Tires and The Economy
Buying tires can be disorienting. It’s so hard to understand where to get started, and particularly if you’re a first time tire buyer it’s doubtful you have a feel for what you’re looking for. I’ll bet this article will aid you acquire your future pair of tires. We wish we had a guide like this when we bought our first set of tires.
Step 1: Closely examine the tires you have on your car at this time. Check the size, brand, 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. Just write it all down so you have the info at hand. Are you sure you need new tires? Be sure to check for that.
Step 2: Put in a call to your favorite tire shop or one near by and say: Greetings, I currently drive a 2006 Toyota Camry and I was wanting to find out what tires you have that would go well on this vehicle? (rotate your make and model obviously) Ensure you’re ready to take down the information they give you, and take down everything they say. Get the exact pricing information which includes installation, and all you want to know about the tires. You might have to ask but,find out what the estimated mileage for the tire is. NOTE: Not all shops can tell you right off the bat what kind of tires to get for your car. That’s why you wrote down all the details of your current tires. Now they should have no trouble giving you the info you need.
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: 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 see what people are saying about each tire. Read customer comments, trade blogs, 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.
