Planning a Road Trip? You Need New Tires.
Looking to purchase tires for a trip or vacation can be bewildering. It’s difficult to understand how to get started, and specifically if you’re a first time tire buyer you probably don’t understand where to begin. We’re sure this asset will help you purchase your subsequent pair 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. Inspect 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. 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 Toyota Camry and I’m wondering what kind of tires you have in stock for that make and model? (replace your make and model obviously) Ensure you’re ready to take down the information they give you, and write down exactly what they tell you. Don’t hangup until you have the exact price inclusive of installation, and all the detailed info on the tires. They might not volunteer the information but,check out the mileage the manufacture expects for the specific tire. NOTE: Not all shops can tell you right off the bat what kind of tires to get for your car. 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: 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 reviews, trade blogs, just about anything on the topic will do.
Step 5: You should now have plenty of information to make your tire purchase.
We really hope this guide helped you in some way. If you learn something you’d like to share during your tire purchase please leave a comment so others can learn as well. Thanks!
