When you need a new car, a trade-in is an affordable option. However, in most cases, you’ll still have to pay the difference, as your used car’s value will have depreciated. By making upgrades, such as new tires, you can minimize this difference. Here’s a guide to help you determine if a tire replacement is the right choice.

What Are the Advantages of Buying New Tires Before Trading In My Car?

The dealer will thoroughly assess your vehicle’s parts before approving the trade, including the tires. Depending on how worn the tires are, and how often you had them rotated, the dealer can adjust the trade-in value they believe your car deserves. By replacing the tires, your car won’t lose value for wear and tear because the dealer knows your car will sell faster with new tires. Even though you’ll have to pay for the tire replacement, you can get a higher trade-in price for your revamped vehicle, which will more than make up for the expense.

When Is It Worth It?

If your tires are significantly worn or uneven, it’s worth putting up the cash for a replacement. Even if you buy used matching tires, which can be $50 or less each, you can avoid a discount of several hundred dollars on the sale. To determine the severity of the damage, stick a penny in one of the grooves of your tire tread. If you see all of Lincoln’s head, the tread has been worn down to a level that is dangerous for driving, and your tires should be replaced.
