First decide on what category of tyre you think you will need - Highway, Performance, based on your vehicle and driving habits. Start asking some questions. Do you like your old tyres? Were you happy with your last tyres? Does it rain a lot? Do you do mostly highway or city driving? The more questions you ask the easier it will be to pick a tyre type. |

Buy the right size tyre. All the tyre technology in the world won't help you if you buy the wrong size tyres. Appropriate tyre size for your car can be found in the owner's manual or on a placard located somewhere in your vehicle, usually on the door section, door post, glove box, or fuel door of vehicle. |
