Purchasing Tires Online

By Kenneth P. Hawkins

Purchasing new tires online for your car or truck could be fast, economical and convenient when getting the tires that you need. Many sites will give you a lot of information on how to pick the brand and style of tires that will suit your automobile minus the fuss of sales people pitching the priciest tire in their shop. A few basic tips and a credit card will help you find the tires that are just right for your car.

Find the size number on the sidewall of your current tires. You need to get the tires that have the same size so these would fit your car's make and model when you install them. There is a load range for each type of tire and you will need to find new tires that match that of your existing ones. The load range tells you how much load the tires could be in without getting seriously damaged from stress. The speed rating of the tires you will choose should also match that of your existing ones as well. This rating indicates how much speed of your car the tires can handle before wearing them out.

Go browsing through online stores that sell tires and make comparisons of the prices and quality. Goodyear, Michelin and Firestone are the best brands out there. You can also check out other brands for comparison. Shop for the tires that have the same size numbers, load range and speed rating as your current ones. Select the best tires from different brands for the best deal you can get. Price is not always king. When it comes to road safety, there's a much better value in paying a premium.

Tire makers differ in grading systems when it comes to treadwear so it's of no use to compare the grades between brands. You can compare the grades between tires of the same brand. Try to buy a set of similar tires. You would have a better idea of the quality of the tires and be more informed in your next purchase.

When comparing prices, compare the price of getting the tire offline and having it installed. It's true that initially the tires may be cheaper online but if you're not installing these yourself, you'd have to go to a service station. Factor in the costs of shipping and installing the tires that you would purchase online so you'd know whether or not you are getting a better deal. - 21392
