How to Buy a New Set of Tires for a 4x4
The tires on a 4x4 vehicle work as a team. When the conditions outside get rough, each tire has a part to play. That is why it is important to buy 4x4 tires as a set. Buying them will be no trouble at all if you know what you're looking for before you start looking.

Begin looking for a new set of 4x4 tires before the tires you already have get too worn down. While smaller vehicles can often get by on just having their tires rotated, 4x4 tires must be able to function at a higher level.

Find out what size the tires must be. The size can be found on the sidewall of the tires you already have. It will look something like this: P### / ##R##.

Consider the places you drive your 4x4. If it's usually just around town, you'll be able to get by with a more standard set of tires. However, if you are frequently driving your 4x4 off road in in harsh weather conditions, you may want to look for a higher-grade set of tires. Most tire companies offer standard, high-performance, and ultra-high-performance tires. The higher the performance, the bigger the wheel size usually gets, making it more durable. Also, pay attention to the speed ratings of the tires. A tire being advertised as being high-performance should have a speed rating of at least an "H."

Compare prices from various tires stores. If you are having the set of tires put on the vehicle for you, factor in the cost of having that done. Sometimes, tire stores will lower their costs if you are paying for both their labor and their products.
