The traditional method of purchasing a new set of tires begins with driving to the local tire shop. Once there, you would spend a few minutes looking at the shop’s inventory (pretending to know what you’re looking for) until finally asking for help. An attendant would happily recommend a few sets, all of which are higher-priced than you expected. You would eventually concede to paying more than necessary, hoping to avoid the experience for another few years.
They are the only piece of your vehicle that touches the ground. Your car’s tires influence traction, steering response, driver control, and ultimately, the safety of you and your passengers. Like spark plugs and brake pads, however, the treads of your tires wear down over thousands of miles of use. Once they pass a certain point, they need to be replaced.
