Finance Agreements

Buying tires can sometimes be bewildering. It’s hard to understand where to get started, and specifically if you’re new to buying tires you probably don’t understand where to begin. We’re sure this asset will help you acquire your next group of tires. We wish we had a guide like this when we bought our first set of tires.

Step 1: What kind of tires do you currently have? Inspect the volume, type, model #’s etc… All this information is easily read off the sidewall of the tire. You might not understand it all at first, but that’s no problem. Be sure you jot it down on a piece of paper for reference though. Are you sure you need new tires? Be sure to check for that.

Step 2: Call up our featured tire shop or the tire shop of your choice and say: Hi, I own a 2003 Honda Civic and I’m wondering what kind of tires you have in stock for that make and model? (substitute your make and model naturally) Ensure you’re ready to take down the information they give you, and copy down exactly what they tell you. Make sure you know the exact price inclusive of installation, and all the detailed info on the tires. They might not volunteer the information but,find out what the manufacture suggested mileage is. NOTE: Not all shops can tell you right off the bat what kind of tires to get for your car. Good thing you have all the details of your current tires. Now they should have no trouble giving you the info you need.

Step 3: Compare what you found at the first shop with a few other tire shops in the area.

Step 4: Based on the information, narrow your choices down to 2-3 potential tires. Search Google for the name and model of each tire and find out what the customer reviews say. Read reviews, trade blogs, anything you can find.

Step 5: You should now have plenty of information to make your tire purchase.

Hopefully you learned something by reading this guide. If you learn something you’d like to share during your tire purchase please leave a comment so others can learn as well. Good Luck!

Isn’t saving money on tires fun? We think so, for even more money saving tips visit http://kccarsandtrucks.blogspot.com/

Personal debt is something that is, generally, quite easy to get into. National statistics show that, in combined personal debt, the UK is almost 1.5bn in the red.

To avoid getting into debt, you can easily do this by adopting a sensible approach to spending. Avoiding using your credit cards and making unnecessary impulse buys, and try carrying only the cash you need with you each day. If you spend a 5 or 10 at lunch each day, try bringing your won lunch to work. You can make your money work for you by shopping around, using loyalty cards and looking out for special offers.

If you’re already into debt, the most important thing is not to make the situation worse. Credit cards, fixed term overdrafts, and even debt consolidation loans are not the way to go – most will involve high interest rates and fees that will only add to your problems later on.

Manage your current debt: You will often see advertisements for debt consolidation loans for people with a bad credit history, but more often than not, these involve high interest rates that lead to more debt. Many lenders will negotiate with you if you are running into trouble, so always check directly with them first, and never ignore arrears letters – the problem won’t go away. If need be, seek impartial advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau or the Consumer Credit Counselling Service.

If your financial situation is worsening, seek advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau or the Consumer Credit Counselling Service. Both offer free, impartial advice and they won’t try and sell you any ‘debt solutions’.

Got a skill? Use it! Doing part time or weekend work can bring in a little extra money each month, so whether it’s teaching music, languages, cutting hair, or even doing weekend or evening work in a bar/shop, you can always bring in a little extra cash.
