How to Buy Tires Online

Buying new tires for your car online can be a quick, cheap and easy way to get the tires you need. There are many websites that will help you find the right brand and style tires your car needs without the hassle of salesmen trying to pitch the most expensive tires in the shop to you. You will need some basic pieces of information and a credit card and you will be on your way to finding the right tires for you and your vehicle.

Things You'll Need

• Tire size Number
• Tire Speed Rating Number
• Load Range Letter
• Internet Connection
• Credit Card

Instructions

1. Look at the sidewall of your current tire and locate the tire size number. You will need to make sure that whatever type of tires you purchase will be able to fit the make and model of your vehicle.

2. Find the load range letter on your tire. This letter will tell you how much load or weight the tire can handle and not be under stress.

3. Get the speed rating number off your old tires as well. This number basically tells you how much speed the tire can handle before reaching the maximum amount of wear and tear. Your new tires will need to match this number, too.

4. Visit a few websites that sell tires and do some price checking on various name brands. The top name brands you will want to look into are Goodyear, Michelin and Firestone. Locate the tires with the right size, speed and load range letter and compare the prices to find which brand has the best tire for the best price.

5. Check the treadware grade on the tires you have selected. The higher the grade on the tires the thicker and more long-lasting the tire will be. This may make the tires a bit more expensive, but it is worth it to have good, safe tires for your car.

6. Add the tires to your cart and then proceed to checkout on the website. Enter all your credit card or checking information and purchase the tires. You may have to sign up for a free account with the website merchant in order to finish checking out.
