When Is the Best Time to Buy New Wheels and Tyres

For the best possible deals and sales, try to purchase tyres in spring and autumn. These are the off-peak seasons when specials and discounts prevail.

There are many different types of tyres to help with many weather and road conditions. Depending on your area and your traditional local weather, it may be wise to invest in tyres for the summer that not only can withstand heat, but also rain, or extreme road conditions like dirt or mountain roads, or road construction.

There are many reasons to invest in a new set of wheels and tyres. Buying new tyres doesn't have to be a financial burden; there are many tricks to finding great deals on tyres, as well as knowing when to shop for the best prices. Many consumers wait too long to buy tyres, and tend to only buy one at a time and by the time the first one is old and worn you have to replace them again. The first thing to consider is which tyres need replacing. Ideally, you should replace all your car tyres at the same time, but this is rarely practical because front and rear tyres wear at different rates.

Many mechanics will recommend replacing all four tyres at once for the best price and performance. Most tyres should last 5 to 6 years with proper wheel balancing, rotations and maintenances. It's wise not to wait until it's too late to buy new wheels and tyres. Do not wait until the tread is worn down and the tyres are 'bald' before replacement. Driving on tyres with too little tread can be very dangerous. The handling is severely affected by the loss of tread, as well as making the tyres more fragile to flats or blowouts.

To help maintain stability in extreme conditions, such as emergency braking or a sudden swerve, you should always fit the newest or least-worn tyres on the rear axle. Keep an eye on your tyres and watch for signs of abnormal or uneven wear, as these will severely shorten the lifespan of the tyres. Remember when buying a set of new tyres you need to buy five tyres (for the spare as well). Make sure that you pump the tyres at the right pressure and always check your spare regularly. It is now easy to purchase wheels and tyres in-store or online and then have them fitted at the corresponding fitment center.
