4 signs it’s time to replace your tires
Inflation has been a hot topic for several years, as the cost of everything from groceries to gas to housing has increased consid - erably since 2019. Cars are no exception to that phenomenon, and anyone who has purchased a new car over the last half decade likely experienced some sticker shock when they started their search for a new vehicle. Data from Kelley Blue Book indicates the average cost of a new car was $37,590 in 2019. By 2023, the av - erage cost had risen to $47,899.
