High quality tires are important for your safety. They’re also capable of transforming your entire driving experience.
However, they’re also expensive.
But replacing your tires doesn’t have to be costly. Many tire companies offer great deals on tires – buy one, get one; buy two, get three…you just need to find those deals.
That’s where we come in.

New tires matter. Here’s why.
First of all, there’s a lower risk of them blowing while you’re on the road. Old tires are more susceptible to under-inflation because of their small wears and tears. And under-inflated tires tend to blow.
Secondly, old tires can reduce fuel mileage. By creating more friction when they’re on the move, they reduce your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
Thirdly, as tires age, they lose their gripping power. This is definitely not something you want when you’re driving on wet or icy roads.
Now that you know why new tires are important, let’s take a look at how you can save money buying them without compromising on quality.
Saving on new tires is surprisingly easy

The first thing you need to do is negotiate.
One of the easiest ways is good old-fashioned negotiation. Many people are hesitant about negotiating but you shouldn’t be. A 2017 survey by Consumer Reports revealed that only 20 per cent of tire buyers bother to haggle. And over 70 per cent of those negotiations brought the prices down.
Remember that everything’s more affordable online.
Online tire stores can afford to offer you cheaper prices for good quality tires because they don’t have the same overheads as a physical store. It’s also easier to comparison shop online. Instead of trudging around all the tire stores in your area beyond, you can find all the options you need by sitting in a chair and clicking stuff.
When you buy matters too
According to The Balance, the best time to tire shop is late autumn and spring because that’s when all the best sales and discounts happen. Tire companies are eager to encourage customers to buy winter tires in autumn and summer tires in spring. Take advantage of their bi-annual enthusiasm and look for great deals then.
Always do your research
Tires come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. New ones are constantly being manufactured which is why you should keep up to date. Compare at least three or four different tire options before you make your choice. Online reviews are a great way to help you make up your mind. Just make sure that you’re consulting independent reviews by multiple sources.
Good luck!
