<prompt> Human: I got a new Toyota last year. The dealership I bought from has a free tires for life program.The deal basically goes like this: if I perform all maintenance at the dealer, do any recommended services, and do a balance and alignment once per year, then I get free tires, minus installation costs.Im thinking this isnt a good deal, but wanted to check.First of all, the dealership is almost 40 minutes from my house. I went ahead and went for the first couple of services, but this is quite inconvenient. There is a Toyota dealership 10 minutes from my house.Second of all, balance and alignment once a year seems excessive. They said it would cost 150 for this service. If the tires last 6 years, theyre charging 900 that I wouldnt normally pay except on an as-needed basis or should I?.Thirdly, they seem to suggest a lot of extra maintenance which they can hold over you to disqualify you from free tires. I havent had this happen yet, but Ive seen in it the waiting room at the dealer things like new wipers even.Fourth, I prefer to do maintenance work on my own. Im not sure if this is a good idea with regards to warranty, but my dad taught me to change oil from a young age, I always try to stay on top of making sure my tires are correctly inflated, and I do all the work on a Honda that has been driven by me and my dad and now my wife for over 240,000 miles with no real problems. Occasionally Ive taken my car places, but Ive never been happy with inattentiveness to detail. For example, when I took my new Toyota in for the last oil change tire rotation, they somehow deflated one of my tires about 12 PSI. The TPMS didnt come on, but when I left the next day for a road trip, I checked and thought I had a leak so I took my other car. Turns out, something had happened at the dealer I checked before and it was at 37 PSI, the next morning it was 25 PSI; recommended is 36 PSI.Fifth, they dont seem to know my car very well. They always recommend using a 5k service interval, even though I do mostly highway miles and the manual says to us 7.5k service interval. I think this is also why they messed the tire inflation up, because they like to adjust it to much lower than the amount on the door jam.All of that said, Im trying to actually figure out the numbers as well. Im having trouble getting a good estimate on tire cost for this car. Its a base model Yaris sedan 2018 iA that was literally the cheapest car on the lot, but it has a new tire size thats harder to find P18560R16.Ive also never owned a new car before, so Im not sure how much warranty will be affected by doing maintenance myself. I keep every single receipt and detailed spreadsheets of all my cars, including every gas fill-up, every part replacement, every maintenance log, so I imagine record keeping would not be the problem.Is my hunch correct that the free tires will actually end up costing me more than not? How much should I expect to pay for dealer maintenance of the car, and is that worth it for the warranty?Here is the information on the program:  <response>: ANY deal from a car dealership benefits them and only them.
