Investing in tires can definitely be confusing. It’s so hard to figure out where to start, and especially if you’re a first time tire buyer it’s doubtful you have a feel for the specifics of what you need. I’ll bet this asset will aid you buy your future 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 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, narrow your choices down to 2-3 potential tires. Look up the details of your tire possibilities in a search engine and see what the experts say 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. Leave us a comment if you have something to add! Best Wishes!
