    Everyone should have a universal basic income!

    In the long run, some renters wind up paying twice as much for their tires as they would have paid if they’d bought them outright.

    Would only do that if you’re desperate. I’d bet 10:1, the tires in OP result from poverty.

    PS: you’re not wrong!

      Or, alternatively, we should build cities where owning a car isn’t a requirement to hold down a job, and keep piloting a two ton death machine as a privilege, not a right

      Jesus, at $20/mo you would pay for a full set of the (expensive) OEM tires on my car in less than a year. They’re warrantied for 3 years of standard mileage, so even worse than double.
