How To Choose The Best 4X4 Truck Tires

Have you ever considered shopping for your snow tires online? Things have really changed since the last time you looked for tires. Most likely you went down to the local tire shop and just purchased whatever snow tires they had in stock. That can be pretty convenient, but you most likely over paid by at least $50 -$100 for that convenience. I'm not knocking your local tire shop, but there is no doubt about the fact that the entire market as well as the economy has changed drastically the last few years. For most people, every nickel counts.

Try to find if there are tiny cracks. These cracks appear as tires dry up too much. Check the tires' sidewalls and see if there is any scrapes or plugs from wherever it have gotten flat before. So when you're out to buy expensive automotive repairs, do tell the seller to submerge those into water. Keep your eyes open for bubbles.



To get the best deals from purchasing cheap tires, you must always follow the recommended factory size and ratings; and this applies to all kinds of tires. Failure to do this can result to mismatched spare parts and you may end up buying another tire. Be particular on the tire specs even if you're scouting for cheap tires. Remember, a good and cheap tire does not compromise the standard of quality performance.

This is a shame, because tires are made of strong and durable material, and just because they are no longer fit to be used for your vehicle, it doesn't mean their days of usefulness are over. Finding ways to reuse your old scrap tires can greatly reduce the amount of waste you and your family produce each year and may also save you money. There are thousands of ways an old tire could be reused, but the following five ideas for recycling your tires should get you started off on the right path.

First off, lets determine when you actually need tires. Most people are familiar with the penny method for measuring tires. That's where you stick a penny between the tread grooves with Lincoln's head upside down. If you can see the top of his head, it's time to buy tires. This is correct if the tires are roughly equally worn across the entire width of the tire. I should mention that if your tires are in fact so low that you see the top of honest Abe's head you are at the absolute lowest you should go before replacing.

Check the condition of first by checking the tread depth. This lets you know the condition and if you need new ones. In order to drive decently on roads covered with snow the depth should be 4.8mm.
