Easy Tire Buying For Trips
Procuring tires can be disorienting. It's difficult to figure out where to start, and particularly if you haven't bought tires before you might not know the specifics of what you need. I hope this asset will assist you purchase your future 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. Check 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. Just write it all down so you have the info at hand. You should also confirm that you actually need new tires.
Step 2: Put in a call to your favorite tire shop or one near by and say: Hello, I'm the owner of a 2003 Honda Civic and I'm wondering what kind of tires you have in stock for that make and model? (replace your make and model naturally) Make sure you have pen and paper handy, and jot down exactly what they tell you. Get the exact pricing information inclusive of installation, and all you want to know about the tires. If they don't tell you,check out the mileage the manufacture expects for the specific tire. NOTE: Some shops will say they don't know what kind of tires your car needs. That's exactly why I had you copy down your current tire information. 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: With all this information in hand, narrow your choices down to 2-3 potential tires. Type the name and model #'s into your favorite search engine and find out what the customer reviews say. Read buyer blog posts, trade blogs, anything you can find.
Step 5: You're now prepared to make a decision on tires for your vehicle.
