Selecting The Right Tyres For Your Vehicle
SELECTING THE RIGHT TYRES FOR YOUR VEHICLE CONSIDER FUEL ECONOMY Purchasing a tire that is different than the one you had when the vehicle was new may impact the fuel economy, for good or bad. CHOOSE THE RIGHT TYRES The biggest mistake a consumer can make when replacing tires is not using the correct size. On the sidewall of your tire, you'll find a code that tells the tire's size and capabilities. Here's a sample code: P195/60R16 63H M+S - Type of tire - Width of the tire across the tread in millimeters 195 - Aspect ratio of the sidewall compared to the width 60 Radial construction 16 Diameter of the rim in inches 63 Tire's load rating Tire's speed rating M+S Tire is suitable for all-season driving KNOW WHERE TO BUY TYRE TYPES Traditionally, the most expensive option is to return to the dealership. Dealers will replace worn tires with original-equipment tires. This option can cost twice as much as going to the local shop down the street. Summer tyres These tires are generally high- performance tires designed for only limited use in water. High performance summer tires generally have a lower treadwear rating, so they will not last as long. Local shops, be it a national chain or mom-and-pop establishment, prices can be reasonable and the service manager will help consumers select the correct tire for their vehicle. However, consumers should always shop around for the best prices. Tire and installation prices vary widely from store to store. All-Season tyres All-season tires are the broadest of the categories; some of these can be high performance like summer tires, but all all-season tires have to meet requirements that allow them to operate under wet and icy conditions to a certain extent. If you purchase your tires online, you'll need to do a little extra research to find out how much it'll cost to have them put on your vehicle.
