How to Choose the Right Tire

posted on 12/14/2020 1:15:17 PM

Tires are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road. They also support the weight of the vehicle. Tires play a vital role in ensuring your car is safe to be driven. Selecting the right tires for your vehicle is an important task. Get it wrong, and you can jeopardize your car's performance and its ability to tackle any type of weather. Car tires usually need to be replaced every three or four years. Your tires must handle a wide variety of climatic conditions, so you need to make sure to buy tires that will perform not only in your most common climate conditions but also in the most extreme conditions that you will face.

Choosing the tires that will serve your needs best involves determining the kinds of driving you’re doing, the type of vehicle you own, and the weather conditions you regularly experience. When shopping for new tires, it is imperative that you choose tires that offer features that best support the driving conditions you face on the road. When choosing the best tires for your vehicle, consider the following things.

What Size Tire Do You Need?

Consult your owner’s manual to find the recommended tire measurements for your specific vehicle. The size of your tire is important because it must be able to carry the weight of your vehicle. No matter how good a tire you select, it needs to have the capability of carrying the load and help your vehicle respond to a quick emergency. When selecting your tires, make sure that they are the right size for your vehicle.

What Tire Type Do You Need?

The type of tires you will need is the ones that work best for your location and lifestyle. Tire types include all-season, winter, high performance, summer, all-terrain, touring, and more. The vehicle you drive, how you drive, and the ideal weather in your location will determine the type of tires you need. All Season tires are designed to provide well in warm weather conditions and in moderate winter conditions, winter tires are designed to perform in icy, cold, snowy, wet conditions, and summer tires perform best in warm weather.

What Are Your Priorities in Selecting a Tire?

After you’ve pinpointed the correct size and type for your vehicle, the specific qualities of different tires, like cost, appearance, brand, and so forth should be evaluated. Many drivers choose to stick with the same tires that came on their car when they got it. If the way you use your vehicle has changed, then you can change your tires to soothe your priorities for things like ride comfort, tire wear, performance, fuel efficiency, noise level, and more. Many manufacturers have websites to help consumers choose the right tire.
