Tires can cost anywhere from $200 each to $350 each depending on the brand and where you purchase. The summer tires last about 20,000 give or take, so roughly every two years. Insurance is gonna be higher than the Maxima also. Overall, the maintenance cost is roughly the same if you intend on doing some of the work yourself. Some dealers charge around $90 for an oil change using Ester oil for example. "Tune ups" will be the same as the Max, but any sort of modifications like an exhaust upgrade will usually be more expensive. The little things tend to add up and your pockets will be empty before you know it with this car. It's all worth it to me though. You only live once, right?
