What it does
Combines price, quantity, install, and fees over warranty or expected tread miles.
Rank a cheaper short-life tire against a pricier long-life tire on lifetime cost.
Estimate remaining life from a wear sample and a tread-depth reading.
Divide the total cost of the set, including install and fees, by the miles the set will actually deliver. This site publishes no tire prices, so the calculator takes your own quote: enter price per tire, quantity, the fees, and either a warranty figure or a tread-depth projection, and it returns the cost per mile you can hold two quotes against.
A cheaper tire with a short tread life can cost more per mile than a pricier long-wearing tire. Cost per mile reveals the real lifetime value.
From how many 32nds of an inch have worn over the miles driven, projected down to the 2/32 inch legal pull point where the tire should be replaced.
