Like most people you would think the answer to this question is so obvious, right? Well this is why we’re writing this article because actually it’s not. Every year many customers wait until the first sign of winter and begin to do their research and read reviews of winter tires, and although there’s nothing wrong with this approach it could be prohibiting these customers from some excellent savings. Savings you say! What do you mean? Well we here at Next Tires are going to let you in on a little industry secret.
Unlike the normal purchasing trends for vendors and their high performance tires, all season tires and truck tires, winter tires must be purchased directly from the manufacturer a year in advance. This means that online tire stores and local tire shops must try to predict the quantity of tires they will need, which brands they will be offering and of course how severe old man winter will be. All of these variables play into your favor as a consumer looking for winter tires during fall and ahead of time. More often than not, because these stores must buy these tires in advance, they over estimate what they needed. This means that they are often sitting on excessive inventory that is costly and taking up warehouse space until the following winter. In addition, they are hoping that those same models will be popular and sell. Because of this unpredictability of the snow and winter tire industry, many stores will offer huge tire sales during summer to blow this old winter inventory out and get the latest and greatest winter tires in and this is your opportunity to save!
If you live in areas of the country that get measurable amounts of snowfall then this should be music to your ears. Don’t wait until tire inventories are limited and you have to pay premium prices, because everyone else in your region is doing the same thing. Save yourself and your pocket book some stress and consider what we have shared with you today. Believe us when we say that buying winter tires online during the fall months can be well worth your while.
