"What type of tires am I looking for?" is a question you may ask yourself when shopping for new tires. Here are a few things you should consider:
If you are looking for comfort and handling, you'll probably want a touring or passenger tire that is dependable all year round and offers a balance of a smooth quiet ride and great handling.
If you drive a high-performance vehicle, you'll probably look for a high-performance tire that offers great grip at higher speeds and unmatched cornering ability.
If you drive a light truck or SUV, you'll want a light truck tire that can provide durability and traction in various weather conditions, or an SUV/CUV tire that is designed for on-road comfort.
If you own a commercial vehicle, you'll definitely have to find a tire that suits your vehicle's needs while enduring the wear and tear of commercial applications.
If you're looking for a safer drive in the Winter, then investing in a set of Winter tires is highly recommended, but remember to take them off your vehicle when the Winter season is over.
Knowing your tire size can save you time and help you to make an informed purchase. Your vehicle's original tire size can be found in your owner's manual or on the tire label located on the inside of the driver's door, glove box lid, or inside the fuel hatch. If in doubt, check your sidewall.
When enquiring about pricing or tire specifications, the most important information you need is the Tire Width, Aspect Ratio, Wheel Diameter, and Speed Rating.
