Buying and Inspecting Tires

Here are some questions to consider when thinking about buying new tires for your car or truck.

• Do you need new tires? Though you might think that if your tires are three years old, it is time to replace them, that may not be the case. If you drive only 10,000 miles a year, for example, then your tire treads may still have more wear on them. If you drive 30,000 miles per year, then it may be time to replace them. You will not know without having your tires inspected by professionals to assess their wear and tear, age, and overall condition.
• What types of tires will suit your car and driving style best? There is a wide range of tires on the market, with many different tread options as well as price points.

• Where and when will you be driving? If you are out and about during our harsh Northeast Ohio winters, having a set of tires that can adapt to the changing road conditions can be essential. Snow tires are useful for those who frequently drive in sleet, ice, snow, and rain. Multi-season tires are a good choice for those who do not do a lot of driving in the snow.
