Do your summer tires need changing? With the arrival of spring, it's time to get serious about changing your tires. As of March 15, it's legal to drive your vehicle on summer tires.

The big question is always which tire to choose. With the incredible choice on the market, it's easy to get lost. Here are some practical tips to help you make the right choice.

1 - The condition of your vehicle

Before you even make a choice, it's important to get one thing right. If your vehicle's suspension is not in good condition, and the same goes for the alignment, you're going to be throwing your money away because your new tires are going to wear out at a crazy rate. Remember to make sure your model is in good condition before you give it new shoes.

2 - Buy according to your use

A merchant may try to sell you tires that are not suitable for your vehicle or situation. When buying new tires, you must first answer a few important questions. How long do you expect to keep your vehicle? How many kilometers do you drive per year? Do you need a tire that performs better for sporty driving or a product that lasts longer? In fact, knowing the use you plan to make of your vehicle with new tires allows you to make the right choice.

3 - Beware of cheap prices

Buying tires is a major expense and it is easy to be seduced by cheaper products. However, in some cases, the quality is not there. Think about it; you are putting your safety and that of your family in the hands of your tires. They are the ones that keep good contact with the road, allow you to brake well, etc. Also, consider reading what's been written about the product you want. You'll find reviews from experts, as well as users, that will give you a good idea of whether or not you're about to make a good purchase.
