Tires are a rather small part of the cost of operating a car. You spend probably $.30 to $.60 per mile to run your car. Maybe as low as $.20 if you do your own maintenance and are lucky enough to buy cheap cars that don't break much. And live where insurance is cheap.

Tires only seem expensive because you have to buy them all at once. Put a $5.00 bill in a jar every time you fill the tank and you'll have enough to buy tires when it's time.

Cheap tires can cost you less than $0.01 per mile. Decent tires about $0.01 per mile. Expensive tires might be $0.02 or even $0.03 per mile. You only trim a few percent off your costs by cheaping out. Go for decent at a minimum.
