Buying tires is easier when you know what information matters before you call or walk into a shop. Deals On Wheels & Tires sells and installs new passenger tires only for cars, SUVs and light-duty pickups at 3292 Shawnee Ave #9 in West Palm Beach. Use this guide to prepare for a tire quote, understand the markings on the sidewall, recognize when alignment or suspension issues may affect a new set, and avoid replacing the wrong tire for the vehicle.
New tire buying checklist
- Read the complete tire size from the sidewall.
- Have the vehicle year, make and model available.
- Know how many tires you believe need replacement.
- Tell the shop if the vehicle is AWD or 4WD.
- Report pulling, vibration, repeated pressure loss or uneven tire wear.
- Check whether the current tires show cracking, bulges, sidewall damage or very low tread.
- If you are replacing four tires, ask what mounting, balancing, disposal and rotation services are included.
How to read a passenger tire size
A common passenger tire marking might look like 225/65R17. In that example, 225 is the nominal tire width in millimeters, 65 is the aspect ratio, R indicates radial construction and 17 is the wheel diameter in inches. Load index and speed rating may appear after the basic size and also matter when selecting a replacement.
The driver-door placard normally lists the manufacturer’s recommended tire size and inflation pressures. If the vehicle has aftermarket wheels or a non-stock size, mention that when calling. For more detail, see how to read your tire size.
Do you need two tires or four?
Sometimes two tires can be replaced while the other pair still has healthy tread and compatible specifications. AWD and 4WD vehicles can be more sensitive to tire-circumference differences, so tread depth and the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements should be checked before deciding. Read our detailed guide on whether to replace two tires or four.
Can a punctured tire be repaired instead?
Not every flat tire needs replacement, and not every puncture is safely repairable. Damage location, size, tire condition and other factors matter. Our tire repair service can inspect the tire and determine whether repair is appropriate or a new tire is the better choice.
Why alignment matters when buying new tires
If the old tires are worn heavily on one edge, feathered or cupped, replacing them without addressing the cause can shorten the life of the new set. Pulling, an off-center steering wheel and uneven wear can point to alignment or steering/suspension problems. Deals On Wheels uses Hunter equipment for wheel alignment in West Palm Beach.
Florida rain makes tread condition important
Heavy South Florida rain and standing water put additional emphasis on tread depth and tire condition. Worn tread reduces the tire’s ability to move water away from the contact patch. Cracking, bulges, exposed cords and other visible damage also deserve immediate attention rather than waiting for the next scheduled maintenance visit.
What is included when you buy four new passenger tires?
At Deals On Wheels & Tires, a purchase of four new passenger tires includes mounting, balancing and disposal, plus lifetime rotation on that set of four. Exact tire availability varies by size and current inventory, so call with the sidewall size or vehicle information before arrival if you want an inventory check.
Passenger and commercial tire inventory are different
This guide is for passenger vehicles. Passenger cars, SUVs and light-duty pickups are new-tire-only. Commercial truck inventory is handled separately: Deals On Wheels services new commercial 15, 16, 17.5, 19.5, 22.5 and 24.5 applications, while qualifying 22.5 and 24.5 commercial applications may also have used or recap options. See the commercial truck tire size guide for that distinction.
Need new tires but paying for the entire set today is difficult? Deals On Wheels offers eligible tire customers multiple payment and lease-to-own options through American First Finance, Acima and Kafene where applicable. See our West Palm Beach tire and repair payment-options guide before postponing tires you need.
