THE SMART APPROACH
WHY COST PER MILE
MATTERS
A $100 tire that lasts 30,000 miles costs $0.033/mile. A $150 tire lasting 60,000 miles costs only $0.025/mile. The “expensive” tire saves you money.
Most drivers focus on sticker price, but smart buyers look at total cost of ownership. Premium tires often deliver better value through longer life, better fuel economy, and improved safety.
Use our calculator to find tires that fit your budget and deliver the best long-term value.
