Don't Skimp on Safety

 Cheap and tires don't go in the same sentence.

For all you transit students who commute to Lyndon State college, you'll notice you put a lot of mileage on your tires. At some point you'll need to change them. The questions you'll have to answer is, "what tire do I buy? Do I change all four or just two?"

Joseph Kennett, the manager of Stratham Tire in Lancaster NH, recommends changing all four tires at once. However, this is not always feasible. Due to tough economic times you may only be able to afford to change one or two at a time. In this case, the pair of replacement tires is selected in the same size and construction as those on the vehicle. The two newer tires should be installed on the rear axle to prevent oversteering and loss of stability,. Along with better tracing with the front tires, it makes the vehicle much safer.

Kennett also added, "When purchasing new tires, you want to go with a quality tire on your vehicle for better handing, stability, and better safety." One customer came into his shop and  said, "I want a quality tire for my vehicle." Kennett looked up the tires for his vehicle and gave the man a choice of quality tires. The man picked out the tire without asking the price. Kennett asked, "Don't you want to know the price of these tires? Do you want the cheapest ones?" The man said, "No. I just want  the total price because ‘cheap' and ‘tires' don't belong in the same sentence."

So when changing your tires, you want to go with a quality and you want to change all four tires at the same time if possible, for performance, stability, and safety.
