Cheap tires
Usually people tend to buy tires whenever it is they need them. Nothing wrong with that. However, if you plan ahead a little bit, you can usually get a better deal for some cheap tires either on the net or off. Most people say that the best time to buy tires is in the fall, like in October. I think this is when most manufacturers roll out new product so they're often looking to get rid of the old stuff. On top of that, if you want new rims or wheels too, you should really do your research online. You will often find good deals combining the two together. Most of the time it's significantly cheaper to buy them online and have them shipped right to your door. Why? No overhead of a "retail" store.
Now I know most people will be kind of leery of that because if you want cheap tires, you want them now and you want to see them put them on. But it's honestly not a big deal. The tires and rims you buy online will be fully balanced and ready to go. If you're not the mechanical type, I recommend you call a couple shops ahead of time and see what they'll charge to just slap them on your car. Shouldn't be much seeing as how all they're gonna do is unbolt the old tires and put your new cheap tires on there. I wouldn't pay more than $20-$25.
Well it's just a thought. I know some people buy their tires online and have been extremely happy given the savings. Best of luck to you and don't forget to check out our blog for some great articles and posts.
