My financial situation is different these days, but I don't want to cheap out on tires. I do want to anticipate the cost.
My winter tires are X-Ices; I bought the current ones in November. I typically run winter tires roughly late October to mid May (ie, when Loveland/A Basin open to Mother's Day).
Currently, my 2018 Outback has the tires that came with it. They're sub par, but I'm going to run them until they wear down, I guess.
Anyway, it looks like we paid about $550 for the X-Ices at Discount Tire, plus some additional fees - some of which were for wheels and sensors, which I'll already have for future purchases.
Would decent all seasons be about the same cost? We're talking primarily commuting about 15 miles each way with some traffic, some in-town driving, and of course a drive up I-70 every two or three weeks. Very rarely, there might be a dirt road section. My expectation would be that I'd need to drive in rain, but snow would be unexpected.
I feel like I bought new winter tires every 3 years or so; does that sound right? Yearly mileage (across both sets of tires) would be 16-20k.
