I need to replace both of the front tires soon and I received a quote at Costco Tire Center, each tire coming up to $150!
The tire itself is $137 and the extra fees is for the wheel mounting and other handling charges. The brand of the tire is Michelin so I know it is a dependable brand.
1) Are these tires worth forking out $150 each or are there other brands that is equal (or close enough) to what Michelin tires can do? I know I get what I pay for but I don't mind sacrificing performance or wet traction for durability.
I am not looking for performance but more of durability that will last me for many years.
2) And are tire insurance worth the investment?
