This site is about automotive
tires. Our intent is to provide our visitors with summary information
about most tires being offered by the major manufacturers of tires.
Many people go to their local tire
dealer and say "give me four tires and I'll stop back in an hour", having no
idea what the best choices are. Often, the tires they receive are what the
dealer happens to have in stock, which are likely to be the tires they make the
most money on.
Your driving pleasure and safety
is enhanced if you get the best tire based on your type of vehicle and your
driving conditions. If most of your driving is on non-winter conditions,
you may be most interested in a smooth, quiet, touring tire. If you drive
in mixed summer/winter conditions, an all-season design may be best for you.
But if you have to drive in severe winter conditions, a mud and snow winter tire
is probably your best choice. Off-road vehicles call for specially
designed tires designed to grip off-the-pavement and to better withstand
physical impact. Vehicles driven at higher speeds should ride on
performance tires, especially ones that grips the road better in wet conditions.
We have collected information
about the tires being offered by most major manufactures*. We advise our
visitors to surf through the listings here to learn the many varieties of tires
being offered. To that extent, we offer links in the margin to those
categories of tires as established by the tire manufacturers themselves.
We also offer links to many major tire manufacturers web sites where more
detailed information is available.
Once you have identified the best
tire for your specific vehicle and your driving conditions, you may wish to
order online. This is especially true if the local dealer does not have
the tire you want in stock, does not carry the brand you want, or is insistent
on selling you what they have in stock, or asks for high prices to order your
specified tire in for you.
To assist you in buying tires
online, we offer links to top quality online resources, such as TireRack.com.
TireRack.com offers most major tire brands and maintains a nationwide network of
tire installers. You can have your tires shipped to your home or shop, or
directly to the tire installer you select from an online list for your area.
Enjoy surfing our site, and happy
motoring!
*We apologize is some
tire listings become out of date from time to time. Our intent is
primarily to educate our visitors about the variety and extent of offerings by
the tire makers, but we will do our best to keep the listings up to date.
