Everything costs more on luxury cars: insurance, tires, and especially major repairs. I figured there were some performance tires out there that got pretty steep, but I had NO idea that recommended tires for those cars got so pricey!

Here is another factor to take into consideration when doing your car shopping. The recommended tires for Mercedes, BMW, Lexus et cetera are upwards to $450-$600.00 per tire! When I first purchased my car I spent an extra 400 dollars to purchase a tire warranty. As it turns out my first road side flat was paid for in full with that warranty. Without it, I'm not sure if the paramedics would have gotten there in time to get my heart back on track when the guy told me the price per tire! “But with new tires running between $60-$200 each plus installation, replacing four tires can give your wallet a serious whack”
