Anyone know anything about tires?

Question

I'm getting a new set of tires. Is it ok to go with a cheaper brand. I will have a warrrenty and road hazard. Once the tires are on, will it mess up the balance or alignment if they are taken off to check the brakes? Any info is much appreciated.

Cheap as in cheaper price. I was orginally quoted $490, I said do you have anything cheaper, he said they can order some from their warehouse they will be $380.

I gave info about my car, and they told the different brands they have in that size. Yes, I'm sure I need new tires, I have patched a couple of mine several times, and they are getting bald. It is almost ice weather here.

Answer 1

no , removing tires to check your brakes will { not } mess with the balance or alignment of your car anyone who says it will is just trying to make money off your lack of knowledge, don't get scammed going into the holiday season by some greedy asshole ! cheaper price will not make any difference either !!!

Answer 2

Tires are like anything else, you (usually) get what you pay for. And it is important to keep in mind when buying tires that they are the #1 piece of safety equipment on the vehicle. Less expensive tires tend to be of lower quality, and by that I mean less sophisticated tread compounds and designs and construction. And yes you can feel the difference between really good and just average tires on the same car. Often cheap tires do not last as long either which can make the more expensive tire a better VALUE since you do not have to replace them as often in addition to providing more tractiona and a better ride. Just something to think about before you plop down your dough.

Wheel alignment should be checked whenever new tires are installed and once a year/every 10k miles just to ensure you get good wear out of the tires, maintain good fuel economy and don't cause premature wear on suspension parts. Wheel alighment is changed by adjusting the suspension components on the vehicle so you can take tires on and off as many times as you want and that won't change things.

To get the most life out of your new tires have them rotated every 5 to 6,000 miles. Most tire retailers will rotate tires for free that you have purchased from them.

Answer 3

When you buy them, get the balancing and alignment (if the old ones are worn on the sides or unevenly) After that they should be fine, even when taken off for brake checks. Go with a lower price name brand, not cheap tires.

Answer 4

cheap like what do you mean?
take off to check the brakes will not impact the balance or the alignment.
But what do you mean about cheap that is what is most important

Answer 5

you must fit OE recommended tyres of the size,ply and speed range that your car is supplied with.You can find these dimensions in the tyre section of your handbook.To go cheaper,you can try different tyre manufacturers,but you must by law keep to the handbook dimensions and options if any.IF YOU DO NOT ,YOU MAY INVALIDATE ANY FUTURE INSURANCE CLAIM.But ,do you need new tyres? go somewhere else and ask a mechanic to check,you may be getting ripped off love.
