The bottom line is do your homework - don't fear - and save money! And in my case I was able to get a better tire that was not available in my local area. This tire was rated the best SUV and Light Truck tire and it was cheaper than lesser rated tires but that is the subject of another article.
Step One: Choosing the right frame. You can use whatever car frame you want to use. There is no rule against this. Most people like to use old designs since it is cheaper then buying a new one. If you plan to race it, you should choose a light frame to make the car move faster. You may even choose to remove or add any accessories to meet your needs.
Buying online gives access to just about any tire you want. On top of that you can see tests run on individual tires and make you decision based on actual performance. Users just like yourself also rate their tires so you can see other users' experience. Chances are you will have an idea of the brand or even tire you want to buy and all you have to do is find your size. If not check out Consumer Reports at your local library for in depth testing and look here for more test results.
When your wheel looks unaligned, it is not yet time to buy a new set. You can try wheel straightening first. This is done by heating, using metallurgical skills, hydraulic pressure and customized tools.

I have sold thousands of items on eBay and sometimes I have done real well and sometimes my buyer has done real well.

Every junk yard is a little different with regard to pricing. And the amount you can expect to save will vary based on the type of item you're looking for. For example, car seats may carry higher savings than fuel pumps. As a general rule, you should expect to pay 40% to 50% less than you would for a comparable new unit. A brand new "straight-from-the-box" alternator might cost $200. At a junkyard, you should expect to pay $100 to $120 for the same brand and model.
When purchasing snow tires, you should think about buying separate rims. The reason for this is because it saves you money and time when you have to switch them out. When you should install them depends on where you live. A good recommendation is to change them once you notice the temperatures hitting around 10 degrees Celsius.
You never want to be in a situation where your vehicles safety features fail during a time of emergency. Anti-lock braking systems will not perform nearly as well with regular tires in snow or icy conditions. The traction control of a tire is limited by the grip the tire on your car provides.
If you have a used car, find out the age of the tires from previous owners and get replacement tires if necessary. You should also research on how and when to replace tires from different manufacturers.
Check that the bolt pattern matches the vehicle and specifications of the car manufacturer. Make sure it doesn't have bends, nicks or scraps to avoid alignment problems. These defects are usually caused by accidents.
