Looking for ways to save on new tires? There are plenty of things vehicle owners should keep in mind to ensure a new tire purchase doesn’t break the bank. <br />Click to Watch<br />

The first step should always be calling local tire retailers. Tire experts will be able to offer up a selection of tires that will fit a given vehicle along with prices. Owners should have information like the tire’s width, height and diameter in hand to get the proper quote. <br />

4.
That quote will include information about price, installation cost and mileage warranties. A simple way to save is by comparing the price of similar tires across and some tire retailers, such as Belle Tire, can help as you are shopping around. <br />

5.
Another way to cut costs is by determining what kind of mileage warranty is needed. A 60,000-mile tire probably isn’t necessary if a vehicle owner is thinking of replacing their car within a couple of years; a tire that gets 40,000-miles might be better value. <br />Alternatively, if car owner wants to hold onto their vehicle for more than two or three years, a tire with a longer mileage warranty can help save them money. <br />

6.
Finding out what kind of guarantees tire manufacturers offer is another way to help you save money.<br />Some tire dealers offer significant perks when car owners purchase a full new set of tires. There are retailers that offer free lifetime alignment checks, tire rotations and flat repair for the life of the tire’s mileage warranty. <br />

7.
These aren’t necessarily things that will save owners money in the short term, but can significantly decrease the cost of maintenance over the long-run. If two tire retailers offer the same model at the same price, these value-added bonuses should be something shoppers should ask about. <br />
