How to Buy Tires For Your Car

During the month of May, Landers is hosting a tire event! Ensuring you have a good, quality set of tires on your vehicle is essential to the performance and safety of your car. If you think about it, these four little rubber discs are the only thing keeping your several thousand-pound vehicle hooked to the pavement. When you think about it that way, it makes sense that you’ll want to put a quality product on your vehicle.

At Landers, we make it easy to buy tires. One of the most important decisions for you to make will be what kind of tires you want to fit on your vehicle. Each vehicle comes standard with a certain tire to bring out the performance the manufacturer intended. Each tire has a load rating and treadwear number. If you match those numbers up to your original specifications provided by the manufacturer, you are free to choose the rest! You’ll want to make sure to choose the same size as the tire that came off the vehicle. If you size up or size down, make sure to do extensive research on the modifications needed to support the tire alteration.

When it comes to brand and tread style, that can be a personal preference depending on budget and availability. We have tires stocked in-house for popular models at Landers if you’re interested in getting tires mounted as soon as possible. If you’re brand-loyal, it could take a few days to get those tires into the shop but we would be happy to mount them for you and ensure they are balanced correctly.

One of the most common measures of tire performance will be how they feel in the rain. If you live in a wet climate and even those with inclement winter weather, make sure to check the weather rating as there are seasonal tire compounds that can perform better than others when it comes to year-round performance.
