    That would have to be one huge payment, though. I can only think of a few cases in my entire life that I’ve bought a tire.

    Seems better to me that they collect the taxes from everyone from the income tax and/or business taxes. Everyone uses the roads, even if they don’t have a car.

      Really, it’s just a percentage of the cost of the tire. Just like with gas. Avg person drives 10-15k miles per year… 4 tires need to be replaced every 30-60k miles depending on the tires you buy.

      You pay less if you drive less. But you also do less damage to the roads.
