Tires are one of the biggest personal style choices you can make for your car. Tires can get a lot of attention. Tires are for a lot more than good looks; they are the only thing between you and the road.

Is this a show car? Go for looks. A drag car? Go for performance. Look at the height of the sidewall of the tire-how much impact you can take on the road. If daily driver need to absorb shocks from potholes. If show car it is not as much a consideration Drag racing the sidewalls are twisted and wrinkles to keep on road as accelerates.

2. Weather Conditions

Consider the diameter of the wheel, what kind of brakes do you have on the car? Larger brakes require a larger wheel. Width of the rim itself. Need to consider the use.
