When it comes to purchasing any component for your car, word of mouth is always the best way to go. Tires are no different; to find a good tire dealer, you should ask around to find the best place to go. You should always beware of who your information is coming from, however; some places have been known to pay people to say good things about them. This is why you should only seek information from people that you trust.
A good tire dealer should have a neat and organized work area. One sign of a good dealer is that the lot contains different types of vehicles. If you see a tire dealer with a bunch of old rusted out vehicles sitting around, it is a great sign that you probably should not take your Jaguar to that place for service. On the other end of the spectrum, if you happen to own an old rusted out beater, you will likely be wasting your money to take it to a high end location that specializes in sports cars. If a tire dealer does not have any suitable tires in stock for your vehicle, it is a sign that they may not serve many cars similar to yours.
Although you may have a lot of questions for your tire dealer, he should also have questions for you. Unless you provide him with the information, he should want to know if you drive in all seasons (will you need tires that can handle snowy roads?), what type of use will the tires be getting (will you be towing anything heavy or driving hard?) and other such questions. If a dealer does not express this, it is a sign that he just wants you to make a purchase and be gone; not a good sign.
