Looking to purchase tires generally is complicated. It's so troublesome to understand where to get started, and specifically if you're a first time tire buyer you probably don't understand what you're looking for. I'll bet this source will help you buy your subsequent 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 volume, type, 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. Make sure you copy the information down so you have it when you need it. You should also confirm that 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, get you list down to three tires that would work for you. Search Google for the name and model of each tire and see what people are saying about each tire. Read reviews, automotive magazines, any information you can find on the specific tire.
Step 5: You're now prepared to make a decision on tires for your vehicle.
We hope this guide is helpful for you. Did you learn something in your tire quest? Let us know in the comments! Thanks!
