Why Aren’t Cheap Tires the Best?

Tempted by the allure of low cost tires? There are several considerations you should make before replacing your worn tires with cheap tires. The first is tire life. Many of your big brand tires are designed to last and back up mileage claims with warranties. Some tire manufacturers even provide additional perks like prorated tire replacement in the event you hit a road hazard or even roadside assistance. Cheap tires might not come with a warranty or any of these perks. In many cases, cheap tires won’t last as long as quality tires either. So you might find yourself back in the tire shop sooner than you would with a fairly priced set.

The next point to keep in mind is performance. Even when tires have similar tread patterns they can differ greatly in overall handling. That’s because the tread is only one part of the total tire equation. There’s also the rubber and inner material that makes up each tire. A lot of money and research goes into creating tires that excel in certain areas like fuel economy, noise volume, and handling in different weather conditions. Cheap tires aren’t as much money because they use lesser quality material that doesn’t cost as much to use.

It’s good to remember that cheap and affordable aren’t the same thing. At Master Auto Repair, you can find affordable tires from trusted brands. Many of our brands often run rebates and specials to help you save even more money.
