subject: Where To Find Great Discount Tires [print this page] While one can still find many used tires for sale, both through discount outlets and individuals alike, most often one can spend just a little more and have excellent discounted new tires. For, discount tires often come with maintenance and warranty where used tires often do not. As such, when one factors in the cost of free balancing and rotation, one can actually save money over buying used tires.
In fact, one can now shop at many discount tire centers which offer ongoing maintenance and warranties. After which, if one decides to replace a tire, such shops may even prorate a percentage off the new tire purchase price. As such, many individuals are now shopping at such discount tire centers in order to receive these ongoing savings.
For, while many stores can offer such services, individuals selling used tires most likely can not. As a result, many find that one saves a great deal more by buying new discounted tires so that one can receive such services. For, the costs of both balancing and rotation, while not as much as many other services, can still add up over time.
In addition, as such centers offer both independent and name brand tires, one often also has more of a selection from which to choose. Of course, for those who can only afford used tires, choices are often more limited. For, in most cases, such used tires are only available in relation to size without any association to style. As such, if one is interested in a particular brand or style of tire, one may most likely have to purchase such tires new, whether through a discount center or name brand outlet.
One may also want to be careful when one considers purchasing used tires from an individual. For, while most individuals selling used tires are honest, there are also those who are not. In fact, in some cases, the tire one buys may have been thrown out due to safety concerns, picked up, cleaned off, painted and made to appear newer and safer than others. As such, one needs to be especially cautious and carefully inspect any used tires one desires to purchase, especially if purchasing such tires from an individual.
So, whether shopping for new or used tires, some of the best deals can be found at many discount tire centers. However, if one is opting to buy a used tire, whether from an individual or a shop, one needs to take the time to check out the condition of such tire carefully. For, while most individuals selling used tires are honest, there are those who grab, paint and recycle used tires which were previously discarded by tire centers due to safety concerns.
For, in doing so, one can assure that there is still a good amount of tread left on such tires for regular road travel. Although, if one is planning to travel long distances on such tires, one may want to have the tires inspected at a local shop before hitting the road. For, while some used tires may be great for local travel, most are going to show wear and tear more quickly when driving a long distance.
Therefore, whether in need of new or used tires, one may want to opt for discount tires rather than name brand or used tires. For, often one can save a great deal of money while still obtaining a full warranty and ongoing free maintenance at such centers. Of course, when considering used tires, one always wants to check the overall condition to assure that such tires have not been cleaned or painted, whether buying such tires from an individual or an outlet.
