A metric fuckton each, four metric fucktons per vehicle.

They're special and IIRC have a liner to reduce NVH because that's one of their selling points.

Yeah I know how much the tires cost. I want to know how many times they've replaced them because if they drove like me they would have spent all that money and then some, just on the tires. I'm a little skeptical of their total.

I just posted about tires. My single data point is that "65,000 mile" tires lasted 17,000 thanks to high torque. Decided to replace those "eco-friendly" tires with "made for EVs" tires which cost substantially more, and I expect would last only a "normal" distance.

Between Nissan, the tire manufacturer, and contending the "factory spec" was defective by mis-design & thus at least partially covered under warranty, I managed to get the price way down.

Totally depends on the wheel type. Our 19" was ~1k for all 4 and lasted ~35k. It's a bit but not as bad as you make it out to be.
