If you’re planning on buying a new set of auto tires, try to answer these questions first: How often do I drive? What are basic climate conditions where I drive? What is my style of driving? There are may tires out there and answering such questions beforehand will surely help you pick the right size and model. If you’re going to shop for newer designs, they usually allow for a lot more mileage on each tire, improved noise level decrease and often they also improve maneuvering and basic safety of your car. However, these improvements also make them more costly than the older models.

Another factor to consider when checking for auto tires costs is what type of tire you actually need. Car tires might be either wintertime, summer or all-season designs. They range through the pattern of the surface of the tire, the chemical type elements of the rubber and other internal properties. All-season auto tires are sort of a compromise among the other two types and these are generally used where environment is moderate. Its really important to bear in mind that all-season auto tires are still an inaccurate choice for really excessive or very low temperatures. It is storngly recommended to talk to professional mechanic who can help you pick the best tires for your vehicle.

First of all, the reason I went to this location was because I read some of the reviews here on Yelp. Very good choice! I just went for a tune-up and oil change. They had it in and out in about an hour. The staff was friendly and very cooperative. I’d definitely recommend this location!

Btw, I used this to save some cash! It’s $10 until 03/31/11!

The staff was so knowledgeable and great, I went back to get more work done (for different tire). I wont go anywhere else now. They have the best prices and do excellent work. They were honest and told me up front what it was going to cost. Would recommend them to everyone who wants quality work done right the first time.

Once my tire was changed, I drove straight to Tuffy. Great location since it’s only a 10 minute walk from my apartment. Tuffy got my tire replaced in just an hour. When I came to pick it up I discovered that they didn’t even have the tire in stock – they had driven to another store to get my tire. Now that is good service!

Discount Tire

Neighborhood: Gahanna

Kenley M. posted: Discount Tire exceeded all expectations. I was able to confirm the availability of the tire I needed at this location through their online inventory. Moreover, I actually got to set up an appointment through their web site. They were very busy on Saturday morning when I arrived, but they honored my reservation and put my car in front of the line. The employees at the counter were friendly and helpful, and suggested a discount I was eligible for that I didn’t even know about. I barely had time to call my girlfriend and tell her what a good experience I was having before they finished work and brought the car around. I would definitely go back to Discount Tire.
