How do you like to buy tires?

Question

Would you rather buy tires like you all do today by having to know your size, type, etc when you call around for prices? Or would you just rather the tire dealer choose tires specifically for your vehicle? All you have to know is your year, make & model?

Answer 1

Other than making some poor recommendations and for reasons which are completely unknown, yeah go ahead and knock yourselves out.

Personally, an ultra-high performance tire would not be my first recommendation on a minivan.

*****EDIT****

Look at your site again.  For what was it, the 02-04 Odyssey you recommend the Falken 912.  That is a UHP AS tire.  For the 98-02 Accord you recommend the Nokian i3 - a good tire, I own a set - but not for everyone by any means.  It is for example useless for someone who drives in snow.  Also, the speed rating is lower than what Honda recommends for that car.  Again, given the hundreds of tires available in that hugely popular size, why pick that one particular tire without even inquiring about the customers needs and driving habits?  The Falken I understand, they are listed as a sponsor at the top of your page so the connection is pretty clear, but it doesn't have anything to do with meeting the needs of the customer.

Answer 3

I know what the numbers mean, and the difference in quality of makes, so instead of getting shafted by your concept i can shop around.

Answer 4

Dont Let The Dealer Recommend Tires Because He Or She Will Pick The Most Expensive Ones But In An Honda I Would Go With A Goodyear American Eagle If U Drive Fast And Its A Sporty Look But If U Want A Comfotable Ride And Dont Drive Fast Goodyear Viva 2.
