Buying tires can become bewildering. It's very difficult to figure out how to begin, and especially if you're new to buying tires you probably don't understand the specifics of what you need. I hope this article will aid you acquire your future pair of tires. This is the information we would give to our kids if they asked how to buy tires.
Step 1: Closely examine the tires you have on your car at this time. Check the size, 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: Greetings, I currently drive a 1998 Chevy Equinox and I was wanting to find out what tires you have that would go well on this vehicle? (replace your make and model obviously) Grab something to write on, and write down exactly what they tell you. Make sure you know the exact price including installation, and all you want to know about the tires. They might not volunteer the information but,get an idea of 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. 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: 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. Search Google for the name and model of each tire and see what people are saying about each tire. Read reviews, consumer reports, any information you can find on the specific tire.
