Procuring tires generally is confusing. It's difficult to know where to start, and particularly if you haven't bought tires before it's doubtful you have a feel for what you're looking for. I'll bet this resource will assist you acquire your next pair of tires. This is the information we would give to our kids if they asked how to buy tires.
Step 1: What kind of tires do you currently have? Inspect the dimensions, name, model #'s etc... You can find most of that information on the sidewall of the tire itself. You might not understand it all at first, but that's no problem. Be sure you jot it down on a piece of paper for reference though. You should also confirm that you actually need new tires.

(substitute your make and model clearly) Ensure you're ready to take down the information they give you, and jot down everything they tell you. Make sure you know the exact price including installation, and all you want to know about the tires. They might not volunteer the information but,get an idea of what the estimated mileage for the tire is. NOTE: Not all shops can tell you right off the bat what kind of tires to get for your car.
