How to save money when buying summer tires

Now let's talk about the big question: what tips can you use to save money on your next summer set of tires? Tires are one of the most essential parts of a car, essential for good braking and handling.

Despite this, most of us dread buying new tires. For a start, they're expensive, and there are many brands and types of tires to choose from. But the experts at PMCtire have some tips on how to save money on summer tires.

Save money on summer tires with our top tips

Tires usually go on sale in October in preparation for winter, then in April to prepare for summer travel. Whatever time of year you shop, we've got a few tips to help you save money, so you can keep driving long and safely.

Why buy tires online?

The main reason is that it is always cheaper to buy tires online than from a traditional retailer. Online retailers usually offer a wider choice of tires than traditional retailers. Another reason to buy tires online is that it's often more convenient. You can shop for tires in the comfort of your home and have your new tires delivered to your door. So there's no need to visit one or more tire stores and choose tires from a limited selection.

Finally, buying tires online is often synonymous with better customer service. Online retailers generally have generous return policies and offer excellent customer service via chat, e-mail or telephone. Traditional retailers generally don't offer the same level of customer service.

What if there was a way to buy tires online and save money?

Believe it or not, there is! You can buy your tires on PMCtire.com, and you're sure to get a better price than in a traditional store.

If you're looking to save money on summer tires, here are a few tips to consider: Start with the basics by determining the size and type of tires you need. You'll usually find the correct tire size inside the driver's door. Pay attention to front and rear tire sizes, as they may differ.

Once you know what you're looking for, just let your fingers do the work. Compare prices online to find the best discounts. You'll be spoilt for choice and can easily compare prices between different retailers.

Seasonal manufacturer rebates

Focus on off-season periods or the end of the summer season, when manufacturers often offer discounts to clear their inventories. This strategy can lead to great bargains. The PMCtire.com website offers tires from many manufacturers, and several times a year, there are sales. Visit our site often to find the best discounts.

Even if you're looking for discounts, you need to determine what you want from your new tires. A more comfortable ride? Better steering control? Less noise? Longer wear? The tires that come with a new car are somewhat one-size-fits-all, and may not be suited to your driving conditions or comfort level. So buying a new set of tires is an opportunity to get what you want.
