In my twenties, the junk yard was the tire store. I never saw the inside of an actual store with waiting rooms and lifts until I was 33 and married with my first kid.

My guess is, now you’re solvent, and living comfortably, if not well off.

I hope I’m right.

Thrifty habits are formed early!

Three of my families cars have full sets of used tires on them. Mine have been on for a year and still have half the tread life on them. $35 each for Continental tires.

there have been a few times where I bought used tires from discount tire. They got me through until I could get better ones. once I got 2 front tires which were practically new- they were factory tires that some guy didn't like for some reason and had them changed after a few thousand miles. my bonus.
