This article is a continuation of the article that summarized the process of deciding to make replacement tires after the tires of a Zero Halliburton suitcase cracked.
When choosing replacement TPU tires,
one of the concerns is probably
"What about the cost-effectiveness?"
Suitcase tires are parts that wear out faster than they look.
While genuine tires are of high quality, replacement can be surprisingly expensive.
Moreover, depending on the manufacturer, it may take time to order them,
and it is not uncommon for them to be out of production and unavailable.
Therefore, we would like to draw your attention to 3D-printed TPU replacement tires.
First, the price is reasonable,
and in many cases, the cost can be significantly reduced compared to genuine repairs.
You might think, "I'm worried about the quality if it's cheap..."
but TPU is a material with excellent elasticity and durability, so it's more than sufficient for everyday use.
What's even better is that the lifespan after replacement is surprisingly long.
TPU is resistant to wear and cracking,
so it will hold up well for daily commutes and travel.
There is almost no impression that it is extremely inferior to genuine parts.
And above all, you'll truly appreciate the cost-effectiveness "when it breaks."
It's overwhelmingly faster, cheaper, and easier to replace than ordering genuine parts,
which is a huge advantage for those who want to use their suitcase for a long time.
It also prevents unnecessary expenses like replacing your suitcase due to tire issues.
I understand the feeling of "I'm uneasy if it's not genuine,"
but from a cost-effectiveness perspective, TPU tires are a very rational choice.
It's an update that fully meets the necessary performance while being kind to your wallet.
You may also want to consider a cost comparison as a factor, but there may be another sense of security that comes with doing the repairs yourself.
