Purchasing tires can become complicated. It’s difficult to understand where to get started, and especially if you’re new to buying tires it’s doubtful you have a feel for the specifics of what you need. I hope this asset will assist you buy your subsequent set of tires. This is the information we would give to our kids if they asked how to buy tires.
Step 1: Closely examine the tires you have on your car at this time. Inspect the volume, type, 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. Also make sure you actually need new tires.
Step 2: Place a call to your favorite tire shop and say: Hi, I own a 1998 Honda Civic and I’m wondering what kind of tires you have in stock for that make and model? (replace your make and model obviously) Make sure you have pen and paper handy, and write down everything they tell you. Get the exact pricing information inclusive of installation, and all the detailed info on the tires. You might have to ask 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. Good thing you have all the details of your current tires. Now they should have no trouble giving you the info you need.
Step 3: Compare what you found at the first shop with a few other tire shops in the area.
Step 4: Now that you’ve got some solid information, narrow your choices down to 2-3 potential tires. Search Google for the name and model of each tire and find out what the customer reviews say. Read reviews, automotive magazines, 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.
