What Should You Consider When Shopping for Tires?

posted on 9/10/2018 5:38:09 PM
When you are in the market for quality new tires, the options available can easily become overwhelming. Dozens of brands and sizes are all on display. Some tires are basic, meant to get you from place to place and that’s about it. Other tires are built for performance, construction work, or made to fit a certain size wheel. Let the tire experts at Quantico Tire & Auto Care give you a rundown of what you need to know when shopping for tires.

Our Tire Shopping Checklist

 
Sometimes knowing if you need new tires isn’t as easy as it looks. That’s the first question you have to ask yourself. Do I need new tires? If you are not sure, let a professional take a look. A certified technician can easily help you determine if your tires need to be replaced or if they still have some life left in them.
 
Budget — The next thing to consider is, how much do you want to spend? You could go with the cheapest tire or invest in something built for performance. Specialty tires can be more expensive but might be worth it. You also have to consider the quality of tire when considering a budget. You could spend less now but may have to replace your tires sooner. In the end, you might spend more over the course of a few years because you are having to patch your tires, get towed for flats, or replace them more often.
 
Size — Know what size you need for your vehicle. For most vehicles, this can be found in your owner’s manual. or your mechanic can look up this information for you.  Getting tires that are a proper fit is vital to performance and safety. If your owner’s manual is long gone you can use our shop by size tool.
 
Tread — Tires are built for size, and for performance. Different styles of tire tread will perform in different ways. If a smooth ride is important to you make sure you select the appropriate tire. A mud tire might perform well on a trail but could vibrate you out of the seat on the highway. Harder rubber on your tread will ensure that it wears down slowly but might not give as much traction to the road surface. Reinforced sidewalls will contribute to tire durability, which is one of the most important factors in how long your tires will last.
