So we have three cars.  In less than one month I've replaced tires on all three cars.  OMG.  The Tesla DH had an accident and we had to replace two rims and 4 tires.  Cost?  $4k.  Insurance will cover it since it wasn't his fault but we had to pay out of pocket because it was easier to do it at tesla than anywhere else.  And then the other guy's insurance is going to pay.  This happened in mid october.  UGH.

Then our cute subaru?  Well the tires we wearing wrong according to the alignment guy so there was no point in aligning the tires when they were 10 years old and not street legal.  And being old while not used they needed to be reaplaced.   Another $700 for all four new tires a week ago.  I am getting it aligned on Friday.  

Then a week ago on Wednesday, while driving I heard a pop and I struck a nail.  Sigh.  I popped a tire on my Sienna minivan.  Here's an interesting thing, I have AAA, but I'm not sure why. They only tow for free 6 miles.  But instead I used roadside assistance for my insurance and had it towed to my house.  Then towed to a costco, where because it was AWD i had to replace all four tires.  $1000 - $116 for replacement of the one popped tires for 5 years or 40k miles. I had just about 5 years in another month and I had tons of tread.  Why are these tires so expensive?  They are run flats because AWD minivans don't have space for  a spare.

So three sets of tires in a month!  I am so done with cars.  I also am having all three cars realigned because you have to do it after you get new tires.  Plus the costco guy told me my back right minivan tire was worn funny so my alignment was off anyway. It was my front right tire that popped on the minivan.

Seriously the type of murphy's law!
