paid $65 for the last aligment on my F-150
20-30k life on cheapo tires is my average. Good ones are almost always 40k+
that's why I buy the best nowadays. I'm going to spend the same amount of $$$ one way or the other. So I'd rather have the best and only replace them 1/2 as often. That, and it's nice to have really good tires.
everytime I buy cheapo, I end up pissed and kick myself for it
