5 Tire Buying Tips
1) Your driving style and operating environment will determine the best tires for your vehicle Be honest with yourself and your dealer.


2) Tire performance is about compromise. High performance tires wear quickly and can be noisy. Quiet long wearing tires sacrifice some performance.


3) Consider a dedicated set of wheels for Snow Tires in winter climates. Always run with a full set of four snow tires.


4) Don't mix and match types and ratings of tires. Handling and braking will suffer. Always replace tires as a set.


5) Always use tires for their designed purpose. Off road are useless on the highway, as are high-performance summer tires in wintry conditions.
