Procuring tires can be disorienting. It’s difficult to figure out where to start, and particularly if you haven’t bought tires before you might not know the specifics of what you need. I hope this asset will assist you purchase your future 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, type, model #’s etc… You can find most of that information on the sidewall of the tire itself. You might not understand it all at first, but that’s no problem. Just write it all down so you have the info at hand. You should also confirm that you actually need new tires.
Step 2: Put in a call to your favorite tire shop or one near by and say: Hi, I own a 2006 Toyota Camry and I’d like to see what you have in stock that would fit my car? (replace your make and model naturally) Ensure you’re ready to take down the information they give you, and copy down everything they say. Get the exact pricing information which includes installation, and all the detailed info on the tires. They might not volunteer the information but,find out what the estimated mileage for the tire is. NOTE: Some shops will say they don’t know what kind of tires your car needs. That’s why you wrote down all the details of your current tires. Give them this information instead and they should be able to help.
Step 3: Compare what you found at the first shop with a few other tire shops in the area.
Step 4: With all this information in hand, narrow your choices down to 2-3 potential tires. Type the name and model #’s into your favorite search engine and find out what the customer reviews say. Read buyer blog posts, trade blogs, anything you can find.
Step 5: You’re now prepared to make a decision on tires for your vehicle.
