I'm asking the "regular joe" here, not the track day race guys.
Just curious because reading some of the posts here in this section, it seems like you guys are buying tires yearly or something. Or it seems people are visiting their tire shops every x months.
My personally, I only see the tire shop once every 4-5 years. So i dont really complain about the wait or know my tire installer personally. I normally buy 2 sets, a winter/all-season set and a summer set. I only do 10-15k miles per year so i dont really burn thru tires. Summer time i have my motorcycle.
If i ever get a nail, i plug it myself. I rotate and fill up my own tires as well.
I rarely get a chance to buy the exact same tire again because in 4-5 years the newest generation has rolled out.
