Supa Quick – Wheels
Buying new wheels for your car can be a confusing process. There are so many brands out there for sale, so many companies looking to sell them to you and so many different types of tyres that many buyers don’t have the first idea of where to look or what to look for. Paying too much isn’t something you want to do, but you also don’t want to get the cheapest tyres available and find that they don’t meet your needs. As you’re searching, keep the following factors in mind.
Your Wheels Must Be the Right Size
Without exception, you must be sure that you’re getting the right sized tyres for your needs. If you’re not sure of what size you need, there are a few ways to find out. One way is by writing down the number on your tyres. You can then give this number to the retailer you work with and they can tell you what the size is. You can also consult your owner’s manual, if you have it handy. Many cars have a plate on the interior of the driver’s door that also includes information on the size of the tires.
All-Season Wheels Work Best For Most People
There are some specialty tyres out there that might work for you, if you’re someone who drives frequently in very snowy or rainy situations. However, all-season tyres are made with the idea in mind that they’ll be used in areas with some snow and rain. As a result, unless you’re in a very snowy or rainy area, your best bet is likely to be all-season tyres.
Think of Your Performance
Those with flashier cars or cars that perform differently in different ways, such as off roading vehicles, might want to consider high performance wheels. However, these tyres are really only good for those particular situations. If you have a regular car that you use mostly to get from Point A to Point B, performance tyres are not likely to be worth the extra money. On the other hand, if you’ve spent good money to get a high performing car, they might be the right answer for you.
Overall Value is the Most Important Factor
Don’t get caught up in thinking that the most expensive wheels are automatically going to be the best option, nor do you want to get caught up thinking that the cheapest tyres are going to be your best option either. What you’re looking for is overall value. For example, it makes sense to pay a little extra for tyres that are going to last for 3 years than you’d pay for tyres that would last 1 year. While you’d pay more in the short term, you’d get more out of your tyres in the long term.
As you can see, there are several things to consider when deciding on the best wheels for your vehicle. Start by making sure you’re selecting the right size, then consider any special needs you might have.
