Procuring tires can be disorienting. It's so troublesome to figure out where to get started, and specifically if you're a first time tire buyer it's doubtful you have a feel for the specifics of what you need. I hope this resource will aid you acquire your subsequent set of tires. This is the kind of guide we wish we would of had the first time we bought tires.
Step 1: Look at the tires currently on your car. Check the dimensions, name, model #'s etc... You can find most of that information on the sidewall of the tire itself. Don't worry about understanding what it all means at this point. Make sure you copy the information down so you have it when you need it. Also make sure you actually need new tires.
Step 2: Put in a call to your favorite tire shop or one near by and say: Hi, I own a 2003 Toyota Camry and I was wanting to find out what tires you have that would go well on this vehicle? (replace your make and model obviously) Grab something to write on, and copy down exactly what they tell you. Get the exact pricing information which includes installation, and the detailed facts and figures on the tires. They might not volunteer the information but,check out what the estimated mileage for the tire is. NOTE: There are shops that won't be able to tell you what tires fit your vehicle. That's exactly why I had you copy down your current tire information. Give them this information instead and they should be able to help.
Step 3: Get in touch with other tire shops in the area and compare what they tell you with the first shop you called.
Step 4: Based on the information, whittle your notes down to a few possible tires. Search Google for the name and model of each tire and find out what the customer reviews say. Read buyer blog posts, automotive magazines, just about anything on the topic will do.
Step 5: You're all set, you've done your homework and are ready to make a tire purchase.
We hope this guide is helpful for you. Did you learn something in your tire quest? Let us know in the comments! Thanks!
