You know how it goes – you go to replace a couple of tires on your Honda, and before you know it, you're spending way more than you expected. Maybe it was the salesman's patter or all of the extra warranties they try to sell you – but suddenly, that cheap set of tires has turned into a significant investment. So, with some relevant info, you can avoid getting taken for a ride when buying new tires for your Honda. Keep reading for our top tips!

1) Consider Tread Depth

When in doubt, refer to your Honda's owner's manual. It will have the minimum acceptable tread depth for your vehicle. New tires typically have 10/32" of tread, while the minimum legal limit in most states is 2/32".

2) Compare Prices

Tire prices vary depending on where you go, so shop around. Remember that cheap tires might not last as long or function as well as more expensive ones.

3) Check for Rebates and Discounts

Tire manufacturers often offer rebates on their products. Many stores also offer discounts and promotions, so it's worth asking about them before making a purchase.

4) Be Wary of "Extras." -

Some stores will try to sell you services or products you may not need, such as tire "protection plans" or road hazard insurance. These can add significantly to the final bill, so ask about them before buying.

5) Get the Right Size -

It's essential to get tires that are the correct size for your vehicle. Messing up the tire size can harm gas mileage, handling, and braking.

6) Consider Your Budget and Driving Needs

Tires are necessary for owning a car, but they can be expensive. Don't overspend on tires you don't need. Consider your budget and driving habits when buying tires. Your location, driving habits, and vehicle type affect how often you need to replace your tires.

7) Know When to Buy

The best time to buy tires is typically in the fall or winter. Many companies offer discounts during these months. You can also find good deals during the Memorial Day and Fourth of July sales.

8) Read Reviews

One way to find a suitable tire is to read online reviews. Search for the tires you shortlisted and read what other customers say about them.

9) Get an alignment

Once you've found the perfect set of tires, make sure to get an alignment. An alignment helps your car handle better and improves your gas mileage.
