Befor Hitting The Road, New Tires

By Jimmy Kidd


Investing in tires generally is complicated. It's so troublesome to understand where to start, and particularly if you haven't bought tires before you probably don't understand the specifics of what you need. I know this asset will aid you purchase your next set of tires. This is the information we would give to our kids if they asked how to buy tires.

Step 1: Look at the tires currently on your car. Inspect the dimensions, name, model #'s etc... You can find most of that information on the sidewall of the tire itself. You might not understand it all at first, but that's no problem. Make sure you copy the information down so you have it when you need it. Are you sure you need new tires? Be sure to check for that.

Step 2: Call up our featured tire shop or the tire shop of your choice and say: Greetings, I currently drive a 2003 Chevy Equinox and I'd like to see what you have in stock that would fit my car? (rotate your make and model naturally) Make sure you have pen and paper handy, and write down everything they say. Get the exact pricing information inclusive of installation, and the detailed facts and figures on the tires. They might not volunteer the information but,check out the mileage the manufacture expects for the specific tire. NOTE: There are shops that won't be able to tell you what tires fit your vehicle. That's why you wrote down all the details of your current tires. With this information they can tell you what is available.

Step 3: Call around to a few other tire shops and compare the prices, mileage, and other factors of the tires.

Step 4: Now that you've got some solid information, whittle your notes down to a few possible tires. Look up the details of your tire possibilities in a search engine and find out what the customer reviews say. Read customer comments, trade blogs, any information you can find on the specific tire.

Step 5: You're all set, you've done your homework and are ready to make a tire purchase.

Hopefully you learned something by reading this guide. If you learn something you'd like to share during your tire purchase please leave a comment so others can learn as well. Thanks!
