The Steps You Need to Buy Tires
Buying tires can be bewildering. It's hard to know how to get started, and especially if you haven't bought tires before you might not know what you're looking for. We're sure this source will help you buy your next set 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. Check the volume, name, model #'s etc... All this information is easily read off the sidewall of the tire. You might not understand it all at first, but that's no problem. Be sure you jot it down on a piece of paper for reference though. Are you sure you need new tires? Be sure to check for that.
Step 2: Place a call to your favorite tire shop and say: Hi, I own 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) Make sure you have pen and paper handy, and write down everything they tell you. Get the exact pricing information including installation, and all you want to know about the tires. They might not volunteer the information but,get an idea of what the estimated mileage for the tire 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. With this information they can tell you what is available.
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: With all this information in hand, whittle your notes down to a few possible tires. Type the name and model #'s into your favorite search engine and see what the experts say about each tire. Read reviews, consumer reports, anything you can find.
Step 5: You should now have plenty of information to make your tire purchase.
