A reminder how expensive tires are.

A reminder how expensive tires are.
I just had 4 premium rated tires mounted and balanced on my Camry. They come with free lifetime rotation and balance. These tires are rated 65,000 miles, I spent the same amount that a rear tire cost me on my Ultra Classic. Some how it just doesn't seem right but that's the way it is.

Moto tires are just plain expensive. Mostly I'd guess because there are probably 1000 car and light truck tires sold for every mc tire sold.

How many F150s are out on the road using that size tire.....?
How many Camry's using that tire...?
Dont think it takes a rocket surgeon mathematician to figure out the economics of scale here.

One gallon of avgas (100LL) costs about $5.50+/- on average; there's just so little avgas produced compared to auto fuel - so economy of scale has much to do with it ... along with a little bit of profiteering.
All that being said, it you blow a tire on a Camry of F-150 its a bad thing, maybe even a bad day but if you blow a tire on a MC, it could be a life changer ... or life ender.
