Do you really want to buy cheap tyres or do you want to make sure you pay the best price for the tyres you need for your vehicle? It's quite an important question because there really is a difference and you need to be satisfied that any cheap tyres you buy will offer you the safety, performance and life that you need. This is an important point because more expensive tyres that last longer can cost less than cheap tyres because you don't need to replace them so often and your car will also have improved resale value. Of course you may not mind what cheap tyres you put on your vehicle, just so long as they are legal, but don't forget that you can often get cheap tyres from retailers who are running special offers and price check promotions. Many of these will be selling leading brands at heavily discounted prices and you could discover that your cheap tyres are actually a better buy than you might have expected. It's worth taking time to look into this, especially if you want to match your old worn tyres with an exact replacement. If you search online for cheap tyres you will see many retailers offering leading brands that you recognize the names of but you're not sure which are best for you. Price comparison websites can be a useful guide but don't forget that retailers pay to be included on these sites and this may be reflected in the price you actually pay for your cheap tyres. It's a good idea to make a note of exactly what you are looking for and then making your own cheap tyres comparison from a selection of different retailers before deciding. If you're not altogether happy about buying cheap tyres online, there are plenty of tyre specialists around where you can go in and see exactly what you're buying – and this may suit your needs in terms of time and convenience. It is quite likely too that they will have cheap tyres on special promotions but ring round your other local suppliers and compare prices before buying, because you might be offered a better alternative from another dealer. Don't leave out the smaller local dealers either, because they may be holding stock that they would like to dispose of and are often a good source of cheap tyres. One of the most important things to consider when buying cheap tyres is to ensure that the price you see is the price you will actually pay. If the retailer is not offering an all-inclusive price, check first to see that there are no hidden extras like VAT, fitting or disposal fees for your old tyres. All of these can add up and you could end up paying a lot more for your cheap tyres than you originally bargained for. Local fitting is an important point too and when choosing cheap tyres online, you need to ensure that they are offering a fitting service that is nearby and convenient as a long journey there and back will add to your costs.
