Choosing the right tire for your vehicle can be quite the task! But have no fear as I made a video detailing the process I follow when choosing the right tire for my car and I even came up with an acronym to help you remember… are you ready for it? It’s T.I.R.E

  • Tally up your needs list
    • Use the Manufacturer’s Specifications as a benchmark
    • What type of weather will you be driving in?
    • How long will you keep the car?
  • Inquire
    • Ask a car savvy friend for help
    • Be honest about your driving style, habits, and capabilities
    • Premium tires (very grippy) may be excessive; you may waste money
    • Do you prefer a quiet, smooth ride or willing to sacrifice?
  • Research
    • Start with Tirerack
      • Large tire selection
      • Huge database of test results and consumer reviews
    • Don’t go to a tire store for advice. They are trained to sell you their own tires or whatever tires they need to get rid off
    • Compare specifications and keep in mind physics
    • Narrow it down to 3-4 tires
    • Change the size of the tire if needed
  • Evaluate
    • Compare – search around the internet for the tires you chose
    • Discount clubs like Sam’s or Costco often offer great deals for its members
