I'll agree that most folks don't pay much attention to the running costs of something they buy or lease. When we got the CX-7, I knew I was in for a shock when we had to replace the tires.

If two tires are exactly the same height and width, but one has a 17" opening and the other has a 20" opening, doesn't the 20" tire have less rubber?
Am I missing something?

Might be more expensive to make. But most likely, it’s a vestige of when big tires were low production, so had to cost more. People expect it, and will pay it, so they charge it.

My truck has 22's and the tires are a long way from replacement.
My wife's car has a 19" wheel option (vs. standard 18"), which was one option I could do without.

Now if only they could get the ratio of price to be the same as the ratio of wheel size. For instance, get a 20" tire to cost 20/19ths what a 19" tire costs in the same size. That would be preferable to the current pricing scheme.
I bet the auto auto makers added cost is negligible

I think you'll see a substantial difference.

Just looked up my tires at Tirerack. 275/45/22 Pirelli Scorpion Zero's 41 lbs $235 each.
I still think it makes business sense to at least have 2 sedans. a small/medium, and a medium/large. Like a Jetta/Passat if you don't want too small, or Elantra/Sonata. Do it right, and will be 2 lengths of the same basic car so cheaper to produce.

Probably would be fleet only by then.

and a new Blazer. Not bad looking. I can't see us every buying one or my wife driving it (somehow, she has become a serious brand snob. I created a monster buying her an Acura I guess).

Saw a Panamera wagon thingy this afternoon.
Color does not help and interior pretty normal GM, underwhelming.

At $46K, you'd think they could find a better class of interior than Playskool.

RE.: Your wife being a 'brand snob'; I am too, but a reverse-brand snob, LOL. I'm proud that the most I ever paid for a new vehicle was $24K and that was our '05 Uplander van. Our '19 Equinox LT was two grand below that. And I think that's too much money, LOL.
Another Chevy I just can't like : Camaro. I've tried. I don't.
On the other hand, I very-much like the C7 Corvette in base trim. A good buy too in that class I think.
I read they take their last C7 orders on June 23.
What are are the odds? I wonder where the third one they built is?
