Both on my 03 Ranger and the wife's 08 Liberty.
Fronts go faster on steep winding roads it seems, So I rotate when I see uneven wear.
I will add, PA Highways and roads have gotten really bad lately and it shows on your tires, brakes and suspension components.
Saving even $200 for a set of tires means nothing to me if they don't perform the way I need them to.
And yes, I do care about the safety of other drivers too.
So I try do my part.
