It is safe to say that most people don’t find tire shopping among their favorite things to shop for.  We all just want a set of tires that fit correctly and will keep us safe on the road.  Nevertheless, there are a few things to keep in mind before shopping for tires.

First, don’t buy used tires.  It isn’t worth saving a few dollars to sacrifice performance and traction, because unfortunately you’re also sacrificing safety.

Next, make sure to know what the factory size of your tires is.  To find this out, look on the inside of the door hinge on the driver’s side of the car.

Take the time to shop around for good deals on tires.  Making price comparisons on the Internet is easy, but don’t forget to factor in installation and shipping costs.

Finally, before buying tires, research different tires.  All tires aren’t made the same, and the expensive ones aren’t necessarily the best quality.

Although tires may not be your favorite things to shop for, they are as important as used car warranties.  Just follow these tips to get a good price on quality tires.
