1. PART WORN TYRES: Don't be tempted to buy part worn tyres ahead of a long journey. They can often be perfectly good for a short space of time, but it is extremely hard to predict how long they will last once they are put into service again. This means that part worn tyres usually turn out to be something of a false economy and you end up paying more for tire upkeep in the long run.
2. CHOOSE RELIABLE CAR TYRE DEALERS: Buying your tyres from a nationwide car tire dealership that sells lots of different brands helps a lot! Point-S one of the leading networks of car tire dealers has local presence all over UK, moreover, they have a convenient reserve and fit system for car tyres which does not require any payment! This way, if you purchase a single car tire from a certain manufacturer before you set off and subsequently need to replace another tire when you are miles away from home on your road trip, you will be able to get the same model of car tire. This will help you not to end up with a mix-match of four different tyres.
3. THE SPARE TYRE: Remember to consider your spare tire as well as the four that are on the road when buying new tyres. An old tire in the boot of your car is not much use if it is not street legal or has already been switched over. Road trips really need five good tyres, not four.
4. TYRE SIZE: Before buying any tyres, especially when you are doing so without a professional present who can check your tyres for you, remember to confirm both the size and specification details that is mentioned in your car owner’s manual. This will mean you get ones which not only fit the sort of wheels you have, but will also result in all the tyres being compatible with one another, a legal requirement in the UK.
5. TYRE BRAND MATTERS: Finally, consider the destination of your road trip. A long journey in the summer probably means that a normal brand of tire will be perfectly adequate. However, if you are thinking of driving northwards, then winter tyres from a reputed brand such as Michelin can be especially helpful. They maintain better traction in snow and ice and are often a better option than snow chains at lower temperatures.
