Tire saver: Tips to get more for less on your next set of wheels

Companies make tires for summer, snow and all seasons, so consider the climate where you live, says Bob Toth, manager of passenger tire marketing for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.

There's also generally a tradeoff between handling, fuel economy and tread wear, and you need to come up with the best compromise for your needs. Tires that handle and stop better generally have softer rubber that grips the road better but wears out more quickly. Gripping the road also can cut into fuel economy. Higher-mileage tires with harder rubber don't handle as well but can get better mileage.

Toth suggests looking at Web sites for tire reviews from consumers and independent testers. He uses online store Tire Rack because the company performs its own tests and lists customer reviews. The outside diameter and width of the tires generally need to be the same as the original tires, and the load-carrying capacity must be the same or better. If the diameter is too far off, new tires will throw off speedometers and other gauges that are set to a certain number of tire revolutions per mile. A different width can hurt the vehicle's handling. If the load capacity is too low, it could make tires wear faster.
