Over the past few years I have been watching tire sales, finding at tire potential and have been spending a lot of time trying to figure out the big question. That query would be is it great to suck it up and put top potential tires on your car or run uncostly tires and change them more often. The real riposte does come down to personal preference any way I have to say that I myself prefer to run cheap tires and change them every 30-40 thousand miles if need be. Of course when production this decision I ran my own tests to riposte the following questions.
Question #1 By running cheap tires am I sacrificing safety? I have 2 children so this was very important. What I found is that 9 times out of 10 the cheap tires performed as well as the high-priced tires. Sure tire fellowships will tell you that there state of the art tread construct will cut straight through rain and stop hydroplaning as an example. I have to say that going straight through a 1 foot deep puddle the laws of gravity and water mass defiantly out do the tread design. The fact is that hit at the right speed and force no tire tread construct is going to stop you from hydroplaning. So in this case the cheap tires worked just as good as the more high-priced high potential tires. The next part of this query is are these cheap tires more apt to blow? The best riposte to that is it is very unlikely. Most flat tires are caused by either under inflation ( which is the fault of the operator for not checking tire pressures) or by road hazards. 9 times out of 10 a road hazard is going to blow your tire no matter what the potential is. The only exception is if you are running run flat tires which cost at least 4 times the money.

Question #2 When I figure the cost of tires including labor etc. Which scenario works out better? Here again we will look at the dissimilarity in tires and costs. We will look at the same sized tire (225-60-16) in 2 separate brands that can be purchased straight through An online tire store. The first tire will be the Sumitomo Htr Plus priced at .00 40,000 mile tire and the Bridgestone Potenza Re92 priced at 2.00 which is a 36000 mile tire.
First of all the Bridgestone tire is over duplicate the price and will have less life the the Cheap Tire. The only benefit is a slightly great ride. But the price tag for a set of 4 is 6.00 more. I don't know about you but my 4 year old car does not have a brand new suspension and no matter what will not ride like I am riding on air. I unquestionably do not think I will observation the dissimilarity and will gladly pocket the 6.00 and buy the cheap tires. Heck i might take that money and go to the cape for the weekend riding on my cheap tires.
Final question. I plan on driving this car into the ground and I want only the best. This is the best yet. I don't know how many times I have heard this one or should I say said it myself. First of all even if I do drive the car forever. I will still by the cheap tires. The reality any way is that I have never, Not once bought a new pair of tires and wore them out. It will never happen. I get an itch and sick of the car I am driving and go buy someone else one. I can't operate it it just happens. And when it does boom I will buy someone else set of cheap tires for that car. It is that simple.
