We decided to replace the tires on all three cars since they were over 5 years old and two of them had over 50,000 miles on them. For the two cars, it was about $700 at Costco. I just got the cost for changing my 2003 F-150 tires, over $1000, despite costing only $660 in 2018, and that included a discount for no cost installation..
I was shocked at the quote, despite knowing Costco usually has the lowest tire prices. I asked why the price had gone up. They responded that tire prices started going way up during Covid due to a silica shortage and the prices have never come down.
The tires on have 33,000 miles on them and have good tread. However, they are 8 years old, and the rubber has deteriorated due to age. Also, I noticed that my tires were slipping sometimes when starting from a stop on a wet road. I decided to bite the bullet and pay $1000 for new tires, mainly for safety reasons and the current plan is to keep the truck a few more years.
