Shopping for tires can be overwhelming with the number of options available today. While some motorists are content to use the same tires that came installed on their car, you might be looking for something a tire that performs better in certain conditions or meets a certain price point. Now that you're in the market, you'll notice that there are many brands competing for your attention. Some offer rebates. Some have mileage guarantees. Some include roadside assistance.

So how do you choose the right tires when so many manufacturers are vying for your attention?

 Here are seven steps to help you narrow your search.

1. Tire Type: Determine the type of tire you need (all-season, winter, performance, etc.) based on your driving conditions and climate.

2. Size: Check your owner’s manual or the tire placard on your door jamb for the correct tire size.

3. Tread Life: Look for tires with good tread life warranties if you drive frequently and plan to follow through on maintenance obligations (which you should do regardless).

4. Performance Ratings: Research tire performance ratings for traction, handling, fuel economy, and noise levels.

5. Brand: Consider if the tire brand matters to you, and if so, narrow your search to tires offered by those brands that you like.

6. Price: Set a budget and compare prices from different retailers; remember to check for tire rebates or deals.

7. Reviews: Read customer reviews, watch videos, and seek expert recommendations.
