The primary consideration when purchasing tyres is the kind of driving you’ll do on them.

– Think about how and where you drive. Tyre engineers design product lines for specific results, such as a cushy ride, durability, sporty handling, or traction in rain. But choosing one virtue usually means giving up a little of the others

– Know you current tyre. In general, it’s best to replace your tires with those of the same brand, design and size.

– Decide where to buy your new tyres. Prices and service vary, so shop around if you can

– Have a mechanic or tyre dealer perform the installation. Special machines are needed to slip your new tyres over the car’s wheels.

– Keep tyre wear even by rotating your tyre as the manufacturer suggests new cars are sensitive to tyres with differing degrees of wear. Keeping tyre wear even means your tyres will all need replacing at the same time, so monitor tread depth to help you budget ahead for the expense.
