How to choose tires for a car in terms of price / quality ratio?

When buying new shoes for your vehicle, start from the main selection criteria:

1. The size. Information can be found in the documents for the car or by consulting with a specialist from the service.
2. Season. Tires must match the season, your safety depends on it. Be sure to use winter tires if you live in regions with low air temperatures, frequent icy roads or heavy snowfalls. For warmer areas, all season is suitable.
3. driving style. Love to drive? Choose tires that can handle high speeds. Do you often carry cargo or fill the cabin with passengers? Examine the parameter of the maximum load on each wheel. For aggressive driving, it is preferable to install cross-country products with significant wear resistance.
4. Tread. The directional pattern provides controllability, lack of hydroplaning and comfort when driving. Asymmetry is suitable for any climatic and road conditions. It will facilitate the passage of long turns and will not allow the loss of directional stability. Tires with symmetry or a non-directional tread pattern gently roll over road bumps and are characterized by increased acoustic comfort.
