They're killing me.
Wifey's SUV's one year old tires are shot. Had to get new ones yesterday.......4
Separated a tire on the car trailer yesterday. New set ordered today.....4
Badly cracked sidewalls on the original motorhome tires. New set in April....6
Almost new tires for the Jeep in May ....4. Well, I really didn't need 35's. :D
F250 tow pig needed new tires late last winter.......4
Then there's the boat trailer. That will be ......4
And, my little utility trailer........2.

Not including spares for the above, lawn mower, and wheelbarrow, that's 28 freakin' tires to moniter and replace as needed. :evil:

With all the toy addicts on here, I know I'm not the only one with this problem. I thought it might be fun to have a little poll. What's your total?

Forced to buy one in July... opted to buy two. (2)

Fortuitously, the new toy, the tent trailer takes the same size so those new ones may go to the tent trailer and the utility trailer may get the camper ones, which still look good. (2)

TJ, you know which four are on the Grand. ;-) And, they will probably last as long as my ownership of said. (4)
The Rubi got 4 new ones last October (kept the spare out of rotation when I saw how fast DC Mud Counrtys wear.) (5) I'll rotate the spare in now because next is 35s.
And wife's car is a demo, so those are like free tires. (0)

So I think it is 13.

I usually just burn through used stuff on the back of the race truck and the fronts came off of the honda when I sold it so they are free 95.

Trailer tires are used that came off of a truck I scrapped. Free 95.

Tow rig needs tires but they are .mil take offs so they are cheap 37's $400 a set.

Peanuts truck just got new bfg's ended up being $572 mounted on alloy wheels.

The wheeler tires are slightly used so it'll be a loong time till I replace them again. I'm not sure if I can get a crazy deal like I did on them last time again so I'll treat them half way nicely. :lol:

What's the total tire count? With all trucks, trailers, and projects you have, it must be up there. :D

Jeep-4
Chevy-4
Kia-4
Merc-4
3 motorcycles-6
quad-4
2 trailers-4

That's 30 total. All my trucks and the car take various sizes of tires on 15" wheels, so I keep my eyes out for 15" stuff on CL.

Ford - 4
Jeep - 4 + 1 spare
Camaro - 4
Quad - 4 + 4 spares
Boat trailer - 4 + 1 spare
Mountain bike - 2

I'm only at 20. 28 if you count the spares and mountain bike and all the tires are pretty new except for the rears on the camaro. Need to get them replaced soon

edit - Forgot about the boat and not really sure if a mountain bike counts. New tires are kinda spendy though for good ones

Ford dually - 6
Ford Ranger - 4
Blazer - 4
Equnoix - 4
Toyota PU - 4
Car Hauler - 4
Two Boat Trailers - 4
Two Motorcycles - 4
Yard Tractor - 4

That's 38 tires plus 8 spares. I'd hate to know what it would cost to replace all of them at one time.
