Investing in tires can become confusing. It's so difficult to know how to get started, and especially if you're new to buying tires you probably don't understand what you're looking for. I know this source will help you acquire your future set 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. Inspect the size, brand, model #'s etc... All this information is easily read off the sidewall of the tire. 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: Call up our featured tire shop or the tire shop of your choice and say: Hi, I own a 2003 Honda Civic and I'm wondering what kind of tires you have in stock for that make and model? (substitute your make and model obviously) Ensure you're ready to take down the information they give you, and jot down everything they tell you. 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 what the manufacture suggested mileage is. NOTE: Not all shops can tell you right off the bat what kind of tires to get for your car. That's why you wrote down all the details of your current tires. 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. 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 all set, you've done your homework and are ready to make a tire purchase.
We hope this guide is helpful for you. If you learn something you'd like to share during your tire purchase please leave a comment so others can learn as well. Good Luck!
