I think a good rule to live by is that anything that comes between you and the ground on a daily basis should be of high quality. Shoes, mattresses, and tires. Depending on your climate, you may not need the all-weather super fancy ones, but a good set of tires will last significantly longer than the cheap ones. Make sure you also look at safety reviews!

I once paid $750 for a set of Michelin HydroEdge all season tires with a 90K mile warranty. They lasted 120,000 miles, making them the cheapest tires I had ever purchased - on a per-mile basis.

Technically good tires last less in most cases haha. Sticky tires use up quicker. That said, I do agree that people shouldn’t skimp. But I’ve run relatively cheap tires on my cars knowing what I’m getting as a person who drove competitively for a while.
