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: What kind of tires do you currently have? Inspect the volume, brand, model #’s etc… You can find most of that information on the sidewall of the tire itself. If you don’t understand what it all means, that’s ok. Be sure you jot it down on a piece of paper for reference though. Also make sure you actually need new tires.
Step 2: Place a call to your favorite tire shop and say: Hi, I own a 2006 Chevy Equinox and I’m wondering what kind of tires you have in stock for that make and model? (replace your make and model clearly) Make sure you have pen and paper handy, 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 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 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, whittle your notes down to a few possible tires. Type the name and model #’s into your favorite search engine and see what people are saying about each tire. Read customer comments, automotive magazines, anything you can find.
Step 5: You’re now prepared to make a decision on tires for your vehicle.
