Truck tires can cost a lot of money and they usually burst on you when you least expect it. But you don’t have the luxury of sitting around and saving up money to replace that busted set of tires. You need to replace them now so you can get where you need to go.
But before you do anything, you need to set your budget. If you’re looking for new truck tires, you should be looking to spend anywhere between $1,400 and above for a sturdy, durable set of tires. If you don’t have that much money lying around, there is one other option – used truck tires. These are readily available and they’re cheap, so you can get them in weeks or days, rather than saving up for months.
Now with used truck tires, the main benefit is that they are cheap and they’re readily available. But there are some drawbacks. One is that they usually don’t come with a strong guarantee. They’re sold as is. So if you happen to pick up a set of tires that are not so great, the store will not refund your money.
Two, they don’t come with a strong guarantee. They usually don’t come with a guarantee at all and they’re likely to only last you between 1 to 2 years. New tires, on the other hand, are dependable, they come with a strong guarantee, and they also have a service warranty.
Now, these are three great things that anyone would like to have but the downside is that they usually cost between 20% to 25% more than used truck tires. So it really does depend on your needs. If you have money lying around, $1,400 or more, go ahead and opt for the new truck tires. In the long run, they’re going to last you 5 to 7 years of really heavy use and you don’t have to worry about anything. But if you don’t have the money to buy new tires now and you just need a set of tires now, go ahead and go with a used set.
