Is There a Difference Between a Low priced Tire and a Higher Priced Tire

May 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Is there a difference between a lower cost tire and a higher priced tire? There are many options for car and truck owners these days with regards to the enormous selection of tires available for their vehicles. From brand names such as BFGoodrich to lesser known tire brands such as AutoGuard.  See www.valuetirefl.com for a huge selection of available tires.




Attempting to figure out what tire is the best option, one must consider that you will always get what you pay for.  While AutoGuard a cheaper tire that may be enticing to the cash strapped consumer, it will cause the car to ride rougher rattling the passengers inside the cabin.  The cheaper tire may also compromise one’s safety, as the tire is not made for specific road conditions such as  heavy rain, snow, sleet etc. 




 Michelin tires are made with high end compounds that help the tire handle the extreme conditions your car will experience year round. As a result of the manufacturing process Michelin uses, a consumer must spend more money up front to purchases these tires.  However one will immediately notice a smoother, longer lasting ride that will help with fuel efficiency, and most importantly safety. 




We have found that most customers are glad they spent the extra money on a higher end tire. They notice less noise, better adherence to wet surfaces, along with more traction in mud and gravel.  Their cars also tend to drift less at higher speeds. 




 The answer to the question is yes.  One may frown at the price of the higher quality tire, however in the end, you will be grateful you spent those extra few dollars.
