When Is the Best Time to Buy Summer Tires?

Auto Expert Pogulyaev Explains When to Buy Summer Tires

The owner and head of Fit Service, Nikolay Pogulyaev, shared with "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" when it is most beneficial to buy summer tires.

"Summer tires usually arrive in stores in February. This year, we expect prices to increase by about 10–15% compared to last year. Price differences may vary slightly depending on the brand and size. It's good to research brands and read reviews in advance, but the best time to buy is during the season when the selection is widest. Additionally, various promotions are launched in season, such as free installation or cashback offers. Waiting for these deals can be beneficial, but delaying too long is not recommended due to increased demand for both tires and installation services," the expert said.

When choosing summer tires, it's important to consider aquaplaning protection. If the tread width allows, it's better to choose models with four wide drainage grooves.

There are still many well-known tire brands on the market. Chinese manufacturers are gradually gaining popularity, but experts recommend choosing premium or mid-range Chinese brands. Avoid unknown brands without reviews, as they may disappear by the next season. It's also essential to check warranty conditions in advance," Pogulyaev added. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
