This was a very educational video but remember to check the DOT rating, it’s a 4 digit number. The first 2 numbers is the week the tire was created, and the last 2 numbers is the year the tire was made. I got ripped off with my tires that were made in 1998 and it left me stranded on the freeway.

How old is too old?

[@OliverEsquivel-w9z]

@@PaulaTurk-z7ino more than 2-3 years, once it hits older than 4 years it’s considered unsafe

[@Prestiged_peck]

​@user-pj1sf8ol9g you shouldn't buy "new" tires with a date code over 2 years, tires are illegal after 5-7 years from date of manufacture in most areas. I think down here in Texas the max is 10

[@GTVAlfaMan]

Always check the DOT date of manufacture stamp on each tire. Some tire dealers will try to pass off two year old tires on you.

Always best to buy recaps. In these years of cruel inflation you can save enough money to help you on those high grocery bills.

This video is actually perfect for me. Was about to buy new tires for my 2015 GTI first time buying tires on this car and I wanted something good but dont want to break the bank. I just used these tips and im amazed

[@jamesshaw476]

Great video! I don't have a high performance car like yours, some of the tips you suggested I know work. Especially knowing your tire size and calling the tire retailers. For my '07 Eclipse - I did get a value for 17" tires for $500. That's $500 for all four. Asking for rebates does work, asking for free installation -- I didn't get, they said no, but I did get the free road warranty. Which a few weeks later came in handy because I picked up a nail and had to have the whole tire replaced. You may not like Discount Tire, but they gave me, I think a great deal on a 50K mile tire.

[@michaelhinchey]

Lifetime tire rotation. Well worth it. It cost 20 bucks per rotation. I do that every oil change. So I'd prob save over 100 bucks on a set of tires.

[@johninmontana5847]

[@DMalltheway]

Very good stuff. I got rid of my Good Year Wrangler Tires at 65k despite 30% tread left due to the rainy season coming up and wanting to visit the snow. The way I bought my Michelin Defenders M/S for my Ram was I first researched for all season tires for best performance as well as warranty which Michelins had the best reviews and a warranty of 70k. Costco had the best deal for 4 new Defender tires at $840 before taxes due to a $150 manufacturer discount, went to Big O Tires to see if they could match it due to their alignment service that Costco doesn’t do, they matched it immediately and alignment was an additional $100. Once the negotiation part was done I showed them a $100 Groupon at Big O Tires which I paid $33 to save $67 more which I used at checkout. Then I used 2 separate credit cards since at Big O I would get 5% back up to $20 to max that out at saving another $40 plus the points I earned. Then instead of paying the tire disposal fee I took the old tires with me and sold them at a used tire shop for $50. All in all I’m very happy and saved around $320 plus now I can do all my rotations at Big O for free without the long lines at Costco and have great tires to go with it.

[@AldenPez]

Wow that’s crazy man. Good deal but seems like a lot of work. I typically buy quality truck tires 90% tread or newer for about 50% off on Facebook marketplace

Brad/Squid like the Porsche I have 19” rims on my GT Falcon . In saying that I’ve found I’ve stuck with the OEM Dunlop Sportmaxx which is Y rated like the Porsche but a 35 not a 30 and the best deal I’ve had was at a Bridgestone Dealer at nearly $500 off across the tyres as they had a near 30% off sale on non Bridgestone tyres from generic through performance tyres.

[@kermitefrog64]

The tire with the taller sidewall is the better tire. The 16" tire will give a smoother ride because the taller sidewall will take a rough road like a shock absorber. The short sidewall makes a rough ride and they wear out faster.

[@kwedog2373]

Safari is a very acquired taste. I'm not in a hurry to see a Porsche sliding in the mud but I'm always looking for a good deal on tires.

[@danielparrish5438]

I have found some of the lowest prices on tires from internet dealers who will ship the tires directly to you. I purchase a set of tires this way this week and beat the local tire dealers by over $230 ...... the problem is buying tires this way requires you to find someone who will mount and balance them for you and this could cost an additional $30 a tire. If I had purchase local then that cost could have been free. Another problem I have found is if you buy a brand of tire not sold in your area then you may have problems getting it serviced under warranty.

I just bought a used truck that needs new tires. The tires on it are 15" but every time I look on a website and put in my trucks specs it says I need a 16" tire. Why? I like the looks of the tire and it seems to have good enough reviews. The dealer wouldn't have put on wrong tires and then try and sell me new ones would he? He tried to sell me new ones but didn't say anything about them being the wrong size or anything.

Hi Brad, I have had many beater junkers. I finally bought a nice 07 camry se 215/55R17 two years ago. Most I paid for a car and I LOVE it. Another first will be buying a set of new tires. One is SEVEN years old. I drive through a puddle on a curve and I feel like I am watching Jason getting work done in a Friday Thirteenth movie. It is white knuckle harrowing. Terrifying. I am hydroplaning all over the place. I watched many videos and have narrowed it down to too many tires - five. Federal SS 595.Riken Raptor VR. General Gmax AS05. Conti DSW 06. Mich Pilot Sport AS4. I am at the get on the phone and call stage. Any thoughts on what to say calling around? I have watched your video at least 5 times and I found it the value of the Mona Lisa.

[@BrazyCrypto]

Dude, in my area we had the worst rain in a decade a year ago and I was hydroplaning everywhere too and I bought my used car a couple weeks before it happened. Fast forward to now and I realize the tires are freaking 9 years old and dry rotted. I need new tires now!

Hit dislike twice, LOL. If I like I hit like twice, too, right? Good vid for the novice. Tire shops like to sell alignments with new tires and with good reasons for them and for you. For nearly 20 years I went to an excellent alignment shop in Walnut Creek, California, that would mount tires for you but didn’t sell tires. I never ended up getting tires mounted there, but the alignments were always great. They’d also tell me when the alignments were still within specifications and not charge me. Then I moved across the country. If you think you want the tire shop to align your front and rear ends, consider reviews and pricing. Maybe they’ll discount it if they’re also selling you tires and hazard protection because alignments affect wear.

The hardest part about shopping for tires is that you cannot search for a range of sizes. 18 inch wheels can fit a range of width and aspect ratio significantly and sometimes tires will be significantly less expensive for the same make and model of tire just one size off but you never see that because everyone tries to replace with exactly the manufacturer specifications.
