Rubber Buying

Its tire-buying season for some, and its easy to be perplexed with all the varying options available for purchase. We would like to hear from you if you've recently bought a set of tires. Send us a review with your comments on the grip, noise, braking distance and whether you would buy it again or not, and email us at shift@thedailystar.net.

Here's a list of updated tire prices for 2014, featuring selected tires and common sizes. The prices quoted are dealer prices, and most of the smaller shops will give you a better deal if you're good at haggling. Expect the price to go even lower if you're going for an exchange deal with your old tires.
