Actually, when it comes to tires, I've been a hoarder for the last few year, just the Pandemic has begun to justify it a bit more now. I've traditionally put in orders to TBS, when they have deals $65/70 per tire if you buy 3 or 4 at a time. I always swap front to rear as they wear, and usually have seasons worth of tires on hand, 27.5 for the hard tail and 29 for the springy trail bike. But that said, I did pandemic hoard a couple chains, sets of brake pads, and a massive bottle of Shimano mineral oil. Gotta keep them wheels rollin ya know.
