If you've noticed that your car doesn't handle as well as it used to, or you've seen that your tires are getting a little worn, it may be time for a new set of tires.

Many customers ask us which tires we suggest for individual VW models. Choosing the right ones is an important decision because you'll have those tires for three to six years, and it's a big investment.

Here's a quick guide to help you decide which tires are best for you.

First, if you like the tires on your current Volkswagen car or SUV, you can simply buy the same or similar ones. New tires will handle better, make less road noise, and be safer, for you, and for your family.

If you're looking for different (or better) tires, we have a great selection of all the top brands in Fayetteville: Goodyear, Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli, Yokohama, Continental, and more. Each manufacturer has a range of tires for different needs: all-season, touring, all-terrain, and more.

The brand you choose may depend on your particular vehicle, your driving style, or brand loyalty. Call us at Sales 479-439-8641 so we can make specific recommendations. We have competitive prices and get customer service.

What Should I Think About Before Buying New Tires?

When we recommend tires, we always consider your needs, and these four factors: quality, safety, handling, and price. We also need to know what you want from your new tires:

Do you want tires that handle well in the rain, snow or ice?
Do you prefer all-weather tires to get more grip, whether on wet or dry roads?
Do you need tires with deep tread because you go hiking, hunting or fishing, and drive on unpaved roads?
Or do you always choose performance tires because you like to drive aggressively?

In any category, there's always the option of good, better, or best tires, depending on how much money you want to spend. We can offer advice on that, as well.

Or use our Tire Finder tool to find tires in Fayetteville.

How Long Will My Tires Last?

Next, how long do you want your new tires to last? That also depends on different factors.

What is the tire tread life expectancy: 35,000, 50,000, 90,000 miles?
How do you drive, accelerate and brake?
Do you always keep your tires inflated to the right pressure?
Do you have your tires rotated every 6,000 miles?
Do you keep your wheels aligned and tires balanced?
If you keep a proper maintenance schedule and don't drive aggressively, you'll extend the life of your tires.
If not, you may void your warranty and find that they wear out way too soon.

So whether you want your tires to last for a long time, or you just want them to perform their best while you have them, contact us for recommendations for the best tires to buy for your specific VW model: Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, and more.
