Find a Tire Seller

Since you’ll have everything literally at your fingertips, finding an online tire retailer is painless. Once you’ve found 2-3, drill down to the testimonial page on their website. You’ll hear first-hand what other customers say about doing business with the retailers you’ve selected for further research.

Look for a seller who has either a phone number, email, or chatbot.

Tire Size Matters

If this is the first time you’ve shopped for tires without the assistance of a tire showroom floor assistant, don’t sweat it! Your tire choices will depend on the size of the tires that fit your vehicle’s current wheel arrangement. 

Size does matter. Imagine ordering tires designed for a compact car when you drive a full-sized pickup truck.

The good news is you don’t need to crawl around under your car or get dirty cleaning old tire black off your tires to find the size. To verify the size of the tires on your vehicle are correct, open the driver’s door and locate the decal in the door jam that has your tire information listed. Next, make sure this information matches what is on the sidewall of your tires. Look for a similar number such as P205/15R16. 

Once you have this information, you are ready to shop online. Online tire retailers go out of their way to make your shopping experience seamless and stress-free. That includes using their convenient online form to search by vehicle make/model, tire size, or license plate. 

Choosing the Right Tires

Is there a right tire? It turns out every model vehicle has a tire size and type of tire that works best. Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative and buy tires bigger or smaller than the stock tires that came installed when you purchased your car new. You will need to make sure you buy tires designed to fit your rims. If you are unsure, you need to consult a tire expert like the ones at JACK Mobile Tire. 

If you’re satisfied with the way your vehicle rides and handles the current tires, go ahead and replace them with the original equipment (OE) tire. Maybe you’re not thrilled with the tires that came with the car. If that’s the case, make a list of the features you’d like, such as better traction, less vibration, or better performance in harsh winter conditions. Many tire retailers will list a good, better, best option for you to choose from.

Spend some time reading reviews on the tires that have the features you want.

Pricing Tires Online

Most consumers don’t want to spend a lot of time negotiating the price on anything. It’s a frustrating game at best. 

When you shop online, no pesky salesperson is hovering while you try to pretend like you’re absorbed in deciphering the tiny labels on the tires. The same salesperson who isn’t too excited about negotiating a better price on the tires you like.

Pricing tires online is a snap once you’ve settled on the tires you want to buy. All you need to do is spend a little more time researching. 

Make a comparison of the price for four tires from a few different retailers’ websites. Don’t forget the cost for shipping and handling and sales tax if applicable. Not all websites are apples to apples, or tires to tires! You need to make sure any install charges and additional fees are not excluded from the price of the tires when comparing tire prices online. So what might seem like a really good deal, may turn out to cost you more in the long run. It’s best to trust a local expert like JACK Mobile Tire, who purchases tires directly from the manufacturers and eliminates any hassle. 

Choose Your Installer

After determining the tires you want, you’ll need to find someone local to install them. Keep in mind that in addition to the purchase price of your new tires, most installers charge for mounting, balancing, and installation. 

Depending on who you purchase from, you could have the tires delivered and installed at their brick-and-mortar tire shop, like Jack Williams Tire & Auto Service Centers. The most inconvenient part of that is that you have to drive your car to the installer’s location.
