But you don't know what tyres he's been quoted and you haven't said what you bought? Comparing something like a Pirelli to some random wakachangchang tyre you run isn't apples with apples. $400 might be on the dear side, but it could be a top of the range tyre.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

Ah, so you are using tyres made from recycled toilet plungers... no wonder they are so cheap.

I ended up getting GoodYear 225/35/18 for $240 each. Seem pretty good tyres to me. Lucky i got my Chinese ones checked, apparently they had less than a week left before they were going to blow
