Key points in buying the ideal tire

Currently, most people buy new tires regardless of the condition of their car and neglect to evaluate the technical condition of the car. You should definitely get out of your car and check the wear and tread of your old tires.

By doing this, you will probably notice that one or two of your tires have more wear and tear than the others.
The reason for this incident can be considered to be technical problems related to the front end or suspension system of the car, and to solve the mentioned problem, you must go to a good and technical repair shop before buying new tires.

Do you need to buy new tires?

Be sure to check your current tires before buying new tires. The wear and tear of tires are completely obvious and you will not have any problem to recognize them.

But to check the tread of the tire, you have to do some work and for this you can use “penny test” or coin. This is done in different countries with different coins.

In Iran, you can use a 100 Toman coin and put it inside the tire tread. Place the part on which the numbers (line) are engraved outward and in front of your eyes.

If the minting date is known; It means that your tire is in a very bad condition and you need to replace it immediately.

If the amount of Rial expression is clear; Tires can still be used. But be sure to purchase new tires as soon as possible.

But if the expression Rial was completely clear; The tire is in good condition and you don’t need to change it and buy a new tire for now.

Of course, this method is not very accurate and you cannot buy new tires based on it. Usually, professional apparatuses use a digital tire tread measuring device and check the tires more precisely.

Pay attention to the type of tire chosen

Climate and living conditions are different in different parts of the world. Most cars use all-season tires. These tires are designed to be used all year round.

However, when buying new tires, winter and summer tires should not be neglected, and sometimes due to weather conditions and living environment, four-season tires should be discarded. Because the mentioned tires do not perform properly in facing icy surfaces, black ice, etc.

For example, on winter and icy roads, winter tires must be used; Because these tires provide better control of the car due to the design of their treads.

Do not forget the spare tire

When you change your current car tires; You must check the spare tire and replace it if necessary.

Usually spare tires are not used much and it is possible that your spare tire is in good condition. Sometimes, your spare tire does not have significant wear and tear, and your mechanic will probably recommend that using the mentioned tire will not cause any problems for you and will meet your needs for now.

Anyway, if your spare tire is not in ideal conditions, it becomes a problem; Be sure to change it and try to get a spare tire that matches the model, size, etc. of your car’s original tires.

One of the most important and influential points in buying new tires should be their price. The pricing of different tires and the difference in their value indicates the quality, life and stability of the tire.

Currently, you usually have to spend more to buy premium tires; Because their production is the product of months of research and development. In addition, premium tires have better quality, tread and performance, and first-class materials have been used to produce said tires.

Mid-priced tires perform similarly to premium tires; But the quality of the materials used in them is not at the level of premium tires.

In the end, you will only have cheap tires in front of you. These tires may have a reasonable price; But it has a short life and you have to deal with them.

Pay attention to the tire warranty

Usually, tire manufacturers consider two types of warranty for their products. The first type of warranty covers the defect, tear and poor quality of the tire treads. But the second type of warranty covers the risks caused by defective tires on the road and makes you feel at ease.

Of course, you should pay attention to the text of the tire manufacturers’ warranty; Because there are many clauses and conditions in the text of the aforementioned guarantees, which simply cause the rubber company to escape from fulfilling its obligations.

In addition, some tire manufacturers will easily replace them if their product is defective, and this option will probably tempt you a little.

Tires affect fuel consumption

Another thing to consider when choosing tires is that the type of tires you choose will affect your car’s fuel consumption.

The original tires of your car help to optimize fuel consumption and changing them can have many positive and negative effects on the fuel consumption of your car.

For some, the performance and traction of the car are more important and they do not put fuel consumption in their priorities; Therefore, you have to make your own decision and buy a tire that suits your needs.
