Step 1: Closely examine the tires you have on your car at this time. Check the size, type, model #'s etc... Look at the sidewall of the tire for almost all this information. You might not understand it all at first, but that's no problem. Make sure you copy the information down so you have it when you need it. Are you sure you need new tires? Be sure to check for that.
Step 2: Put in a call to your favorite tire shop or one near by and say: Hi, I own a 1998 Honda Civic and I'd like to see what you have in stock that would fit my car? (replace your make and model naturally) Ensure you're ready to take down the information they give you, and write down everything they say. Don't hangup until you have the exact price inclusive of installation, and all the detailed info on the tires. You might have to ask but,check out what the manufacture suggested mileage is. NOTE: Not all shops can tell you right off the bat what kind of tires to get for your car. That's exactly why I had you copy down your current tire information. Now they should have no trouble giving you the info you need.
Step 3: Compare what you found at the first shop with a few other tire shops in the area.
Step 4: Now that you've got some solid information, whittle your notes down to a few possible tires. Look up the details of your tire possibilities in a search engine and find out what the customer reviews say. Read customer comments, trade blogs, any information you can find on the specific tire.
Step 5: You're all set, you've done your homework and are ready to make a tire purchase.
We hope this guide is helpful for you. Leave us a comment if you have something to add! Good Luck!
