Snow tires.

"it sure is fun spending $800 on snow tires" said nobody ever.

What necessities have you spent money on that you really would have done something fun with?

Anything to do with keeping a car on the road. An expensive necessity that I resent the more I look at it.

@SunshineGirl agreed!

Yes, any kind of car repair is not fun. Some house stuff like new roof shingles. However, I do have a feeling of peace knowing that things are up to spec.

@JimboSaturn I spent $14,000 getting my chimney rebuilt. I know it had to be done but I've never looked up at the chimney and said " man, that's one beautiful $14,000 chimney". Lol

Is that with rims and balanced?

Sevendays · M

@Degbeme just tire purchase and mounting, balancing.

Degbeme · 70-79, M

@Sevendays Sounds like you did alright. It cost me that roughly 4 years ago.

Sevendays · M

@Degbeme yeah, I think it was a fair price.

It's interesting that snow tires are a thing in some parts of the country and not others. Where I am it's cables or chains. It's actually a requirement. Waaaay less expensive. 800 bucks for products that break down is a money suck.

@JimboSaturn Thanks. And it kind of sucks. That's some snow, but not a crazy amount, yet you still need to put out the money for snow tires. I'm sure there's some geographical considerations but yeah...plowing and cinders is a good way to go.
