Tire Ratings and Reviews On The Web Highlighted By Texas Star-Telegram

The Texas Star-Telegram tried to untangle the web surrounding comparing tire ratings and buying car tires on the internet in their section titled “Untangling the web.” In the article they profile the online tire buying company Tire Rack.

At Tire Rack customers can browse tire ratings and car tire reviews. Then most importantly armed with information

1. Purchase car tires online
2. Select which tire installer in their neighborhood will install the tires for a fixed fee range.
3. Have the car tires drop shipped to the installer
4. Have the car tires installed locally.

The article says about Tire Rack in business “since 1997, and the tire ratings and reviews it provides are a valuable source for shoppers. Tire owners rate several aspects of performance (wet traction, road noise, etc.) and answer the question “Would you buy this tire again?” With a quick click, you can see the results — and you’ll see that those results are based on, say, 3 million total miles of travel. All of this gives you a pretty solid idea of what to expect from your purchase.”
