One of the more expensive parts on a car to replace, tires can be found at discounts when you know where to look.
Wholesale
Stores like Walmart offer name brand tires at low prices, buying them in bulk as they do. Compare the prices you find at Walmart and other wholesalers with online sites to determine whether you are getting the best deal possible.Online
More and more online sites are offering tires at a discount these days. Sites like Big O Tires, Tire Team, Online Tires and Direct Buy Tire are great places to start your search.Shop Around
Compile tire prices from several retailers. It is possible that some retailers offer price matches if you can find a similar offer at a lower price. Figure out all of your options before handing over any cash.Be Cautious
Buying discount tires means you could be compromising on quality. Purchasing name brand tires at a discount may be your best bet to assure quality despite a lower price. Purchasing tire knock-offs could lead to blow-outs, so be sure to determine whether shelling out a little extra money might be worth it in the long run.References
