Q: A store near my house has off brand tires on sale where you get 4 for $199. I'm short on cash and this seems like a great deal. Is there really that much of a difference between store brand tires and name brand tires? - Danielle

A: Danielle, 

Let's take a closer look... 

Cheap import, no name tires cost $40-$45 each. You receive no warranty. You can expect maybe 20,000 - 25,000 miles of life from them. You often can't match it if you need a new tire due to a flat or damage, and almost always suffer poor ride quality due to poor manufacturing. Now consider this. For $8-$10 more, you can buy a quality tire manufactured by a well-known company. You get a warranty for both material workmanship and a tread life guarantee, often 40,000 miles or more. The quality of manufacturing is superior and you get ride quality guaranteed. At Tire Pros of Frederick, we understand in this economy every dollar counts and it's often hard to find the extra $32, but considering twice the expected tire life and better ride quality, isn't it worth the extra?
