It’s time to shop for some new tires, so you scour the prices of the tires on the shelf at your local Asheboro store and select the cheapest one. After all, they’re all round, right?

Well, yes. But they’re also all very different, and the right tires for someone else’s car may not necessarily be the best tires for your car. Let’s take a look at what you should look for when shopping for a new set of tires.

Where do you live?

There are different types of tires for all different types of conditions. There are tires designed to perform on wet roads, in snow, on severe uphill climbs, or off-road. If you live in an area with a lot of annual rainfall or live in the mountains, you may want to consider a set of tires that will match the conditions of the roads you drive on.

How long will they last?

Some tires are designed for longevity and may last up to 100,000 miles. Other tires are built for performance and may only last 25,000 miles. When shopping for new tires, consider how many miles are already on your car and how much longer you expect to drive it.

How big should they be?

The suspension and handling system of your car was designed with an optimal tire size in mind. Bigger tires might look attractive, but if they are too big for the wheel, they can be detrimental to the performance of your car.

How fast do they need to go?

Tires are also designed with speed in mind. Does your daily commute involve a lot of highway driving? Or is the bulk of your driving done at lower speeds through residential areas? It’s important to match the speed rating of your tires to the speed of your driving.

How much weight can they bear?

In addition to speed, tires are also built for strength. Certain tires are designed to bear a lot of weight while others are not. If you’re accustomed to hauling around heavy loads, you’ll want a tire that is meant to do so.
