It is best to go to a tire dealer with all the knowledge of what you need; this makes it more difficult for the dealer to talk you into buying unnecessary items or expensive items. First off, you should know what you will be using your tires for.
Do you deal with snowy and slick conditions where you live? Will your vehicle be put under any extra stress in some form? Do you drive a lot of dirt roads, or do you stay mostly on pavement? How much money are you willing to spend?
You should know the answers to all these questions and more before going to the tire dealer. This will give you a head start on him.
To clarify a bit, you might be most interested in getting all-season tires if you live in an area that gets only minimal snow. However, if you get heavy snow in the winter, you are better off paying more to get snow tires in winter, and summer or all season tires for the rest of the year.
You should also be aware that tires vary greatly depending on if they will be used for a car or light truck, or a trailer. If you are looking for trailer tires, you should know the specifications of your trailer before making a purchase.
You should also be aware of the amount of air that your tire will take. An under-filled tire will hurt your car's handling and fuel mileage, while an overfilled tire can explode, possibly putting you off the road or injuring anyone standing close by.
You will be at a great advantage if you are able to identify all the key factors that will influence your choice of a tire.
Although you may know how much you want to spend, you keep it quiet; an experienced tire dealer can take what information you give him and find ways to squeeze those extra few dollars out of you.
