Tires are just something drivers keep struggling to find their way around. A mechanic took to Tiktok after seeing far too many people come to his garage without basic knowledge of how financing works, and through a skit gave a crash course on what you can expect when you choose to go down that path.
Car manufacturers tend to try to get everything across the line at a price that works for their customer base and doesn’t attract certain tariffs. Sometimes these companies operate at such fine margins that it truly puts them at risk of going bankrupt if the company makes one small mistake. Maintaining the entire ecosystem that brings your car to life is no cheap task. That’s why every year, a company will do small increments to the brand that already works and you already trust. And that’s not to say they make that much money on it. Where these companies do, however, end up making a lot of money is through spare parts such as tires.
