How much does an accident cost

When choosing tires, almost every buyer pays attention to the price. Of course, this is logical, since even the cheapest tires are a significant expense. But it's worth remembering one more thing - when buying tires, you should think about the price you'll have to pay in the future. Here, as never before, the proverb "a miser pays twice" fits perfectly. Moreover, in the case of buying tires, the next payment will be significantly more than the amount spent on tires.

Economizing should be reasonable. The question is, is it better to buy cheaper tires with a good "working" tread, or try to drive on an old set until the legitimate 1.6 mm residual tread depth?

No matter how smart your car is, you should understand that no driving assistance system can compensate for worn-out tires. Therefore, you should think about how much every 10 centimeters of your car costs. Yes, that's exactly how you should calculate the cost of an accident. Considering that there are no casualties in the accident, the losses cannot be measured by any amount of money. The more expensive the car, the more expensive the spare parts for it. Add to this the cost of service, painting, and time spent. From this perspective, the cost of tires is no longer a significant issue. This is why manufacturers don't stop striving to reduce braking distance on the road, even if the improvement is no longer measured in meters, but in tens of centimeters.
