    I replace my tyres once per year because I average around 25-30 thousand kms per year. They tend to last 10-50 thousand kms depending on usage, but knowing I will be putting the car in for replacing them again a few months later it seems worth just getting done. It makes it simpler and the cost of repairing or replacing my car plus the opportunity cost of not having a working car makes it cheaper to just accept the known cost of replacing the tyres rather than the unknown.
