How to choose quality car tires

Soon drivers will have to change their cars from summer tires to winter ones. Thus, the question of choosing the right tires will arise again. There are special requirements for warm-season tires, as the average speed of travel increases in summer. Therefore, it is important to know how to choose high-quality tires.

OBOZREVATEL has collected some professional tips on how not to make a mistake and what to look for when buying tires.

Inspect the tires for cracks

Even if you buy new tires, be sure to inspect each one for cracks. If you're buying a used tire, check the tread depth as well. If it is almost completely worn off, it is better to refuse the purchase.

If you buy a set of used tires, compare their condition

If the tires were used on a car with a problematic rollout, they will wear unevenly during operation. This can also be noticed during a thorough inspection. You shouldn't buy tires that show heavy signs of wear.

Don't buy retread tires

Recapped tires look almost like new, but they have one drawback - you can't be sure of the quality of the carcass on which the new tires are welded. They are also heavier than the original ones, which can have a bad effect on acceleration and smoothness of the car. Therefore, it is better to buy used tires in good condition.
