Choosing the Right Tires for Your Car: Why Brand Shouldn’t Matter

Choosing the right tires for your car has become more critical than ever, as both tires and vehicles reach record-high prices. While many focus on brand names, three crucial factors matter more than brand when choosing the right tires for your vehicle. Let’s explore why brand loyalty might be limiting your options and potentially costing you more.

Function is Key

Shopping for your car tires is similar to shopping for your shoes.  

When shopping for shoes, we always consider how the shoes will be used, it is the same thing for cars. We buy formal shoes for a formal event, running shoes to run, and hiking shoes to hike.  Same with tires, all-season touring for a comfortable ride, performance tires for high-performance cars, and all-terrain tires for a vehicle that goes on and off-road.  And your favorite brand may not always have the best tire option for your needs.

More Options

The biggest mistake we see at the store is when a person comes in and says “I want this specific tire brand for my car”. 

While, on the other hand, our most knowledgeable customer will say “I want this tire model, as I’m looking for the most comfortable and long-lasting tire.” 

Going back to shoes, just because you like Nike, doesn’t mean that Nike makes the best shoe for your needs. Same with tires, not all tires within one brand are the same. Being fixated on one brand can limit your options or even worse give you a tire that doesn’t meet your needs.
