Anyone who has ever suffered a flat or punctured tire knows how maddening the unexpected cost can be. Tires are expensive, especially if you’re replacing one at a time. Most tire stores in Cincinnati offer cheaper pricing if you buy two or four tires, rather than only one.

Part of this is a safety concern. Tires tend to wear at similar speeds and degree based on how the car is driven. Replacing only one at a time might alter the performance of the others, not to mention the balance and handling of the car overall.

Tires are expensive, but likely the ones you’re in the market for are no where near the cost of the ten most expensive tires in the world.

Before examining the most expensive tires on the market and in order to understand how they’ve become so costly, it helps to consider where they came from.
