1) Shop Around

No matter how comfortable you are with your regular suppliers, it never hurts to ask other outlets for price comparisons. Loyalty, sadly, is often disregarded by businesses looking to hook new customers or chasing bigger sales than a simple set of tyres, so be sure that yours is not misplaced. If you do find a better price, very often mentioning this to your usual garage or mechanic could win you a price-matching discount, giving you the familiarity of a known business with the discount that you would otherwise have missed out on!

2)  Know What You Need

If you are placing the order online or over the phone, be sure that you are ordering the right tyres for your car. Your car tyres needs to be a perfect fit for your vehicle. These details can be found in your instruction manual, on the old tyres, or – if none of these are readily available – online. Buying the wrong tyres and finding yourself either unable to return them or being charged to cover expenses can all add up to make your new tyres a very expensive exercise. Aside from this, should you buy and try to use the wrong tyres, it could cause major problems with the vehicle, causing excess fuel consumption, wear and tear and a host of other issues that are best avoided if at all possible.

4) Repair Don’t Replace

This is not always the case, but if your tyres are quite new, with one small area of damage, consult your garage about effecting a repair to give you a bit more driving time.

5) Avoid Second Hand

Usually, buying second-hand is great for your wallet and the environment, but there are some things that it is better to buy new. This includes tyres, as you cannot tell how badly abused the tyres have been while in use and it is better to avoid any doubt, and buy new. While second-hand tyres can be a good stop-gap for a short time, in the long run, you will end up spending more time and money than you should on repairing, patching or even replacing your tyres before you expect to.
