This is what I was greeted by after a tiring day of work. At least I can now change these things in a matter of minutes. Also CHECK YOUR SPARE TYRE PRESSURES. Mine was at 17 psi, luckily there’s a petrol station round the corner from work.

Man, that tire is so tiny! The last time I changed a tire that small it was on a 350 lb boat trailer.

Haha yeah, 165 65 14. The good thing about such tiny tyres is they’re cheap haha. This tyre was due to be replaced even before the puncture so I got lucky, the tyre on the other side is brand new.

I bet you could probably replace all 4 tires for the cost of one on the cruiser...stupid tires and their cost.

Budget tyres (what I use because cheap skate) are £33 each fitted. So £132 for all 4 fitted.

I agree with Car Guy, OUCH! One tire on my truck was about $140-ish.

33 inch tires yo! I could get down to about $170 a tire if I went with something cheaper though.

That certainly explains it. Truck tires are just not cheap, no matter which way you slice it (that’s how I found out the replacement cost for tires on my truck...friggin’ piece of sheet metal that was closer than I thought when I was making a turn).

Nice. My car uses 185 width but same ratio/diameter as yours. I remember getting a set of winter tires and it was around $370 including taxes for all four tires. I think my dad’s Lexus went into four-figures.

Biggest issue with tires of this size is that all potholes are big potholes.
