Finding the Best Affordable Winter Tires

As a responsible driver, we know that you are one to plan ahead. For you, this may mean preparing a budget and finding the best affordable winter tires for after the summer heat subsides. This could be an arduous task if you aren’t sure how to save on winter tires, what to look for, and how to know you are finding the best deals. This is where Highland Tire can help. Let’s begin.

How do you save on snow tires?

You can save on winter tires by purchasing them at the right time of the year and researching any potential deals and steals available. The prime time to find deals are within the few months leading up to the start of winter. October, November, or December winter tire shopping will land you with the best deals. Buying after that will result in the loss of any potential money savings.

Buying winter tires will provide savings… these savings may not be evident as you’re digging through your wallet to provide payment, however, it’s been proven that winter tires can reduce the risk of accidents by 5%. The cost of an accident, hospital bills and repairs far outweigh the cost of purchasing snow tires that can be used multiple winter seasons on your vehicle.

What tires should I look for?

You have a choice as to what you can purchase here – studded, studless, and performance tires are available for winter driving. Whether you are able to use studded tires, and the duration you can utilize them, depends on the laws in your state. (For this section, we will focus on winter tires that can be used everywhere.)

Now, in order to decide what types of winter tires you need, you’ll need to think about your day-to-day life. If you are using them for everyday, you’ll want studless tires as they are more aggressive than performance. Performance tires are better for those states and roadways that are cold but are typically relatively dry.

How do I know that I am finding the best deals?
