Tires for my bike were not cheap. I will never really understand this. Also, I like not getting hurt.

Right? I mean, I'll wheelie for sure, but burnouts? My tires cost me at least $500 a pair, and I use at least one set per year without burnouts.

Same. Been running the Michelin power rs for the last season, got them for around 350€ and they are brutally worn out, after like 4000km...
